12.5 days REALITY of crossing the Atlantic | Part 3 #sailinglife
A torn foresail. Two broken spinnaker poles. Squalls. Burning sun. Whales.
In this final chapter of our Atlantic crossing, the ocean gives us everything it has.
Squalls hit hard. Waves grow tall. Gear breaks.
We fix what we can. Keep sailing. Keep hoping.
And still—we laugh, we dance, we enjoy.
We watch dolphins surf our bow, and a whale breaches just meters away.
This passage pushes us to our limits… and fills us with wonder.
It’s the most chaotic, most beautiful stretch of ocean we’ve ever sailed.
And then, finally, land - Barbados.
