Our trip north from Langkawi to Phuket involved 4 days of motor-sailing tight to the wind. Unfortunately, we had pretty rainy weather, and lots of wind (20-25 knots).

Luxury mom vacation in Wainiha, Kauai

Boulders in Belitung
We had a rough passage from Kumai, Borneo to Belitung. It took us 48 hours: it involved 2 sick children and Riki hand-steering for 3 hours in the dark because the autopilot couldn’t handle the wind direction/wave combo. Both Jade and Luz recovered after the first night but it’s hard parenting sick kids at sea.… Read more
