Pacific JOYS of ocean CRUISING life | Ep 82 | Sailing Merewether

This week our Pacific crossing continues on a little happier note, we sail through the Galapagos Islands and go for a proper swim in the ocean. After beating into it for over four days, unable to have showers, cook properly we finally reach the tradewinds and boy are we happy! Life on the ocean continues at 60 degrees to the wind, the sun comes out and we finally spot the Islands 800NM off the cost of Ecuadore, the Galapagos Islands. We lose the wind just as we approach Isla Isabela, but we don't mind, as we turn on the engine we slowly glide past the beautiful scenery. I spot jumping stingrays and egger to capture them on film, I feel like Attenborough's assistant (heh). I fail, but manage to film another highly fascinated creature with the camera... Kieran decides it's time for a real swim and jumps in the water when Merewether is still sailing. I join, a bit hesitant at first. It's cold but oh so fresh. We make a new friend, Gary the bird. He sat on the bow and hitched a ride with us for more than 300NM, day and night. One day he was just gone. Gary if you read this, we miss you and hope you and the fam is well. Feeling happy on the ocean again! We are loving life. Pacific Ocean crossing feels like a piece of cake now:) Part 4 coming up! Join our crew! We are looking for new crew to join in the future journey.
