The tale of the stormy sea
The crossing of the Strait of Messina with rough seas on board the couple's boat it happened at the end of July. The producer wanted to share the story of the crossing only now. Here is what she wrote about IG:
"Aboard the Shenandoah – a three masted steel hulled schooner, built in New York in 1902. 888 square meters of sail and 35km/h gusts need a crew of heroes like this to handle! The roller coaster ride was exhilarating, followed by the calmer crossing across the Strait of Messina. The Shenandoah rocked us like babies in our cribs last night".
