Sailing the Pacific Ocean - 36 days at sea | Sailing Inspire Ep36

The Pacific Ocean Crossing - 36 days, out in one of the biggest ocean in the world done and dusted and it was just the two of us, here is a bit of a taste of our experience. 4130NM travelled, 864 hours of sailing & watching the ocean go by, over 700 litres of fuel burned, 900 litres of water utilised, 2 lines chaffed, 1 d-shackle broke, ripped spinnaker, over 100 squid & flying fish came to say hello, 4 fish got away, 2 fish landed, no more than 2 hours sleep at one time, biggest sea was 4M and our strongest wind 30knots. We went from big seas to sunny days, lightning storms to rain squalls, strong winds to a calm breeze, banging and crashing waves all around to a millpond ocean. This has been one of the most mentally challenging things we have done in our life to date. Some days you feel like jumping off the side of the boat to get off the roller coaster ride that does not stop or you just want to curl up and hide in a dark corner away from all the banging and crashing, but most days you are sitting on top of the world. The sun is shinning, vibes are high and you can't wipe the smile off your face. Being out at sea for this long has been one of those experiences that pushes you to become better and you find out how strong you really can be ? The last 1000NM we had extremely light variable winds, trying to keep Inspire moving at a steady pace above 4 knots with hardly any fuel left onboard meant many sleepless nights making sail change trying to stop the sails from flapping about while we waited for wind.... the frustrations were real! Your mind is a powerful tool, focusing on achieving our challenge, sailing Inspire into our home waters the South Pacific and that feeling of accomplishment after stepping foot onto a tropical island after days at sea has kept us super positive throughout the whole sail. Would we do it again? Who knows... but what I do know is that we are super proud we have done it!
