OUR FIRST TIME SAILING OUR 47FT KETCH | PAGO PAGO HARBOR, AMERICAN SAMOA | SOUTH PACIFIC SAILING

WE ARE FINALLY TAKING OUR SAILBOAT OUT!

It was a long time coming (9 months since we bought the boat and 6 months since we moved on), but we finally felt like our 47-foot Skookum Tradewinds Ketch was ready for a sea trial.

The preparations were intense. Over the past months, we've been replacing and updated electrical systems and navigation systems, resealing leaking decks and port holes, and figuring out how to live aboard a sailboat. To get ready to take her out, we then had to transition from floating home to sea worthy sailboat. We had to make sure everything was either stored away or secured and that we were all mentally ready to take our house into the middle of the south pacific ocean.

But we did it!! With the help of our friends, Mike and Tami, we sailed our boat for the very first time! It was exhilarating and fun and a complete success.

We're so grateful to everyone who have helped us reach this point and to all of you for cheering us on along the way.
