We left our home and
We left our home and our pets for over a month, and spent that month at sea getting our Diesel Duck 462 from Taiwan to Japan. In this video we carry on from the last, which was in Okinawa at the Yonabaru Marina.
In this month we would travel 1,000 NM in the open ocean, battling strong headwinds and unfavourable seas for most of it. Half way through the trip I caught a Japanese Plague and was really quite ill for the remainder of the trip (and am still suffering side effects today). You know when you're deathly ill and all you wanna do is be home alone, away from people and comfortable in bed with your pets? I dreamt of that a lot, but never ever got it. Haha. I kinda lost my focus on filming and documenting this trip with my heart and soul as I really just needed to focus on the tasks at hand, do my best to prevent the others on board from getting sick, stay as rested as possible so that I could do my watches during both the day and night, and also just try and enjoy the journey as much as possible. I also don't love, or really enjoy 'travel vlogging' and filming in front of people, or in public, so that was a continual struggle for me. But, I hope that I was able to put this together in somewhat of a cohesive and informative format, although I'd never be able to really describe or show you what this journey was REALLY like. It was hard, it was no Club Med, but I pulled through and was there to do this for Steve and his love of the sea, boats, and his dream of being just like Jaques Cousteau on the Calypso.
We are home now, for only a day though, and I am just so grateful to be home with the pets. I really struggled, missing them so much this time being away. In the last 24 hours I think I've kissed them all 1,000 times 🤭💕
I have some news to share with you all, so I will see you in the next video for that!
