If the sailing lifestyle isn’t proof of work I don’t know what is?
To get here in this moment of time we spent five months working 10hrs a day 7 days a week preparing the boat. The Pacific is no joke it’s around 8,000nm from Panama to the east coast of Australia. Sailing those miles is relentless as the ocean, wind and the unpredictable Mother Nature constantly wear at the boat and crew trying to find their weakest point.
On the 11th of March we departed Panama bound for French Polynesia and we’re still out here over three weeks later sailing toward French Polynesia.
There’s only my wife and I onboard and one of us has to be awake and on watch the entire time we are sailing. Trimming the sheets and altering the heading doesn’t stop out here. Watching the weather, making water and keeping the boats electrical systems and power working is a constant concern that never goes away. Without it we aren’t f$&ked but it would definitely make life a lot harder.
The boats powered by 1.3kw of solar and this along with the wind is what’s powered and propelled us the entire way. It’s powering my phone and our sat comms to send this #sailstr #nostr #note.
Before departing my wife organised months and months worth of provisioning. She made lists and spent days sourcing all the food and items we’d need. I bought spares and tried to think of all the situations we’d need to cover. For sure you can’t envision everything but you do your best gained from the years of experience you have.
This is my fourth Pacific crossing however it’s by far the best. To be doing this two up with my wife on our new home has been a gift.
Being at sea for weeks on end gives one clarity and space within their minds. It shows you what’s truly important and where to focus one’s time and energy.
This clarity has confirmed what we’ve always felt and known and that’s that #Bitcoin is the key that will change the world and with its positive incentives it’ll make a fair and inspiring place for us all to live and grow together working towards a common goal, bettering the world for all.
It empowers the individual to do better and to be better and it gives us all a base of truth to build upon that will bring us together.
To steal a saylor (npub15dq…lm5m) quote “Bitcoin is hope”
And from LynAlden (npub1a2c…w83a) “I woke up
Today and chose rhetoric” our promise to Bitcoin and its community is that we will continue to educate people far and wide and to help awaken the world to the power of Bitcoin a monetary system based upon rules not rulers.
Here’s a few pics below of the last few days. We’re hoping to arrive on Sunday which will mean we’ve done over 24 days proof of work getting here and that’s what makes this lifestyle and way of travel so unique and rewarding ⛵️
Best wishes to all from the Pacific and man is it beautiful out here this place is so worth fighting for 😁🤙
