S2 E5 Cigar rolling, litter pick-up, and my new puppy!! (Dominican Republic)

I was filming the trash pickup and farm parts of this video, and editing it, the day my E30 video was released on YT (Nov 11). I got a lot of positive support. The next day I went for a walk and for the first time since the surgery in May, 2013, I felt truly, deep down inside, happiness. It was a foreign emotion, and I searched for anything “sad” that might block me from it because sadness is more familiar and oddly comforting, but there was nothing. I just felt beams of happiness and I let it wash away any feelings of guilt. Thank you all for holding this space for me!

😀 Welcome to Sailing Artha 😀

Hi there, my name is Nicole, and my single-handed journey began in 2022 on a Columbia 26. It now continues on my new boat, a 28’ Bristol Channel Cutter named Artha (the name translates to “that which allows one to pursue her dream.”) I’m on a giant adventure of seeing the world and leaving it a better place! Follow me as I experience all the hard and fun times of this lifestyle. Thanks for watching, subscribing, and commenting.
