made it to cartagena, columbia after a four day sail from aruba- longest passage ive done so far. exhausting! exhilarating! we did it all with a broken boom, around ~130nm a day
.
my sleep schedule is chopped and screwed from night sailing… but lookin forward to exploring columbia once I recover
.
here is our very cute crew holding luma’s broken boom

Four people standing on a sailboat, holding a boom. Sunny weather with a blue sky. The background features a marina with several other boats and buildings.

@lake
I was very briefly VERY confused by you sailing 130 nanometers per day.

@lake I'm sure we'll also find Palpatine or something inside.

@lake How's Calcifer? Might not hurt to scrounge a bit of that driftwood.

update, on shipwreck plundering:

we did not find a new boom… but did excavate a few months’ old wreck- found an anchor chain that is in much better shape than the one we have now.

the extraction mission was an insane ordeal involving the four of us dragging the (many hundred pounds worth of) chain in chain-gang fashion across the whole island, some of us wearing backpacks loaded with chain, some of us wrapping huge amounts of it around our bodies.

it looked ludicrous

@lake if it interests you and you ever cant identify any, folks on inaturalist.org/ could also probably help! (and observations from often unseen places would be very cool i bet)

i don’t think there is anything cooler than sailing a boat at 3am, all ur homies are slumbering below deck, youre blasting silver mt zion on a bluetooth speaker, and a dolphin spontaneously leaps out of the random spot of water you’re staring off into the distance at

we made it to curaçao after a weeklong 450nm journey along the venezuelan coast. the boom snapped in half in the middle of the night about 140nm in, so we sailed with the jib the rest of the way. was totally chill, downwind + with a lovely 2 knot current the whole way. we stayed at barely inhabited islands with tiny coast guard stations, we were visited by many pods of dolphins, we caught and cooked many big fish…..

sharing this substack article / podcast by Ismatu Gwendolyn, an artist living in Sierra Leone. discusses such things as the role of the artist in current society, money as a drug, being an artist as a member of a marginalized class, many more things..

we hauled out in Trinidad to do some boat projects (cleaning, rudder fixes, new antifoul coating, other things..)

i think that living in the boatyard is basically like living in a treehouse,

A white sailboat named "Luma" is propped up on metal stands in a boatyard next to a blue-hulled sailboat.
