Our first multi-day passage from Isla Mujeres to Biscayne Bay, Florida. Episode 14 #cruisinglife

Join us for our first multi-day passage as we travel from Isla Mujeres to Biscayne Bay, Florida. We planned and planned, and watched weather models and routing patterns for weeks. Deciding when to make a crossing that every cruiser told us is usually terrible, is a challenge at best. Our obsessive hovering over the Predict Wind and Windy weather forecasts left us unsure at best. We conferred with friends, and no one could agree and what exactly would be the best chance for a comfortable crossing. Predict Wind finally had all the models in pretty solid agreement, and we set off knowing day one would be rough, but the next three days looked great, so the choice was made. We learned a few things over our four day crossing...weather predicting models cannot be trusted, things will break, the highs are really high and the lows are really low. The uncertainty is all part of the lifestyle, but we wouldn't choose any other path. https://sailingroam.com/ ?More about us, our adventures, and how we do all this on our website.

A couple travelers out chasing the horizon, meeting the people, and capturing it to share with you. We've chosen to Roam the world by boat because, let's face it, the most interesting path is rarely a straight line. As we learn to let go of our American drive to finish, and embrace the meandering routes across islands, oceans, continents, and people, we hope to gain a better sense of our world and our place in it. The path won't always be comfortable or easy to find but, it will always #roam Here's an index of the video in case you want to see something specific: 00:00 Logo Splash 00:18 Planning when to go 01:56 Prep zone 04:26 Raise the anchor, it's time to go 07:13 Sails up! 07:46 Things started rough 09:00 Dolphin escort 09:14 Full moon sailing 09:22 Things when downhill from there 11:23 Geri suggests trying the spinnaker for the first time 13:52 Spinnaker success! 14:23 Arrival in Biscayne Bay 14:42 Don't forget to like and subscribe 14:51 Subscribe and binge from the beginning ----------------------------------------------------------- #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #nautitech #yachtlife #sailingroam #liveaboardlife #cruisinglife #islamujeres #jetstream #biscaynebay © Sailing Roam 2023
