Within the barefoot sailor community, there is a saying, that the upcoming lock in Brunsbüttel is the last lock before Panama Canal. In turn, today I passed the 2 last lock before Panama. While saying that, it‘s more an expression as only minority of sailors make it that far. We do not carry the courtesy flag of Panama on SY Hullu Poro.
Dropped the anchor ⚓️ near Maasholm. Tired. Shaft vibration issue got cleared and now 🤔…today is different. Why? The journey has started right now! 45 feet and 2 hands are up for another adventure. Heading over to the North Sea, slowly but firmly.
I like to quote Boris Herrmann: “It‘s an adventure and nobody knows the outcome.” This describes it very well – no more words needed.
Maximum preparation has been done over the last few years but at one point in time…you need to throw the lines! I have done that today with a very rewarding feeling and the support of my wife Susan. Thank you!
Taken from the mission statement: The mission will focus on going with the wind while enjoying time and its moments over and over again in constantly changing nature. The moment – and not the journey – will be the reward.
