It was our first passage with just 2 people on board, and we were initially nervous if we would be able to handle the boat and get enough rest. This video is an attempt to bring you along for the journey - for a change, I decided not to use any music or voiceovers, relying on the sounds of the sea and hoping for a more immersive experience. Some shots are long - the editing is slower than usual, reflective of the pace of life on a voyage like this. When sailing, you are forced to be patient, and the wandering of the mind is its own reward. There is no high drama in this chapter of the story - we had good weather and a pleasant trip. We flew various different sails, including our new (second hand) spinnaker, and I had to do some woodworking in the cockpit.
