17 Days at Sea With A Toddler: What its REALLY Like (Pacific Crossing 8 of 8) S.V. Delos Ep. 423

Ahoy patreon fam!  We're proud to present our last episode of our Pacific crossing series (can't believe how fast these 8 episodes have flown by!!!).  For this one we thought it would be  interesting to explore what it's really been like to spend so long at sea with Sierra...When we were in Mexico after hauling out in Penasco, we were trying to decide between spending another whole year there, or making the jump across the Pacific.  We were both super stoked about the idea of making it back into the South Pacific, but the one thing that held us back from making the call was wondering how Sierra would do, (and how we would do handling how she would do).  But after lots of discussions and back and forth, we decided that we were all up to the task.  In some ways the crossing went way better than we expected in terms of Sierra, but it wasn't without it's challenges. In this episode we show you both sides of it, the struggles along with all the smiles.  But ultimately it was such a beautiful experience to share as a family, and we COULD NOT be more proud of how Sierra did....crossing an ocean is tough on even the hardiest of sailors, let alone a toddler, and she handled it all with so much positivity and energy.  It's so crazy to imagine what it must have been like for her...how she interpreted what was going on, the emotions she felt...We can't wait to share these videos with her when she's older and show her what an incredible little sailor baby she was!

Anyone else here sail with little ones?  Or done a big adventure or trip with their kiddo?  Tell us about your experience and what lessons you learned in the comments :)

Sending lots of love from our latest anchorage in Tahiti!

Brian, Kazza, & Sierra
