The balance between survival and enjoyment. Between speed and comfort. Between pushing the boat forward and knowing when to simply slow things down. It is a constant dance between the sails, the wind and the ocean. We want Nandji 2 to be fast and efficient, but more importantly, we need to be safe, comfortable and keep things manageable. But when dealing with a confused four metre Atlantic Ocean, finding that balance becomes a little more challenging. After more than a week at sea, and 36 hours of heavier weather. Fatigue starts to creep in, and tasks that would normally feel simple, suddenly require a lot more effort. A simple sail change becomes a battle of thoughts in your mind. Knowing that if done, it will be beneficial, yet the voice eon your head relentlessly asks the question, can’t it wait…. And that’s the reality of life offshore. There are moments out here that feel almost dreamlike. Days where the ocean is calm, the sailing is effortless and you feel incredibly lucky to be exactly where you are. And then there are days like this. The kind where the ocean feels relentless, where sleep comes in broken pieces, and where simply moving around the boat takes more energy than it normally would. There’s simply nowhere to hide out here. You can’t escape the wind. You can’t escape the waves. And you certainly can’t escape the fatigue All you can really do is accept it and remind yourself that this rough patch will pass. Because just like the weather changes, so does the fatigue. Thankfully, Nandji 2 is a boat that knows how to look after us. She’s proven herself time and time again to be a capable and trustworthy passage maker. So for now, our job is pretty simple. Hang on. Rest when we can and let Nandji 2 do what she does best.
