Disa - Christmas is coming...



Christmas is coming… and so is SV Disa. Grenada is in our sights and we can almost hear those steel bands beating out a Caribbean rhythm. We’re getting into the festive spirit on board, singing along to Christmas tunes. We have a small string of Christmas lights in the cockpit and we have been enjoying some festive fare at mealtimes. We celebrated a late American Thanksgiving with New England Clam Chowder and Andy’s amazing pumpkin pie. One thing is for sure - we have eaten well on this crossing!

Thanksgiving and Christmas make us think about our families back home. We have a lot to be thankful for. We miss our loved ones immensely and wish they were all sailing on this boat with us, sharing the experience. For Darrol and I, sailing across the Atlantic was a dream that seemed almost unattainable. Joining the ARC+ gave us the courage and safety net that we needed. As a bonus we have gained lots of new friends and learnt a whole lot more about sailing. This is an experience we’re going to look back on for many years to come - there are so many stories to tell. I can just imagine Darrol turning the meat on the braai back home in Cape Town as he tells his brother all about that big fish that got away.
