Sailing Saoirse - Launch day! (EP 3)

On the 28th October 2019 we moved Saoirse from the spot that had been her home for 8 years, back to the ocean where she belonged. It was a long and super stressful day that we will always remember fondly. We decided to get her launched when we did, before she was complete because we wanted to start living the dream . We also had to head back to Ballito for 2-3 weeks for Teagan and Colben's wedding and we wanted her settled in our new home before leaving. Each step in this journey, from the day we signed for her, each day and night spent working on her and all the forward planning, has been important but this step just seemed to surpass everything up to this point. This day seemed to encompass every possible emotion, in trepidation, excitement, sheer terror but overwhelmingly, a real sense of accomplishment. The sudden realization that we finally owned a yacht that was on the ocean and the world was now our oyster - 7 years of dreaming and planning had finally come to fruition.
