Suffering make people more human, because everything is so numb and safe nowadays. Enjoy every second for us, we will be coach saling with you. We might even try the same some day, because you tried and finished your goal .. Thats the beauty of sailing, unavoidable suffering brings utmost pleasure when things go right!

This reminds me of a 6 week trip from the Solomons to Fiji - against very light trade winds and massive swells. I was so sick of the boat and the daily nothingness that my diary of those weeks is still boring me shitless - on land, years later! Mind you, at the moment I would give a lot to be able to cruise around for just a day. Or two. in the swell and heat. so can you do this for me: Enjoy one day just for anne. And then the next one you can get back to being annoyed about being almost immobile! Thanks heaps. I feel more relaxed already! Kia Kaha Hang in there, mate!

You're welcome anytime I'm planning on making my first trip to Vancouver in a week or so. maybe I'll see you there. Well that sucks… weathers nice up here in BC, wind warm (enough) and still no rain.

Then, I read this and a few other ocean adventure blogs and I think, "No, no. It's not like that at all. You can't be right." Thanks for doing what you are doing and for sharing it with the world. Despite the heat, humidity, and calm seas, I still want to try it.
