Our First Overnight Passage Hit a Storm! | Fort Pierce to Palm Beach | Ep. 5

We said we were ready for our first overnight passage. The ocean had other plans. 🌊⛵ In Chapter 5, Captain Wout and Captain Deb leave Fort Pierce behind and head offshore for their first overnight passage aboard True Love. A surprise squall rolls in off the coast, 22-knot winds, 4-foot seas, and one seasick captain later, they are still smiling. Well, mostly. Oh, and the Fort Pierce farmer's market gets a visit first.
