The Azores

Memories from the Azores As I sit here trying to recall the memories of our stay thus far, I am struggling to remember the day that we arrived – actually, Im struggling to remember what day it is today, and this has been the case since we left. It almost feels as though the calendarContinue reading “The Azores”

Lessons Learned leg 2

Lessons Learned… As I sit writing this we are 187 miles from Horta and in the final 24 hours of the 2nd leg of the crossing.  Having a bit more “water” behind us than in front of us, we have had a chance to reflect on things we did “right” and things we may haveContinue reading “Lessons Learned leg 2”

The Hero’s Journey

The Hero’s Journey As I write this, we have just passed the mid-way point in our quest to cross the Atlantic. At this relative waypoint, any issues that arise will result in us continuing to the destination (Horta, the Azores) rather than turning back to Bermuda. It is the same in the airplane. Every flightContinue reading “The Hero’s Journey”

Tracking the Gratitude

Hi Everyone: In response to numerous requests to track us crossing, we are going to TRY to get a link up here that will work for this purpose.  People who know us will appreciate that this is NOT at all a strength that either of us possess.  Each of us would rather do just aboutContinue reading “Tracking the Gratitude”

We’re OFF!!!!!

The below post was written in the first few days.  We have arrived safely in Bermuda  and had a lovely crossing.  There were 3/5 days that we incredible and smooth and 2 which were a bit lumpy -all good though – nothing like losing a couple of pounds and I didn’t even have to exerciseContinue reading “We’re OFF!!!!!”

Death of 1,000 Tiny Cuts

Recently while enjoying dinner with friends the subject of this adventure came up. As I shared with my girlfriend the stress that Alec and I have been under she queried the reason for it. I told her that I have been trying very hard to identify the cause myself- and what I have determined wasContinue reading “Death of 1,000 Tiny Cuts”

T minus 8 weeks….

T Minus 8 weeks and counting….. Yesterday marked 8 weeks until departure. Yes, that was a sentence that should stand alone because I can barely get my head around the idea that has been 7 years in the dreaming and planning stage and is now a mere 8 weeks away from its beginning. Of course,Continue reading “T minus 8 weeks….”

The Plan for the Off Season

So, we are back “home” in Stuart and settling into our land life for the next 6 months, and Gratitude is at the Spa in Old Port Cove. Actually, I call it the spa, Alec calls it the Doctor and as any good “Father” would, he travels back and forth daily to check on herContinue reading “The Plan for the Off Season”

Deltaville-?????

Wrap up for Summer 2018 As we wrap up this summer’s cruise, Im reminded of an adage commonly told to new and inexperienced student pilots: “All new pilots begin flying with an empty bag of experience and a full bag of luck, the object of this game is to fill up your bag of experienceContinue reading “Deltaville-?????”
