Thanks!!! I appreciate the info. We enjoy you guys so much.

It serves two purposes. First off it gives us an account of the trending weather, wind, sail configuration, etc. so we can look back and confirm weather trends with the forecast. Sometimes the pressure systems and winds arrive early or later than the forecast, and this helps us to see how closely what we see is aligning with what the forecast says. Also, if we have a sudden loss of navigation then we have a good position report that is fairly recent from which we can estimate our position based on speed and course (dead recockoning). Must mostly it's a lot of fun! We have logs going back years and years from all our big passages and the crew writes funny jokes to the next watch, messages, drawings, and all that good stuff. It's a cool tradition :)

Why do you keep the log?

Definitely represents the ebb and flow of passages in general, some days full of energy and silliness, some days exciting and some boring…so glad you’re enjoying this series!

She’s a natural 😉

So crazy right! We’ve seen lots of sharks diving obviously and even on anchor, but never spotted one mid passage like this before 🤯

Coming soon in a few episodes! Little spoiler alert there are some adorable fairy/butterfly wings involved 🥹and it’s Hannah’s first equator crossing and we definitely made her work harder for it than Sierra 😂

Capt. Dustin LaBorde

Happy America day !

Myra Slepoy

Every episode of this passage has its own special fun vibe and that is cool! Thanks for making my day, yet again. Cheers.

Gee, Kazaa did A great job of socking it despite not having much practice 😂

Colleen Balch

A beautiful of a week and all the kinds of fun! And jeepers! What a shark sighting, wish it held still long enough to see it from above.

Randa Caswell-Deen

Great video! Love all the shenanigans! And Brian, I'm with you... no way in hell I could eat that smelly squid, I was gaging as it was🤣. But my favorite was when you ran away calling Kazza's name! 😂

Lisa & Claude

Bill Dapp

I've been meaning to ask, how did you celebrate Sierra when she went from a PollyWog to a Shellback?
