A Mid-Atlantic Birthday Surprise For My Sweetheart (MJ Sailing - EP 78)

Just because you’re in the middle of the ocean doesn’t mean you can’t have a little party!

As we continue along on our trans-Atlantic, we leave the doldrums behind and start making miles. We get the occasional squall and showers, but otherwise it’s all smooth sailing.

Featuring days 5-10 of our crossing, we get a few small boat projects done; Georgie receives a feathered visitor for a few hours; but most importantly, we celebrate Matt’s birthday. The 2nd time in 4 years he’s celebrated in the middle of the ocean! We don’t let location get in the way of commemorating the occasion as I decorate the boat and Matt even gets a fish on the line!

Much love from the Atlantic Ocean!
Jessica, Matt & Georgie
