The wind in the sails is a relentless force. The waves build up and begin to foam, growling as they pass, and you feel the power of nature deep down in your stomach. It's not that we're unafraid of the storm; it’s that we're willing to face it anyway. We reef the sails, our hands clutching the ropes, muscles aching with effort, and bring the boat under control. We continue, not because we ignore the danger, but because we understand that sometimes, the most beautiful things in life are found beyond our fears. We know that beyond that fear lie the most breathtaking experiences: the sun setting over an endless ocean, the peaceful quiet of a starry night far from shore, and the thrill of catching the perfect breeze. These moments make every challenging journey worthwhile. Sailing teaches us that true courage isn’t about lacking fear; it’s about being willing to embrace the journey and face your fears. This is how we grow ❤️

We took Arabella to Boca Grande for a week to get some boat work done...but we had to spend some time adventuring, too. We paddle boarded over to Three Sisters Island, took Victoria out sailing (after repairing her transom), wandered around the "Old Florida" back roads, had lunch at the Pink Flamingo, and tried all the tasty treats! Even Akiva got to devour a "pup cup" from the local food truck... Want more? Watch the full episode - https://youtu.be/2S-qo288Nx8 -------------------------- Sign up for our email newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hn3Qyv Acorn to Arabella started as a wooden boat building project in Granby, Massachusetts. Steve began the journey as an amateur wooden boat builder crafting a 38' wooden sailboat in his backyard: designer William Atkin's Ingrid with a Stormy Petrel's gaff rig. These videos follow the journey from tree felling, to lumber milling, to lofting, to the lead keel pour and now sailing the boat—sharing details of the woodworking, carpentry, metal smithing, tool building, and tool maintenance that traditional wooden boats command. This ultimate DIY project continues beyond the boat shop, as Steve and crew travel and learn to cruise aboard the handmade wooden boat that they've built. Just kidding about all that, this channel is about a Siberian Laika named Akiva. -------------------------- If you are interested in supporting/helping here are a few ways: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/how-to-help Acorn to Arabella's wishlist: https://www.acorntoarabella.com/wishlistpriority TotalBoat supports A2A!
