Winner #3 is preparing to set sail on an offshore Andy Schell voyage. WHOA. And Winner #4 could be YOU on an offshore passage of your own on s/v Libra. I hope you find these stories as inspiring and uplifting as we do. It’s amazing to see real people, just like you and just like us really going for it. Join the cause!

Thanks to all my Patrons who have made these gifts and stories possible.
The current of the Gulf Stream is no joke, particularly when it is pushing you into head winds. Watch as we reef up and cross a pretty kicked up sea state across the Gulf Stream, sing to our first Cuban sunrise, deal with an issue with the furling gear on our headsail, navigate the entry to Marina Hemingway and make landfall in Cuba. HaveWindWillTravel is traveling this year! There’s a great Patreon update for you as well in here as we will soon be getting a video update from each of our previous Gift of Cruising winners and get ready to give our 4th gift away — a 100% free offshore voyage on SailLibra at the $500 reward level. WHOA. Become a Patron to be eligible to win and help us create cruisers out of each and every one of you! Hope you all are enjoying the journey to Cuba. We can’t wait to share that beautiful, culture-rich country with you.
“Read all about it!” Hey HaveWind followers. I hope you’ve got a BIG cup of coffee in hand, because there is enough awesome cruising content here to keep you entertained for hours. If only you had more hours, right? I wanted to share with you all the “Patron’s Extras” I’ve been putting together each week for my Patrons which includes an up-to-date newsletter covering our sailing, boat projects and cruising activities for the week, a Cuba Prep update (only 37 days to go, Holy Schnikes Batman!), offshore voyage opportunities, a sneak peek of each Friday’s video and TONS of footage from our everyday adventures, big and small. Become a Patron if you’d like to receive these “Extras” hot off the press! Or wait for them each month here. Either way, kick back, enjoy your java and BINGE!
Who wants to go offshore? If you said yes, then get on board with our 3rd Gift of Cruising — an incredible offshore voyage giveaway with Andy Schell and Mia Karlsson at 59-North.com. Here’s the deal. Since this is SUCH a big gift, Phillip and I need your help. First, watch the video (particularly Andy’s contribution explaining the sometimes uncomfortable, frightening but enlightening experience that an offshore voyage can provide), check out his FAQs, become a Patron then EMAIL me and tell me you want to be eligible to win this prize.
Also, because this is such a tremendous gift, Phillip and I need your help to fund the entire giveaway. Andy has graciously agreed to discount one of his totally-worth-it $2,500 voyages $500. We will match him by donating another $500 and I will give that away (a $1,000 voucher toward an offshore voyage with Andy Schell) regardless of whether we meet our Patreon goal. BUT … I would love to give the entire voyage away. Andy and I have done our part. It’s time for you all to come to the table, donate just a little to get Phillip and I at our Patreon goal of $500, so we can give away the entire voyage to one lucky Patron. Let’s do this!
Please send a big thanks to Andy Schell for partnering with me on this by checking out his incredibly candid and educational sailing podcasts, photos, blogs and videos at 59-North.com.
Our 3rd Gift of Cruising giveaway (of either the $1,000 discount or ** let’s hope ** the entire voyage) will occur Nov. 4th at the latest because I’ve already got my 4th Gift lined up. There will be no lolly-gagging here! Phillip and I love doing this and we have a passion to help more people realize a more rewarding life on the water.
