Departing from Tonga and deciding what course to take, hoping that the forecasted weather holds true and really really really being like… not worried… but like when you get butterflies but they are the good kind and your feeling ok but have a big task ahead of you but think that you will be able to do it but also know that people have died doing this trip before and definitely wanting to do everything you can to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible. Conscientious, sedulous, respectful of the ocean and mother nature, anxious, elated, acknowledging doubts as they arise and trying to be honest about your and the boats capabilities. Big trip.
Cheers,
Riley
