****UPDATE****
CURIOSITY² was a 2023 HH44 Sailing Catamaran. We documented everything from the build process, to handover and our short time living aboard. But, it wasn’t all smooth sailing after we took delivery. Of course, all new boats have teething issues, especially with new designs or the first few boats off the line, but CURIOSITY has had more than her fair share. Which is not what we or HH expected.
We’ve just been handed our brand new HH44 Catamaran (a 2 year dream in the making). And we only have 3 days before we must sail the boat out of the country.
Most sailors would take it slow for the shakedown period and coastal cruise for the first month or so while they get to know the vessel. But, we don’t have that luxury.
Because this boat was built for export and once completed, it must be exported out of the country. So no local cruising for us. Due to the weather patterns and time of year, our best option right now is to sail the 600+ miles across the South China Sea, through the Taiwan Straits (notoriously treacherous bit of water) and into the Philippines. That’s one helluva first sail! Welcome to the world S/V CURIOSITY.
In other words this is not a shakedown cruise. This is a multi-day Bluewater passage that will have to serve as our shakedown.
Goodbye China and hello Philippines.
We owe a lot of thanks to so many people for helping us during these pivotal days. A big thanks to the HH Team for helping us successfully out of China (Molly and Anna, you both deserve big red envelopes!)
Casey, you are a mad man in all the best ways. Thanks for being so helpful and most importantly, making a stressful time a lot more fun! Looking forward to sharing an anchorage one day soon! (P.S. you can follow Casey and Erin on Instagram @endlessplaytime)
And to all our Patrons, these videos wouldn’t be possible without you. So Thank YOU!
