PREPARING to CROSS THE PACIFIC on a SAILBOAT - Installing our DOWNWIND SAIL & Rainman watermaker FIX
It’s crazy this week, just chaos! We are in Puerto Rico preparing for the biggest sail of our LIVES and we don’t even have a downwind sail rigged. And crossing the Pacific is mostly DOWNWIND!
We climb the mast for the first time ever – and it’s our 10 year old that makes it to the top and gets the job done. We have provisions GALORE and we still need more.
Daniel completes the fix that Rainman sent for our watermaker. And he gets started on installing a winch, blocks and padeyes for our parasail.
Thank you for watching! To God be the glory!
