Week 2: Sailing Across the Pacific Ocean – The Good, The Bad & The Mundane
In our previous episode, we tackled the remainder of our to-do list before embarking on our epic voyage across the Pacific Ocean towards the Marquesas Islands. This week, join us as we share our experiences, challenges, and memorable moments during Week 2 of this incredible journey. The Good As we set sail, we were greeted by an exciting surprise – pilot whales swimming alongside our boat! It was an incredible way to end the day and uplift our spirits after facing some challenges. In addition, the sea state calmed down considerably during a beautiful afternoon, allowing us to sit back and enjoy the peacefulness of our surroundings. The Bad Despite the picturesque moments, we encountered several obstacles throughout Week 2. First, we faced a series of squalls with thunder, lightning, wind, rain, and waves, making sailing quite challenging during our night shifts. Additionally, our home enclosure sustained damage, requiring us to spend five hours hand-stitching it back together. The Mundane Life at sea may seem glamorous from afar, but it consists of daily chores and tasks to maintain our vessel and provisions. We performed a produce inspection every other day to ensure we consumed the ripe fruits before they spoiled. We also dealt with bird poop on our deck during the night and discovered our port engine had broken down due to wear and tear. Equator Crossing Night Crossing the equator marks a significant milestone for sailors, known as becomingHolly and Ray Lastest Videos
