Unexpected Surprise During Mast Check - Can We Continue? - ep 79
Sailing in Tonga has it´s challenges. Especially when we do a mast check and find a faulty rig. How do we replace a lower shroud where there is nothing. Can we continue our sail to New Zealand? We do not allow ourselves to be miserable and participate in Tonga´s Blue Water Festival. A lot of joy, dinner and sail racing! Boy are we competetive. We sail a Koopmans 44 and a Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600 race boat.

Thank you for watching.
We are Bart, Kim and Liz and we are sailing around the world!
We met on a sailing school (Zeilschool de Veenhoop) in the Netherlands, where we were both sailing instructors. We were both in love with sailing and soon after we were in love with each other ;)
After a lot of traveling and rental boats we decided to buy our own sailing yacht. In 2018 we became the proud owners of 'Tranquillity' a Scanmar 33 foot sailing vessel built in Sweden in 1985! Not really a blue water cruiser but a small, tiny and sturdy boat and we love her!
After 3 years of sailing holidays we decided to take the big step and plan to start sailing the world. Minor hick-up we became parents on 19-02-2019 of Liz!
This channel will be all about sailing, refit a sailboat, sailing with a child (toddler), planning to sail the world, crossing the Atlantic ocean, the Pacific ocean and of course our life when we are cruising around the world on our tiny sailboat.
