Selkie - Leg 2: Day 7



Have you ever walked up hill and then down hill in the same 5 seconds over and over and over again? Have you ever made dinner where the kitchen knife slides towards you on the counter and a fantastic smelling squid lands right outside your window? Have you ever watched one of your children view a tv show while gripping wildly to a lee cloth? That’s us. Back and forth and back and forth with huge waves, but I can’t complain much. We have following seas, 18 knot winds, moving 7 knots with one wing, and no puking children. Are we safe? As safe as anyone can be. Are we low on food? Almost down to the canned goods, but there are a lot of canned goods. Do we know stronger weather is approaching? Yes, we are hoping for the best. We hope it is not much different from what we are experiencing now. Are we happy we did this? As happy as you can be with an extraordinary life changing experience. It has its up and downs just like any other day. Do I feel like my world may tip over? Sometimes. Doesn’t everyone?

Maggie, the Mom
