UPDATE ⬇️ New Crew Alert 🥰 — I have been dark on social media for a long time now and I am ready to reengage! Thank you for your patience while I took some space from the internet while I have been in New Zealand. On average I’d have my phone charged 1-3 days a week while I’ve been in New Zealand and it allowed me to put my full focus on fixing up Songbird, as well as investing in this new relationship with Lexi. When I got to New Zealand I was emotionally exhausted from the loneliness of the previous solo season and am so grateful I met Lexi over DMs where she offered to give me a ride from a bus stop in town back to Songbird. She has been a huge light in my life at this point in my circumnavigation and I’m so excited that she has jumped to sail north with me to Fiji and beyond! Since she is a new sailor, there are still some unknowns on if she will be able to thrive in the difficult conditions ocean sailors find themselves in but we are working hard together to give this the best shot we can. We will be sailing north to Fiji with the next weather window so wish us (and Lexi especially 😜) fair winds and following seas! This sail we are about to undertake is notorious for being heavy, difficult, and rough. Absolutely not ideal for the stomach of a new sailor but there is only one way north and that’s one mile at a time!
