Wet, Exhausted & Hanging On - 50 Knot Caribbean Storm | Day 13 & 14
Day 13 & 14 of our offshore passage from the USA to Colombia…
After days at sea, the weather forecast suddenly shifts for the worse. What was meant to be manageable conditions turns into a long-lasting storm stretching across the entire Caribbean Sea — leaving us with nowhere to run and no way around it.
With 50 knot gusts, massive swell, waves breaking over the boat, and almost no chance to properly rest, the boys take turns steering through the chaos before collapsing into the cockpit completely soaked between watches.
This is the raw reality of offshore sailing when the ocean decides otherwise.

⛵ Support / GoFundMe (HeadSail replacement):
After our headsail failed during this passage, a lot of you asked how you could help. We’ve set up a fundraiser to go directly toward replacing the sail and getting Escapade safely moving again.
