A pictorial tribute to Abi, who has now officially left Pendana.
Abi has travelled on Pendana 21,800nms / 40,373klms at an average speed of 9kts / 10.3mph / 16.6klms meaning she has spent 2,422 hours underway or 100.9 days. She has travelled the circumference of planet Earth which at the equator is about 24,902 miles (21,639nms / 40,075 km), even from pole-to-pole (the meridional circumference) Earth is 24,860 miles (21,602nms / 40,008 km). She has travelled about four-and-a-half times the (total) length of The Great Wall of China, or about nine times the Distance from L.A. to New York or, about one-tenth the Distance from Earth to the Moon and finally, she has travelled about 25,000,000,000,000,000 times the length of a Glucose Molecule. Impressive stuff for someone so young!
Abi has experienced everything from dead calm oceans to raging 34ft /10.3mtr seas, calm winds to severe gales topping 46kts and temperatures from 98f / 37c to 26f / -3c. She has laughed, cried and felt just about every emotion known to man but the reality is, she has achieved a great deal in a very limited time and our hope, as parents, is that the experience she has had, the good, great, bad and ugly will hold her in good standing in her life that is yet to come.
Adventure may hurt sometimes but monotony will kill all the time
We sure will miss our conning tower girl!Stay Safe

What a lovely tribute to a “crewman” who will be sorely missed! I have no doubt that her experiences aboard will forever be a source of inspiration for her and a bank account on which she will draw in the coming years.
Sending our well wishes for those left behind who will be adjusting to the new rhythm aboard without her physical presence.
Best,
The Thyrre’s
Gratitude

What a beautiful tribute to Abi! It must have been so amazing and rewarding to have the kids with you on your travels.
You are great parents for exposing them to the world and they will be much better for it. Congrats

Abi, we hope you have the most awesome & amazing future possible and we wish you the best of luck in everything you do Sweetheart. You have the best parents and how great it is for you to go out into the world knowing they will always be there should you need them. Your adventures will have provided you with so many great memories and stories to tell in the years to come. We know Pendana will be missing a valuable member of their crew, but it’s time for you to have your own adventures : ) and we look forward to hearing all about them! stay safe and have fun but not so much so that you have your folks tearing their hair out lol. Lots of love from the Nemiers M/V N62 Infinity xxx.
