We continue our 5 day crossing from Grenada to Curacao. On our 3rd day right at the time when you start to wind down and the sun sets, our furling system breaks (again!). I have to hoist Kieran up the mast while the waves threw the boat all over the place. He put in new grub screws and pieced the furling system back together 7 meters up in the air, safe to say I was a bit on edge.
Still dodging pirate waters off the Venezuela cost, we got a scare on the 4th night as a tanker ship suddenly appears on our port side, the Venezuelan side… He looked to be going the same path as us and then suddenly stopped. We were not so cocky at this point. He continued his path after what felt like hours and we had the waters to ourselves again.
Despite all this, we have never been more prepared for a longer crossing before, it was the best one yet! Being just us two we finally worked out a good shift schedule and sleeping routine, we felt more ready then ever to take on the big Pacific crossing in the coming months.
