How do you measure stress, endurance, and the will of people through good times and in bad situations?

The task of travelling, two of us confined on our twenty-seven foot sailboat, were enormous. While en route, we joined up with others heading south. Unconventional bonds formed as six boats travelled as one, like ducklings, all learning, all growing. With ten adults, two young teens and one cat named Coco we were a Canadian Flotilla.

In this story there will be many obstacles to overcome as we travel. On the water, local knowledge is everything! Learning it, is a voyage away.
