She Reacts to Her First Time Ocean Sailing [Ep. 2]

#sailing #freedom #firsttime #ocean

We take to the ocean for the first time. Sailing out of Narraganset Bay in Rhode Island, into the vast Atlantic Ocean. How will the boat, and the people fair?

About Us:

We are two racing sailors from the midwest USA that decided to sell it all to buy a boat and sail around the world. We both know how to sail, but the cruising and off the grid lifestyle is totally new to us.

Unlike most that choose to sail around the world via the trade winds and the Panama Canal, we are going the hard way in our sailing yacht, circumnavigating via Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope, east about (around the bottom of South America and Africa).

Our rescue dog Roxy also sails aboard and travels to other countries with us.

Join us as we learn as we go on an epic adventure around the world.

About our Sailboat:

S/V Sweet Ruca is a year 2000 J Boats J/46 sailboat. She was built in Rhode Island USA as a husband and wife round the world performance cruising sailboat. She is 46 feet long, 14 feet wide, has a draft of under 6 feet, and weighs 24,000 lbs. It has a carbon fiber mast which is 65' tall, and a 75 horsepower Yanmar diesel engine. She also has solar power and a watermaker (desalination) for off the grid living.

We think our boat is the perfect freedom machine. If the zombie apocalypse or world war 3 ever happens we are going to be hiding in the ocean :-)
