SHOULD WE RUN THE HORMUZ GAUNLET? And Portofino 52 Update...

After waiting over 3 years for our dream expedition catamaran… everything has come to a halt. Our custom-built Portofino 52 aluminium expedition catamaran—designed from scratch for our future life at sea—is now stuck in Dubai due to ongoing conflict and global shipping disruptions. We’ve already lost two sailing seasons… and now we’re being told it could be another 6+ months before we can sail the boat!. In last weeks episode we discussed our options: 👉 Do we keep waiting? 👉 Do we patch together short-term sailing? 👉 Or do we take a huge financial risk… and buy another boat? Your feedback was amazing - new ideas like long term rental of boats AND teh suggestion from several that WE SHOULD RUN THE GAUNLET OF THE STRAITS OF HORMUZ to get our Portofino out!!! We discussed lots more details about the road transport issues, the options for completing the boat in Fugairah and more pros and cons for each option.... This isn’t just emotional—it’s a life-changing financial and lifestyle decision. We are looking to have all our viewers vote on which option we should take now including RUN THORUGH THE HORMUZ STRAITS risking both Iranian and American bombs! Your advice could genuinely shape what we do next so we want everyone to vote on the 4 options, just leaving the number that they recommend - 1- Wait 2. Patch it up 3. Buy another boat 4. Run the Hormuz Gauntlet!. 👇 Comment below with your vote -1, 2, , or 4 👇 —
