Every so often it his us. The trigger can be mundane or momentous. With feet in a bucket of soapy laundry, surrounded by the crystal clear waters of a tropical anchorage. Or watching the faintest outline of a moonlit island rise out of the seemingly endless ocean. And for a fleeting instant one of us feels it and has to share. The emotion is profound yet playful, passing yet ever present… and sharing it always makes us smile.
Every so often it hits us.
We live on a boat.
Land-ho.
Congratulations, you did it.
You sailed perfectly, fast and safe across the world’s largest ocean. Thank you captain Jon who was in charge. A tear of joy came when we saw the message that you had arrived and anchored by Fatu Hiva. Good job all crew of 4.
