In this video, we walk you through how we receive updated weather forecasts every day, even in the middle of the Atlantic.
Among the multitude of solutions to receive weather forecasts offshore, Ryan and I chose the Iridium Go from PredictWind. Predict Wind has been our weather forecast provider ever since we started sailing, and when the time came to purchase our Iridium, the easiest solution was to get it through them.
After going through the basics of what an Iridium Go is and why we decided to go that route, we download a weather forecast through the PredictWind offshore app.

Ryan & Sophie Sailing
Ever wondered what life looks like on the other side of quitting your job to sail around the World? We did too. And then, we took the plunge. Welcome to our channel, where we tell the stories of our sailing voyage, from zero experience to full-time cruising! We are Ryan and Sophie, an American guy and a French girl who met in Sweden, on a cold night of March 2015. Shortly thereafter, we decided to leave our corporate jobs to live a big sailing adventure around the World together. We had no experience of sailing at all before we started, and had honestly no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Turns out, with a bit of willpower and work, anything goes. The dream came true on June 5th of 2018, when we finally got to set sail from our home port in Stockholm.
