With no wind and cold, still conditions, we relied mostly on the engine?so Floh gave our Volvo Penta a thorough check before departure. Wrapped in woolly hats and blankets, we settled into the rhythm of a quiet passage, keeping things moving with snacks, small chores, music, and laughter. But mid-passage, we noticed strange movement in the boom. The calm conditions had caused the sail to flop back and forth, shaking a few rivets loose in our in-boom furling system. Thankfully, Floh managed a clever DIY boom repair while underway, getting the sail functional again just in time for some actual wind. In the final stretch, Santana finally spread her wings, sailing beautifully through the Med. This is real sailing life?moments of calm, unexpected challenges, and the quiet joy of figuring things out as we go. If you're curious about the full-time cruising lifestyle, cold-weather sailing, or what it?s like to sail the Med in winter, this episode offers a true look at life on the water.

PAY PAL https://www.paypal.me/whitespotpirates **** Join me on an inspiring journey that began with buying and refitting my Reinke Super 10 sailboat called KARL. Facing the challenges of solo sailing as a female sailor, I navigated the highs and lows of single-handed sailing while tackling DIY boat repair projects, from engine fixes to full boat refits on a budget. My life aboard was a mix of adventure and reflection, shaping an independent woman?s story of resilience, personal growth, and embracing the sailing lifestyle. Along the way, I became an ocean conservation activist with In Mocean, stumbled across my dog Boga, and discovered the joys and challenges of sailing with a dog. Now, I?m exploring a new chapter, having jumped aboard my partner?s Hallberg Rassy Rasmus with Boga and his Australian Kelpie, Jango. Together, we face the unique dynamics and challenges of sailing as a couple, balancing off-grid life, sustainable sailing, and the demands of long-term cruising.
