We Had to Cut Our $10,000 Dinghy Loose in the Middle of the Atlantic 🌊 | Sailing Conundrum at Sea
Crossing the Atlantic is never easy⏤but this was on of the hardest decisions we've had to make. In the middle of rough seas and rising winds, our dinghy became a dangerous liability. After days of trying to save it, we could see no other choice but to cut it loose and watch thousands of dollars drift away into open ocean.
In this episode, we take you into the heart of the crossing. We'll show you what led up to the moment we had to let go and how we kept moving forward.
⚓️ This is real-life sailing. No filters. No script. Just us, the sea and the hard calls that come with chasing this dream.

~ Daily life onboard during the crossing
~ Sail plan updates and rout choices
~ Reflections on risk, safety, and letting go
