Pacific crossing, 29 days at sea.

Nightmare! We lost the rudder in open ocean.We tried to built several rudders and and came 100 NM north in three days. We had to be towed the last 40 NM before we were safe in Majuro.
We are forever grateful for all the help we got and we really hope we can continue this journey, all the way back to Sweden, in some way.

I bet we can all agree that Old Ironsides is the best sailing ship out there.

Less than an hour down the road from me in Hartlepool we have HMS TRINCOMALEE - the oldest warship still afloat in Europe
