One of the most surprising aspects of living on our 30 foot sailboat and sailing off-grid as often as possible is the amount of time it takes to do even the simplest tasks like washing our dishes.

Regulations are changing daily in the fight against Coronavirus in Panama. We receive word that our shipping agent will be shut down indefinitely, so we can’t get our air filter.

The day has finally come to pull our masts, and we’ve got a LOT of work to do to get Atticus ready. We remove the main and mizzen sails and booms and loosen up our standing rigging.
