Hur mycket hinner man egentligen uppleva under 4100 sjömil med en segelbåt, två vuxna och tre barn? Här kommer några siffror från vår segling över världens största hav: 🌊 1 liten squall med regn – men ingen åska 👨‍👩‍👦 2 vuxna 🧒 3 barn ombord 🕰️ 4,5 timmar flyttade vi bakåt i tiden när vi passerade tidszoner 🐟 6 fiskar fångade vi (1 makrill, 1 wahoo och 4 mahi mahi) 🎂 1 födelsedag firade vi till havs ⚙️ 48 timmar gick motorn under hela överfarten 🔋 3 timmar använde vi generatorn 🌙 30 nätter med nattpass och väckarklockan som styrde livet ⛵ 4100 sjömil seglade vi (ca 7600 km) Men bakom alla siffror finns så mycket mer. Många timmar av samtal i sittbrunnen. Många soluppgångar och solnedgångar. Många skratt, några tuffa stunder och minnen vi kommer bära med oss resten av livet ❤️ En överfart vi aldrig kommer glömma. Vilken siffra överraskade dig mest? 🌊 #segling #stillaHavet #långsegling #familjeliv #sailingfamily svensksegling

1. The phrase “feeling blue” originated at sea. When a ship lost its captain during a voyage, the sailors would sail blue flags, indicating their loss. Today, when you say you feel blue, you are feeling sad. 2. Sailing has been part of the Olympics since 1896. Except for the 1904 Summer Games, sailing has been included in all modern Olympic games. That makes it one of the longest running Olympic disciplines around. 3. Sailing around the world westward is more difficult than eastward. Most world-record contenders choose to sail eastward due to the stronger and more predictable winds and currents that push eastward in the Southern Hemisphere. 4. “He’s a loose cannon” is another phrase with sailing roots. The cannons on a ship could weigh up to 3,400 pounds. Just as a loose cannon could cause damage on ship, a person referred to as such may also create unwelcome situations. 5. The world-record sailing speed is 65.45 knots (121km/h). As of November 2012, the fastest sailing speed on record is held by Australian Paul Larsen. His specially designed Sailrocket 2 has an unconventional design meant for high-speed sailing.

These fish don't get to be over 40" without being SMART. This one took me under the boat in an attempt to get me caught in the running gear. We did manage to get her out to the stern to be netted. She was safely released unharmed.
