Family of Six Sailing Across The Pacific Ocean: PART TWO | Sailing with Six | S3 E4
Hold on tight for squalls, sunshine, and a surprise visitor! This week on Sailing with Six, we're one week into our epic Pacific crossing and the adventure keeps rolling.
We battled the wild ITCZ, dodging storms and getting a taste of the ocean's power with a surprise gust (phew, we got it under control!). Meanwhile, our trusty diesel tank leak is holding steady thanks to our at-sea repairs.
But it's not all repairs and rough seas! We celebrated Finn's 12th birthday in style and hit a HUGE milestone - we're officially halfway across! Time for another round of celebrations!
As the weather clears, we dust off Big Red, our trusty parasailor, ready for some high-flying fun. But before we launch, guess who shows up? A helicopter out of nowhere for a surprise mid-ocean visit!
Set sail with us and see what adventure awaits next!
