Crossing the Atlantic: Heavy WEATHER & HARD Lessons | Day 7
All five of us are now one full week into our Atlantic crossing.
We made some pretty serious mistakes in the video. Could have been worse, a LOT worse. No need to point out all our faults in the comments, how bad things could have gone haunt me already. Sad to have lost a cushion but so grateful that’s all that was lost. Could have been a finger, hand, foot..head.
Seven days at sea. One whole week.
And we still have an estimated 12 days to go before we reach the other side, where Ayanna’s newly purchased boat is waiting for her.
We’re uploading these videos daily and almost in real time from the middle of the ocean — which means as this episode airs, we are still out there somewhere on the deep blue. 🌊
You can find our live tracker linked below to see where we are right now.
Day 7 brought cold mornings, very little sleep, dog ear repairs, oatmeal that felt like a luxury, and serious wind and swell. We spent the day double-reefed, surfing down waves we didn’t love, and eventually deploying a sea drogue to slow the boat and keep things safer. Nothing like learning lessons the hard way — including saying goodbye to a cockpit cushion.
This was the spiciest weather we’ve seen so far on this passage, and the first night where things truly felt… intense
