Last year our Atlantic Gyre expedition was delayed two weeks because our sails were late to arrive. This year it is the entire boat.
We made the mistake of being finished with the trip mentally, while physically we were still at sea.
We were letting the peace and calm of the wind and seas seep into our mind and body. It’s the Zen approach to being becalmed.
The day after we finished our research we were sitting on the back of the boat enjoying an early dinner. Nikki suddenly stopped eating and said “look there is a sailboat over there.” It looked strange to me as the sails were not up and it seemed to be drifting around…
After 26 days of collecting samples from the North Atlantic Gyre, sailor Matt Rutherford can head back to the Chesapeake. So far, he and his crew have sailed 4,400 miles on their Ocean Reseach Project.
I have a confession to make, I am a Plastic Addict, are you?
June 28, 2013 We changed our route a bit and decided to go further north and south and a bit less east to west. When
t’s pretty funny to think we had to sail 2,200 miles just to get to the place where we can start doing or primary research. Talk about a long commute to work!
In the world of sailing they say the hardest part of winning a race is getting to the starting line.
Matt Rutherford, who last year completed his amazing solo Around the Americas voyage, explains the objectives of his newest undertaking, the Ocean Research Project.
