Where were they going without ever knowing the way? That's a good question! Looking back on our past experiences with cruising sailboats, we always find ourselves in trouble while enjoying a glass of sangria in the Azores and Canary Islands. In 2014, after making our first Atlantic Ocean crossing from Miami to Horta (Faial), we got to talking about an aluminum boat that could one day take us to the Arctic. We had high hopes, and lots of delusions, that we could complete a 9 month full refit on this hunk of metal that had been abandoned in Southern Florida for 10 years. 2.5 years after moving her from storage to the work yard (and that was after crossing BACK across the Atlantic to return on our first cruising boat to Florida), we did splash the Alu boat and head out for a grand adventure. Completing our goal of sailing her into the Arctic Circle, we had been wintering over in the UK when we decided to escape the cold for a few weeks and take advantage of incredibly cheap flights to Tenerife. Think $140 round trip. Sitting in a Montaditos, we discussed how poor the aluminum boat was at sailing, and how much we missed the performance cruiser of our previous Sabre. But...multihulls were the future, and honestly, I was tired of getting seasick from every passage we went on. Mart had hopes for another refit, but I was adamant that the kind of time and effort we'd have to dedicate would be much better spent on a new build. We researched home builds and were eventually contacted by Max Cruise in the process. Once again delusions took over as we thought we could complete this build in 2 years. As you can see, we're already well past that, with at least another year on the horizon. Would I change ANYTHING about the steps we've taken in the past or where it has lead us now? Absolutely not. This is exactly where I'm supposed to be in my life, and when this catamaran does hit the water, I know I'll be filled with nothing but pride and joy. 🤩⛵
Giorno 41 - Traversata del MEDITERRANEO Armati di buone intenzioni, mettiamo la sveglia alle 7:00 in punto e proprio come degli alpini allenati ci tiriamo su in orario. Non si sa come Non si sa perché Partiamo alle 9:00 😂 Insieme a noi partono Chris e Maria, i due ragazzi canadesi conosciuti in Sicilia che faranno prua su Ibiza. Noi invece vogliamo baciar la terra spagnola quanto prima, quindi facciamo rotta su Minorca. Dopo forse 30 miglia Gigi, il nostro amato e instancabile autopilota, decide che è arrivato il momento di indire uno sciopero nazionale (per lui ogni barca è nazione) e di smettere di lavorare. Dai Gigi non fare scherzi, ci aspettano ancora 170 miglia, non è proprio il momento di scioperare. Niente. Tra di voi c’è un esperto in negoziazione? Perché noi non siamo molto avvezzi alla comunicazione con le AI e conosciamo solo il linguaggio dello spegni e riaccendi. Dopo un po’ torna a funzionare. Ma appena ci distraiamo, via. Gigi da forfait. Benissimo, e adesso? Adesso i turni si faranno più serrati e soprattutto ci inventeremo dei modi per rendere più ergonomica una postazione perfetta per i marinai, ovvero pratica per veleggiare con il vento e poco avvezza allle comodità. Non vogliatemene, marinai. Ad ogni modo, il tempo scorre veloce su Julia, il vento è debole e per la prima parte del viaggio ci impegniamo a correre verso mari dove soffia con più convinzione. Cosa potrà mai succedere? Lo vedremo nel prossimo reel 😉 A presto! Camilla #barcavela #barcaavela #viaggioinbarca #vivereinbarca #vitainbarca #traversatadelmediterraneo #traversata #top
