    Give a little extra support 💞 The circumnavigation is JUST beginning... all of your help goes towards more gear to make the videos a bit better and the boat safer and more functional for myself as a single hand (and maybe an extra treat for Mako)

    Of course, you know where you're going, it's wherever your bow is pointing. Mako looks like he is having a chill day. Someone after my own heart, French press coffee. What a way to start the day. It's always a good day to have clean laundry. Really cool machine. Glad it worked out for you. It also sounds like your water maker is working great too. Love seeing that smile on your face. That type of sailing is cleansing for the soul. Fair winds and following seas, Lauren...

Gosh is it fun to watch Mako and what pretty furry pattern and color. You have such a beautiful body and very pretty face. That's what I hear about the Bahamas that they are a favorite of many people and sailors. Hope you find your sir Galahad somewhere down the water way or roadway. I guess you know that Dolphins can Corral a shark and do what they want with it. They're much smarter and can swim much faster. Well I guess I'll sign off here honey and catch you next time.❤❤❤

    Another great video. Those dolphins loved seeing you and your video reminds us why we need to take better care of our oceans. I can't believe you would even get in the water with the tiger shark anywhere near you. Back when I was able to swim in the ocean, I exited immediately when a large tiger was in the area. I'm more afraid of them than a great white. I really admire your abilities and can't believe someone as young as you is so mature and capable. There are a few million young single adults who need to watch and learn from you. Safe travels Lauren

    Single-handed island hoping is the perfect title and the best plan. You continue to impress me with your brilliance and ability to adopt to changing situations. There are three hurricanes heading your way. I can tell you that the best Caribbean sailors sail away from the hurricane belt in August and September. It's better in the Caribbean islands but not during hurricane season. If you will purchase a cheap inverter generator all of your plans will be safer and more sustainable. Total dependence on solar power not bullet proof. You are always in my prayers and at the top of my most likely to succeed list.

    The Bahamas is the most peaceful and protected place you will ever sail. But the Caribbean is magic that can't be explained. When you arrive in the Caribbean Islands you will connect with global sailing community with boats and sailors from all over the world heading in every direction. There are no bugs, air conditioners, and few docks. The Caribbean islands are an anchor community living on the hook. There is 15 knots or more of wind from the same direction (SE) every day. In the British Virgin Islands you will find 50 protected anchorages. The open sea is rough all the time. It's the sailing capital of the world and some of the best diving you will find anywhere. Getting there is the tough part. It's into the wind and ocean current all the way to Puerto Rico. Keep your fuel tanks full. And your head high as always. I will miss your extraordinary coverage of the Bahamas. No one has ever shown the Bahamas as well as you have.
