Travel History
This is the counting of our sail trips. We started the counting since we bought our first sailboat. Fun fact is that we drink a shot every time we are safely on anchor or in a harbour after a sail. We drink to Poseidon and ourselves. We thank Poseidon for a safe passage, even when it was a rough one, and we hope the next one will be good too. We thank ourselves for getting back in the harbour or anchorage safely. Because let’s be real, sometimes sailing isn’t all about sunshine and dolphins but more about screaming to each other trying to figure out what to do in a difficult situation.
