TransAtlantic - Cooking at Sea in Foul Weather | Ep 277
This time on Distant Shores we make a 2-week passage across the Atlantic Ocean, a first-time experience for our crew members, Noel and Tracey. Along the way we show how we deal with squalls and handle meal preparation as the yacht rolls in large seas on this challenging east to west transatlantic crossing.
