Crossing on the High Seas: Experiences and Challenges
A shaky start “Alegría Marineros… My dream, your dream… heh, heh. This journey from Fakarava to the Gambier Islands is being tough, good training for what’s to come, as well as a valuable lesson or, rather, a reminder: controlling the sea and wind doesn’t give you much room for manoeuvre, especially on ocean crossings.” Navigation […]

Navigating tightly
