[Status] Arrived!
Completed our first real passage. Now moored in beautiful clear waters with lots of corals and fish.
Passage for me was nothing short of exceptional. Feeling nature changes as one travels into different world.
Sailing in short - we traveled whole passage with 2 reefs in main and 40 to 100% Genoa. Safety first. Lagoon 400 shines with this setup in heavier weather.
Day one was great, lots of wind and waves and speed however boat and a/p handled very well.
Day two repetition of day one in milder version. Could shake reef or two but was just too enjoyable to add stress to sailing.
Day three wrong weather forecast. Instead of smooth seas and 10kn we got 30 kn on the nose and some ugly waves, presume generated by currents. Very happy how boat handled situation.
Day four best day of sailing long swell else flat seas 25 kn and bunch of squalls. Was enjoying slaloming thru them. We ended up going into two squalls. First one took all sails down. Second one just alert.
Day 5 winding down .
Boat no issues.
Tanja got modest seasickness day two, and got better day after.
She enjoyed trip as well apart from seasick part
Overnight watches - we agreed day by day and do not feel too tired after 5 days.
Now is pastries/vine/cheese/dive/snorkel time:)
