I sail with two mermen to Waimea Bay and we get hit with a rogue wave along the way!
3 months worth of boat repairs reduced to 19 minutes.
In 2019, Sam Holmes and I both sailed solo from California to Hawaii, me on a 34 ft. boat and him on a 23 ft. We meet up in the Ala Wai Harbor on Oahu and sail together over to Kauai. We talk about our transpacific crossings along the way, cook, have a bowline tying contest, make music out of plumbing pipes, meet a sea lion, and explore the bay of Hanalei.

This is what I wrote just before I set sail solo across the Pacific Ocean paired with images of me soaking in saltwater. I have documented my entire sailing adventure through words on wildernessofwaves.com & am now bringing those words to life on my podcast wildernessofwaves.com/podcast
