After troubleshooting and trusting that the Hydro Vane will stay course, I spent the night sleeping in the cockpit, under the stars! It was so nice to be out in the open listening to the waves and hearing the rudder gurgle instead of trying to sleep below in the bowling alley!

This is what I’ve been waiting for. Being less at the wheel starring at the gps screen and more present in my surroundings, looking out on the horizon, petting the dolphins while they play beside the boat, looking for whales or just being…. It’s all starting to fall into shape❣️

  1. Oh Rika, this trip sounds even more amazing than I thought possible. It’s really outstanding and the posts are just really wonderful to read as we all watch the start of such an epic experience in this world. You have learned so much and also sound so confident and happy…. Truly amazing! I love the dolphin videos…says so much about what you are doing and seeing. Keep up the amazing journey my friend. πŸ’•πŸ™ Sharon
