Just as we were about to set sail here in Greece from the island Poros, our wind sensor suddenly stopped working. No wind direction, no wind speed. Not ideal when you're navigating open waters. Maybe it had been a bird? Or sun and salt damage? Or just one strong gust too many. Whatever the cause, I had to climb up the mast, attached to a line and helped with a winch. And ofcourse the new windmeter! So up I went — 22 meters high at the top of our catamaran’s mast and the camera rolling! I filmed the whole thing. Because this moment captures what it means to be a Digital Nomad: 🔹 Being ready to improvise 🔹 Making decisions to set clear couse again 🔹 Trusting your preparation, your partner and yourself 🔹 And staying calm, even with a shaky view ➡️ Want to see what it looks like up the mast, installing a new windmeter? 📹 Watch the video!

Gusty winds returning from the Little Choptank river forced us to put two reefs into the main but that did not slow us down. We cruised home to Solomons averaging 8 knots and hitting 9.5+ knots in the gust. It was a great sail and allowed us to iron the wrinkle out. :)

Yesterday’s sail started off rough – choppy waves and headwinds all the way to Bilbao. Luckily, we weren’t the only fools who thought it was a good day to go sailing 😅 With the mainsail up for balance and the engine doing most of the work, we powered through the swell. Eventually, things calmed down, and we found our groove again – talking, napping - some napping more than others 🤭 And then… we got a bite! 🎉 Our first fish! 🎉 It’s been a pricey one, though – Three lost lures and probably over 50 meters of line before we landed this beauty. Surely, they only get cheaper from here… right? We’re pretty sure it’s a type of mackerel, judging by the pattern – but what do you think? 🐟👇 Let us know in the comments! Music: Lisa Ono, Quien Sera
