This is the sail we hope to never use. Ever. But like so many other safety measures, it gives us peace of mind just knowing it’s there. It’s a storm jib — 🧡bright orange🧡 so that if we ever do need it, visibility won’t be a problem (because that’s definitely a moment we’ll want to be seen). It’s designed to be set over our furling system where the genoa normally lives, so we don’t have to wrestle down a huge sail on deck in the middle of a storm. Just roll out the storm jib, and it’s ready ⛵️ No, we hadn’t seen one like it before either. But it makes a whole lot of sense now. Have you seen one like this before?

Waved goodbye to the people who anchored us. Our hearts were full as our beloved friends and family came to celebrate this moment and send us off. Tears, laughter, and the kind of love that lifts your sails. Eyes stinging but our dreams are unfolding — Aarhus behind us, the world ahead 🌍

We were limited in how much we could explore, for a few reasons: – We weren’t allowed to declare Anker, so he had to stay on board. – The forecast hinted at strong winds coming in… – …and we couldn’t risk being stuck, since we’re dropping off a crewmember on Friday. So, we made the most of it! Wandered the charming streets, soaked up the island’s calm and authentic vibe, and of course — ordered cider and fish n’ chips at the local pub. What more can you ask for? Guernsey, we’ll be back. Next time, with more time and a dog who’s allowed on land 🐶🌞 #sail #sailing #circumnavigation #shortoftheday #guernsey #explore #adventure #liveaboard #dog #cutedog
