To the people of Hawai‘i, mahalo nui loa for welcoming me with more warmth, kindness, and aloha than I ever could have imagined. I’m deeply grateful to be a guest on your beautiful island of O‘ahu. To the Waikīkī Yacht Club, thank you for putting together such an incredible welcome on such short notice. I have no idea how you pulled it off so quickly, but I’m blown away by the energy, generosity, and superhuman effort from your entire team. The last five days have felt like a dream. I’ve felt so much love from this community. Yes, I’m awkward. Yes, there were uncomfortable moments. But my appreciation for all of you is stronger than my fear of discomfort. So here’s to many more slightly uncomfortable (but unforgettable) moments to come, lol. For 365 days straight, I worked on this boat, learned to sail, and shared the journey on social media every single day. A grind only a few will ever truly understand. So it’s been nice to take a breath, step back, and just be here for a minute. I’ll take a few more days off, but this is what I love to do. And id love nothing more but to take the world around the world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
