After 24 days at sea and sailing more than 4,200nm we arrived in Nuku Hiva!
The feelings you get as you sight land on the horizon is hard to put into words. For a month there’s been nothing but an endless horizon bound by shades of blue and to finally see a green dot that grows larger over the hours is surreal.
As the peaks of Nuku Hiva grew larger so did the feelings of turning around heading back out to sea.
There’s something truly mesmerising about being on the ocean bound by Mother Nature free as a bird to sail in any direction you wish to point your bow.
We’ll spend a few days here recovering from the lack of sleep a passage like this causes and then we plan to head further south to the Tuamotos where we’ll find a remote atoll to hangout in for a month or so.
I’ll continue to update when we can and to share this magical lifestyle for all….. who knows we may inspire others to have the courage to loose sight of the land? Always remember it’s the journey not the destination.
Here’s some stats for the sailors out there.
We sailed 4,200nm
Top speed 18.9kts
Average speed 7.3kts
Daily average 175nm
Best 24hr run 220nm
