From Samaná, DR to Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos. 180 nm of pure sailing bliss - Ella loved this one!

This time, the sea was kind to us! Ella and I sailed 180nm from Samaná, Dominican Republic to Grand Turk Island, Turks & Caicos, and this passage could not have been more different from the previous one: No waves. No squalls. Just steady 14–16 knots on the beam, full mainsail and Code 0, and Mirage gliding effortlessly across the ocean. The night sail was pure magic - full moon, calm seas, and that deep, quiet rhythm of perfect sailing. One of those moments that remind you why you go to sea in the first place. Daytime was just as beautiful: Sunbathing on deck Relaxed breakfast underway First glimpse of the iconic light-blue, crystal-clear waters of Turks & Caicos Most importantly - Ella truly enjoyed this sail. Smiles, calm seas, and that rare feeling when everything simply works. 🎶 Soundtrack: "Dreaming" by Camouflage sets the mood for the passage 🕺 And yes… stay until the end for a little afterparty with classic Italo Disco - because good sailing deserves good music. If you love night sailing, smooth passages, and tropical arrivals, this one is for you. Fair winds, Vlad & Ella ⛵ Mirage
