69 - How To Pull Off A Mid-Ocean Meet Up
Out Chasing Stars
Welcome to Out Chasing Stars! We're Admiral Amy and Captain David and we're currently exploring the world on s/v Starry Horizons, our Fountaine Pajot Helia 44 catamaran. We started out (nervously!) watching our boat get launched in La Rochelle, France in October of 2014. Since then we've completed an entire world circumnavigation, sailing over 37,000nm, and documented it all here on YouTube. We started making these videos to show our family and friends what life was like on a sailboat, and we're still amazed that other people have also started following along. It's been so much fun to share our adventures and we love reading all the comments and support! There's a lot of world left to see so don't forget to check back in and subscribe! You can check out our blog: www.outchasingstars.com And of course, we're also on Facebook and Instagram: https://www.facebook.com/outchasingstars/ https://www.instagram.com/outchasingstars/

What do you do when you’re sailing east and your good friends are sailing past you going west? Meet up in the middle of the ocean of course! We couldn’t pass up the opportunity to hang out with our good friends Lewis and Alyssa from s/v Quixotic as you never know when or where your paths might cross again. Quixotic was set adrift as we all gathered on Starry Horizons for drinks and snacks. Fortunately, no one commandeered Quixotic in the meantime and we all ended up with an awesome story to tell!
I suppose I’m getting ahead of myself though, as before we could meet up with Lewis and Alyssa, we had to clear into Fiji and run lots of errands. We (finally!) managed to pick up new battens for our mainsail and took a quick flight to Suva in order to complete all the requirements for our Australian long stay visas. Gotta finish work before play right???
Thanks for watching!
