In the fall of 2018, Grateful, a Beneteau Sense 50’ sailboat, left Turgutreis, Turkey for a sailing adventure to see the world. Join our adventure by jumping aboard or just follow along here!
#grateful What a long, amazing trip it’s been. Since last October, when I first found Grateful, waiting for me, I have plied the Aegean 2500 miles... #grateful... Far enough to have crossed the USA mostly at 7 miles per hour winds from slack to 48 knots, freezing snow covered mountains to warm, long hot days. #grateful...Only on one day did I break down and turn on the A/C. The crew constantly changes: around 30 people to date from a Kurdish artist to David my brother. To a family who quit American life to work for the peace corps in Somolia, to my Greek teacher. And a couple of young men from wales who were biking their way home from Afghanistan, where they spent a year teaching English. #grateful...One of my favorites were the couple from the Ukraine, who wanted to see what the cruising life was all about. Their daughter made me the most beautiful ceramic plate I have ever seen its colors capture the all the depths of Blue and green of the ocean.
Grateful is a modern sailing yacht with a completely innovative concept, the Beneteau Sense 50 arouses curiosity. From stern to bow, she adds one surprise to another in her entirely new organization of life on board. For cruising and well-being, simplicity and aesthetics are the watchwords.
