For those who followed us during the crossing, disaster came in the form of a 10ft Blue Marlin.... 

​

Which after some seriously cool gopro footage, took issue with Oardrey and decided to strike the boat. He came at us on the port side, hitting the hull HARD.... 

​

The result being three holes in the boat: 

1 large one from the external side of the hull through the port side, narrowly missing our water maker compartment;

1 smaller hole between Maddie's snack pack compartment into the central locker (which we later bunged with a sawn off piece of oar); and

one small hole in the central locker lid and a cracked side. 

​

Vibe the Wave used their initiative and creative streak to bung the holes as best they could with a fender and of course, a champagne bottle no less! 

​

HOWEVER, Oardrey, our trusted vessel, was chartered to us by Seasoars who are crossing in December 2024... meaning she needs to be fixed and repairs ASAP at an unhealthy cost. 

​

Therefore, if you wish to show your support in any capacity, a donation towards the repairs would be AMAZING... 

​

Surely, the scream alone deserves a few quid?
