King Eolo
Crossing the equator by boat in your own vessel is a huge deal. Not only is there the crossing itself (and teasing your kids that they should look for a line in the water), but there is the long-standing nautical tradition of being initiated from a Pollywog to a Shellback. Read more…
Land Ho!
After 1696 nautical miles and 236 hours (but who’s counting?!?), we made it to Grenada from Fortaleza! Read more…
