Wahine is leaving her home of nearly ten years and on Valentines Day she said goodbye to past crew and friends.. She seemed to take it in good grace but the skipper was a tad emotional! Also this week was my last work out at the UFC Gym, sailing with the news sails, testing the storm jib and more.
So now it is working long hours everyday getting ready to leave Feb 28th. Much to do including a second inspection after the life raft arrives for my permit to sail offshore.
Season 3: the Voyage will premier on my Birthday March 20th. In the meantime will keep posting these weekly video updates.
Enjoy.
