Google Map flyover of how we think the whole 6-month voyage will play out. Bookmark this page so that you can see how different plans are vs reality when it comes to sailing trips.

I get all mushed-mouth when I know I'm being recorded, so bear with me there.

The still photos didn't capture how the light played on the water, so I needed to add this 17-second video.

Ko narrates the map summary of our first passge.

We still have a lot to learn about the right sail plan for any given conditions, but on the morning of February 14, we nailed it and had some beautiful sailing. Forgive the terrible audio during the intro. Too much motor noise during the night watch.

Med Mooring is when you back up to a dock and tie your bow to mooring lines that connect to the bottom of the harbor out in front of the boat. There are no finger piers. You're just mashed in between other boats. This is how you have to get ashore.

Sailing close-hauled in 25 knots sustained in the middle of the night. Volume up for this one, if you can.

We had an eventful day passing from the Mediterranean into the Atlantic.

Easy sailing between Canary Islands and Cape Verde

It's the first night of what V has been calling "The Big Part" all winter. All is well, so I say that out loud, and then show you how I jibe the sails single handedly.

A short update after a good sailing day. Plus, how we generate power outside of using the motor or generator.

We have a long way to go, and we are becalmed.

The calmest day, but we took a swim, and that was a lot of fun.

I have all kinds of cool boat tour things left to show you guys. But I'm giving the amatuer hour video editing guy an easy night instead. But the add-on clip of the cat eating does end up being pretty funny, I think.

We're sailing pretty well tonight! Our talk is about a particular sail configuration for downwwind. Then, I throw in a few pictures from the day. None of humans, because we're not fit to be seen at this point.

I am delighted by a middle of the night visitor, and a tour of the port tech room, where we take seawater into the boat and distribute it to the places where it belongs. The last 2/3 of this one is pretty technical/geeky, so if boat systems aren't your thing, you can check out early without missing anything.

Sailing, but still not on a direct path to where we're going. A quick discussion of what it looks like when we encounter a ship on the high seas.

Faster and more direct sailing day. It would have been fun if we had done anything other than sit at the table and work.

Today was mega-frustrating, so this is just a short update about our travails and about a change to our travel plan.

A long one tonight. In addition to the regular update, we have a quick fish story, a tour of our switch panel (nerd alert), and 30 seconds of zen.

Still moving along. Bigger waves, and a little rolling. Let's see what else is on that big panel.

Just over 600 miles to go. I talk about the state of our pantry and show you our dinghy garage. Nice win by LSU Baseball tonight! That's a good way to pass 3 hours of night watch.
