The gloves are not stopping the claw hands, though, which is a tendancy for our fingers to stay curved (as if holding onto oars). As long as something is oar-shaped, we can pick it up. Our seat pads are great and our bottoms are not too bad, but our lower backs and legs are sore now. We can’t wait for a king-size bed and to be able to walk more than four meters in any one direction. Mentally, it has been hard at times, and yes, there have been some tears. But when the sun comes out and the wind is behind us, it reminds us how amazing this experience is. We are focusing on one day at a time and we will reach our destination, 3,000 miles from the starting line. Check out this video if you're curious about aspects of our daily life on our boat, "Captain Jim"!
