Upon arrival to this new island, we were completely wow'ed. We already have a good feeling about Barbuda and we've barely seen the place yet. Riley joins his mate George for a spearfish and I agree to drop him off in the boat and go back to Cocoa Bay around the other side of the island and anchor by myself. It's funny how after 4 years I've never had the opportunity to take La Vagabonde anywhere solo. It's always been the two of us, or Riley solo sailing while I take care of work on land etc etc. It was an incredibly empowering feeling, trusting in myself to do what I already knew I could do, but was a little too scared to take that step and try. A shout out to all the solo sailors out there! I think you're all amazing. Next goal of mine is to take on the deeper water and miles!
On a separate note, we are almost ready to announce tickets for our first USA meet up. It will be in Miami on the 17th of June. We are just awaiting confirmation but as soon as we receive it, we will announce it in a new Patreon post. Hopefully we can organise a few of these meetups whilst in the states. Stay tuned!
ALSO.. Thank you for all the well wishes on our recent announcement. Exciting times :)
