Caribbean season has come to an end and we are now leaving for a new adventure in the mediterranean sea.
As soon as we left St Barth in the morning...
Wind was mounting from 12 to 30 kt, the sea was growing too and in the late afternoon we started surfing. We flew all night. No matter if raising the bow up and starting the surf is not easy on Cape Arrow, we’ve reached 23,8 kt top speed…what a thrill (312 miles in 24 hours)
This morning a cold front surprised us and after a quick jibe with 35kt and 5 meters wave we’ve steered our course through Horta Island...155 miles to the destination, only 180 more than the direct course!
These are the special moments that make me realise why I do it.
Every time, I ask myself what am I doing again in the middle of the sea concerned for the boat and the crew, then I stop and look around for a while…and I figure out that I know the answer: I’m lucky, I do what I love and I’m sailing with the best crew ever.
