my sailboat took on water underway! terrified I wouldn’t make it… [Ep 178]
I left the beautiful island of Makatea at sunset, threw the spinnaker up, and was ready for a peaceful 36 hour downwind sail. The boat had other plans. At midnight, the spinnaker halyard chafed and the sock got stuck. At 5:30 am, I did a routine check, only to find the boat flooded with saltwater.
Give a little extra support 💞 The circumnavigation is JUST beginning… all of your help goes towards more gear to make the videos a bit better and the boat safer and more functional for myself as a single hand (and maybe an extra treat for Mako)

Lauren Landers
I am just a girl who followed her dream of buying a sailboat to sail the world! I took the advice my dad gave me "Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life” and try to live this to the fullest every single day. I graduated college during Covid-19 with a marine biology degree and 100T Captain license. I had worked as a captain throughout college on power boats and was invited to sail with some friends in the Bahamas for a couple months. I fell in love with sailing and this lifestyle more than I thought I could; bought my boat a year later (Dec 2021) intending to charter, but decided to start sharing this beautiful life with you❤️
