Provisioning our boat now is an extremely different experience than while in Europe! Instead of struggling to find certain items (peanut butter) and hauling carts full of food back to the boat with my own manpower, I am taking advantage of our Amazon Prime account and shopping from my couch. Of course, this time I’m…

Post by Out Chasing Stars. We have arrived in A Coruña safe and sound, and are very pleased with our first crossing. It took us about 60 hours, and we have learned quite a lot. We had some plans and expectations, and really everything went out the window. Why is This Route So Popular? This…
