Our WORST PASSAGE Yet - 1100NM to NEW ZEALAND (74)
This week our family is sailing from Tonga to New Zealand. This passage is known to be a difficult one and it’s living up to its reputation. We are starting out the passage worrying about boat damage from the whale collision and we are low on food AND fuel. The weather isn’t doing us any favors either.
Thank you for watching and subscribing. You don’t know how much we appreciate it!
To God be the glory!
