We motor sailed almost the entire way due to lack of wind.
Seer has alot of sail area and it took quite a bit of wind to get
her moving. We all took turns at the helm, my favorite watch being in
the wee hours of the morning while it was still dark. When it was a
full moon you could see the planktin shimmering in the wake. I loved it !!
It was spiritual, the few hours before morn broke, my special quiet time.Watching
daybreak over a vast ocean was breath taking everyday!
All and all it was a great trip, great weather, topped off the freezer
with fresh tuna and mahi we had caught along the way and had our shellback
party at the equator.Chris was on the radio most the day calling K.M.I.
(ship to shore)
so we could all say hi to our families.
I was down below sleeping when the islands came into view only to be
awaken by screams of "Land Hooooooooo"!!!!Tripping over myself to get on
deck I gazed out at the most beautiful site I'd ever layed on eyes.
Past the reef into the blue/green lagoons up to the soft green majestic
mountains and with a faint hint of plumeria in the air, I knew I had
found my magic place, my engery source.....My Home!!!!
