Tehani-li

Tehani-li is a Tayana 52 built in 1988. Her current owners, Phil and Karel, have purchased her in Barcelona 10 years ago. Since she has proved a comfortable home and a fast passage maker. We are currently getting ready to cross the Indian towards South Africa.

Day 18... 18 days is the longest we've been at sea. It was 6 years ago, between Galapagos and Marquises. We stopped in both, rested, replenished, enjoyed, explored. Now, it's straight through

Day 17...It was a slow night, a quick morning and a mellow afternoon. We are struggling to keep the boat moving at a reasonable pace. The good news is that we still have this friendly current giving

Day 16... We are past half way to our next way point which is approximately half way. Confused? I guess we have completed 1/4 of our journey. So does that mean 64 days? If today is anything to go by

Day 15... Yesterday we wound the clocks back 2 hours. Well, that confused me no end! I know it doesn't take much, but between the ship's clock, UTC and my phone which hasn't corrected and is still on

Day 14... Does that mean our quarantine is finished? Can we go ashore now? We are still sailing in lovely conditions under sunny skies. Last night was slow and tedious with less than 5 knots of wind

Day 13...If sailing was like this everyday, everyone would be out here! A light breeze, the boat almost upright, a gentle wave and a friendly current are the perfect combination for a relaxing day

Day 12... The seas are flattening, the wind is shifting and the current is helping. We just achieved 200nm in 24 hours, to the delight of skipper and crew. But what was quite entertaining today, was

Day 11... A much brighter day. The sun playing hide'n'seek and the clouds slowly moving on to other pastures! The boat finally flying along and not pounding. And it's one archipelago down, 7 to go

Day 10.. Through the years, I read a lot of stories, accounts, articles, on people at sea. And in most cases, if not all, there comes a time in their story when the wind blows harder, the seas turn

Day 9... We thought today was the day we'd leave the Galapagos archipelago in our wake. Not so. Strong head winds slowed our progress, worse still, pushed us north. So once again decided to tack to

DAY 8... This morning we completed one week at sea. And today has been the most difficult and uncomfortable so far. Even the Bobbies left us. 6 years ago we did this trip, Panama to Galapagos, in 6

Day 7...Last night, on my first watch, the sky and sea blended so well into each other that they erased the horizon. It was pitch black till the moon decided it was time to get up! That's the

Day 6... Even though it is not the most comfortable ride we are at least sailing in the right direction. Close hauled and reefed down, speed of 7 knots and lumpy seas. To take my mind of things I

Day 5... A much better day than yesterday although we still have current against us making our true progress slow. You'd think we are on a racing boat with the number of times we tacked in the last 2

Day 4... We are sailing, but at what cost? Finally turned the engine off late yesterday afternoon. And spent a busy night trimming, tacking, reefing as winds shifted and currents slowed us. And our

Day 3 Motor sailing, still! with a staysail closed hauled. Some people might wonder what we do all day stuck on a small boat. Today we had lots to keep us busy. It was fuel transfer day. We had a

Day 2... Woke up to a beautiful sun and flat seas. We are still motor sailing and trying to push as west as we can before turning south. The nights are cool and are a refreshing change from the

Day 1 of ... who knows?? We left Panama this morning under heavy clouds. How does one feel facing such a long voyage? Hard to describe; lots of mixed emotions. But like a friend the saying goes "We

Panama Canal! We made it through safely. Now anchored in Las Brisas, enjoying a drink to welcoming ourselves in the Pacific. Leaving shortly, possibly Thursday for a long trek West!

Finally left the marina getting ready for the canal transit. Bitter sweet moment as made lots of friends!
