Dodging PIRATE waters: 5 day crossing over VENEZUELA coast | Part 1 | Ep 53 | Sailing Merewether

This week we leave Grenada and our beloved windward islands, that's been our home for the last 10 months (!!), and we set sail for the five day long journey to Curacao. Hard to believe that we've been in the Caribbean for almost a year, but with all that has happen this year around the world, we feel very fortunate to have had the luxury and the privilege to sail around all these beautiful islands with our Covid-family. As we set sail Kieran can't keep the excitement inside, truly enjoying sailing again and being one with the sailboat. I (Isabelle) is feeling very emotional, my sister had some major news and a reflection about our dream life and missing out on family and friends come into play... Our biggest issue on longer passage; the autopilot, finally does he's job! A huge relief when we don't have to turn on the engine to charge the batteries, our 4 new solur panels and wind vane is working a treat! No more hand steering in the middle of the night! Join our crew! We are looking for new crew to join in the future journey. Sign up to be one of our patrons for a good chance at joining us on our journey around the world. https://www.patreon.com/SailingMerewether Instagram https://www.instagram.com/sailingmerewether https://www.instagram.com/kieranwyse https://www.instagram.com/neeisabelle Facebook https://www.facebook.com/sailingmerewether Sponsors and Mates UK Sailmakers - https://www.uksailmakers.com True Headings - https://trueheading.se
