EXPECTATION vs. REALITY⛵️Sailing Across the Pacific Ocean
Join us for a short sail in the Marquesas Islands before sitting down to chat about the expectation vs. reality of our 27-day sail across the Pacific Ocean. 🐬 In this video, we discuss what went well and what we should’ve done differently to maximize our comfort and performance during our passage. We also talk about the changes this trip inspired us to make to our boat in the future!
