Crossing The Atlantic Ocean – Land Ho! Episode 134
In the latest episode of Leading the Escapade, we join intrepid couple Jason and his partner as they make their ambitious journey to cross the mighty Atlantic Ocean on board their sailboat, Escapade. Their destination is none other than paradise itself – the Caribbean island of Barbados.
The Journey Begins
With only a basic understanding of sailing, this fearless duo takes on one of the most formidable challenges nature has to offer – a transatlantic voyage that typically spans between 1,900 and 3,200 nautical miles. For Jason and his partner, this incredible adventure was just part of their larger goal: to live life to the fullest and explore the world on their own terms.
Facing Rough Weather
The early stages of their journey see the couple facing a violent squall with sudden high winds. They are faced with the unexpected disconnection of a vital shackle on their boat’s head sail halyard, leaving them temporarily adrift and reliant on engine power alone to continue their crossing.
Weathering The Storm
The couple’s unwavering determination shines through, as they work together in challenging conditions – including strong winds and stormy weather – to repair their sail halyard. In an inspiring display of teamwork, Jason’s girlfriend expertly climbs up the mast while he holds the boat steady beneath her, reattaching the vital piece of equipment which allows them to catch wind again.
A Welcoming Finish
With a combination of careful navigation, resourcefulness, and persistence, they eventually find their rhythm across the Atlantic Ocean. The pair make landfall in Barbados with just a few days’ worth of supplies left.
The Transformation
Throughout this incredible journey, Jason and his partner not only learn the technical skills necessary to survive the perils of the ocean – but also a deeper appreciation for one another and the strength of their partnership. Their determination and spirit shine through even at their lowest points when things are looking dire.
The Lessons Learned
In reflecting on the journey, they discuss what they would do differently if given a second chance. Jason notes that he wishes to have been more prepared and cautious – but also acknowledges that without those challenges, they wouldn’t have grown as much or come out of it stronger than ever.
New Beginnings
As they disembark from their incredible journey and set foot on the sandy beaches of Barbados, Jason and his partner revel in their success – a testament to what can be achieved when one takes that leap of faith. From rescuing kittens to crossing oceans, their adventures are only just beginning.

With an impressive fan base supporting them every step of the way, it’s clear that Leading the Escapade has captured hearts worldwide with their journey across the Atlantic.
