A Season of Preparation
After months of projects, planning, and preparation, we're finally ready. Joy and grief in one hand, the wheel in the other. Remedy is ready for her biggest adventure yet—an Atlantic crossing to Europe. We're sitting in Beaufort, NC, waiting on our weather window. Bermuda is first. Ireland is the goal.
People, Places, and Passages
We swam with dolphins, fended off a shark with a GoPro, watched a rocket explode over the Bahamas, and sailed 600 miles home. Another season aboard Remedy in the Bahamas is in the books—and there was truly never a dull moment.
Snakes, Sharks, & Sailing
One evening, we sat on the bow watching the sunset when we noticed the water stirring just ahead of us. Suddenly, fish began flying through the air. We grabbed our binoculars—that's when we realized dolphins were flinging fish back and forth, right to left, left to right, for well over thirty minutes. It was a rousing game, for the dolphins at least, and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
From Grenada to Georgia
The sail to Puerto Rico was … sporty! The mainsail was triple-reefed due to a tear along the luff, and we faced sustained winds of 30-40 knots with 8-12 foot seas for the first three to four days. On top of all of that, we were still learning our boat with all her quirks, systems, and needs.
