How to Get Your Sea Legs - Sailing Adventure Blog
/
How to Get Your Sea Legs is the official logbook of Michelle Segrest sharing her travels sailing the world in a 43-foot sailboat for a year. It reveals all the good, the bad, and the ugly details about the planning stages, stories about living on a sailboat, sailing with dogs, the reality of working while sailing, impressions of her many interesting destinations along the way, nitty-gritty details about each sailing passage, and the entire experience from the first mate's point of view.
Seefalke still tosses me around the cabin at times. I still blurt four-letter words daily, but I no longer become distracted by the bruises. I still battle seasickness with every passage, but it’s just another part of my new normal of living life sideways. Most days are mundane and uneventful. Some are filled with engine trouble at sea or filthy maintenance chores. Other days are downright scary, difficult, and uncomfortable. But it’s worth it.
