CROSSING the EQUATOR! | Adrift in the Pacific doldrums! [Ep86 RED SEAS]

We are into our second week of our Pacific Crossing now and things are getting exciting. We sail across the Equator and celebrate our status changing to Shellbacks with a quick swim before sunset. We spend most of the week chasing the dying winds and wondering when we’ll reach the end of the doldrums, but trade winds are coming! We miss out on Galapagos but Galapagos comes to us when it sends a huge pod of whales our way. It’s good to be out on the ocean!

We have a habit of finding ourselves in the most unusual circumstances, but that’s what makes life interesting! We love to travel, we love the sea and we love sharing inspiring stories about inspiring people.
