Today, our crew embarked on an exhilarating challenge day sail, led by our skilled skipper Hailey and expertly navigated by Reed. Their teamwork and precision paid off as they successfully sailed us to the stunning Scrub Island. The journey was a testament to their sailing prowess and the entire crew’s enthusiasm and dedication.

Upon our arrival at Scrub Island, everyone was thrilled to get some much-anticipated phone time. We eagerly took the opportunity to catch up with our parents, sharing the incredible adventures and memorable moments we’ve experienced so far. The joy of reconnecting with loved ones boosted everyone’s spirits, making the day even more special.

The crew is in high spirits, buoyed by the success of the day’s sail and the warmth of connecting with home. Our sense of camaraderie and excitement for the journey ahead is stronger than ever.

Looking ahead, we’re all set to navigate towards Trellis Bay tomorrow. The promise of new adventures and more beautiful destinations keeps our anticipation high. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to explore and make the most of this incredible journey!

The greatest challenge during the program was staying entertained during the quarantine period. Not being able to leave your boat and not having a phone, which was a crutch against boredom, it was difficult at first to stay entertained.
