One meter of water in the boat
Today, after almost three years of sailing, I finally met fellow sailor Holly on Gecko in person — here in Lombok, where we're both preparing for the same route from Indonesia to South Africa.
We'd been in contact online for a while. Same type of boat. Same dream. And sinds many months, the same location; Medana Bay Marina in Lombok.
But the circumstances were heartbreaking.
After being away for a year, she returned to find her boat with almost a meter of water inside. Batteries gone. Engine damaged. Tools ruined. Cushions soaked.
Everything that represents months — years — of work, love, and life.
The sailing community knows what lives inside these boats. It's not just gear. It's the dream.
If you want to support Holly, encourage her, or simply let her know she's not alone — drop something via her instagram @boatlizard or find her on Patreon: patreon.com/windhippie
She's going to need the community right now 💕
