Happy New Year and Start of the World Arc
What a difference a year makes! Last year after finishing our transatlantic crossing with the ARC 2023, we had a long list of boat issues to resolve and we felt very overwhelmed. We were wondering what we had gotten ourselves into. Ultimately we decided to delay our circumnavigation and today after living onboard for close to 18 months we handle most challenges with better grace and we feel much better prepared , particularly mentally.

Best wishes for happy sailing in 2025! I love reading the beautifully written stories that you three are giving to all of us vicarious adventurers.
Wishing you all a Happy New Year ! Love seeing your photos and following your journey. Seth has grown so much!
Such an amazing adventure for everyone! I hope this next leg is smooth sailing. Still dreaming of meeting you along the way… where will you be in April? :) Miss you!!

Have a great sail to Panama! That's usually a fast passage with large swell alongside South America. Enjoy!
Happy New Yearb Sounds like you are having a wonderful time
