Finally, here we are!!! After 17 days at sea and 2100 nautical miles, we have crossed the Atlantic on our sailboat and make landfall in Martinique.
We are full of emotions as we get our first glimpse of the island and finally set foot on land!
--------...
It is Day 16 of our Atlantic crossing between Cape Verde and Martinique, and we have less than 100 nautical miles to go!
I try to kill time by spending almost two hours making breakfast and prepare Egg Benedicts from scratch. And because time goes so slo...
It is day 15 of our Atlantic Crossing onboard Polar Seal, and we are more than deeply rooted in our offshore routine. So I thought I’d film a “Day in the life” episode, Transatlantic Edition!
So welcome on board to our little daily routine!
----...
It is day 14 of our Atlantic crossing and we’ve now lived at sea for 2 weeks. Getting bored yet? So are we! ;)
And while boredom is never a fun feeling, it also is the expression of nothing going particularly wrong, which is an experience to cherish.

I was SO happy at 2AM when it was time for our watch shift. Ryan came up from the cabin, we pulled the sails out all the way and after 24 hours on the engine we were finally sailing again!
I was envisioning a good 6 hours of sleep, but that’s not really...
It is day 12 of our Atlantic Crossing, and we kick off the day with some breakage again!
We are pretty down about it, especially considered how many incidents we’ve endured so far. Bur our friends and former crew send us an email that brings a smile on...
Welcome to our LONGEST day across the Atlantic. The wind dies on us and we spend our entire day messing with sails.
In this video, things take a turn again. And sprinkle a dicey situation with some sleep deprivation, fatigue, and stomach problem, you get ...
Podcast starts at 8:17
How did we get the idea to quit our jobs to go sail the World? How did we go from zero to Transatlantic? How did we learn how to sail? What kind of jobs did we have before?
We answer all your questions in this episode of ON THE W...
This is how we celebrated Christmas Day in the middle of the Atlantic! At this point, we’ve been saying for 10 days and we’ve gone two thirds of the way: time starts to feel like slooooow…..
And although the sea state has picked up a bit, we celebra...
It is day 9 of our Atlantic Crossing, and Ryan let me sleep the first half of the night so that I would catch up on some rest. I take over at 3AM in the cockpit and get to watch the sunset!
When I wake up, it is Christmas Eve and I have some grand plans ...
It is day 8 of our Atlantic Crossing onboard, and although it took us a week, we are well settled.
Around noon, we catch sight of our first ship since departing Mindelo and we are LITERALLY on a collision course. The ship slows down and we are not sure w...
Any day that starts with Ryan making me breakfast is the best day!
It is day 7 of our Atlantic crossing, and the weather is beautiful! The seas are stable and we are sailing full sails out at 6 knots.
We can finally clean Polar Seal, take the trash to ...
On Day 6 of our Atlantic Crossing, we finally find our groove and settle. The relief is incredible for everyone, including our buddy boats.
So for the first time since we left Cape Verde, we cook, we clean the boat and we even change our watch schedule t...
It is Day 5 of our Atlantic crossing, and the sea state still makes it challenging for us to function.
I feel a lot better than the day before, but really look forward for the sea to flatten a little bit.
The whole situation reminded me of the time whe...
It is Day 4 of our Atlantic passage and the sea state is worse than ever. Although the day starts well, our autopilot uses so much power that we decide to give it a break and hand steer for a while.
The waves aren’t very high, but Polar Seal is rolling ...
Hi guys! A lot of you sent emails and messages asking how we are doing here in Saint Martin.
So we take you to the place where the temperature of a country amidst the coronavirus outbreak is best taken: the supermarket!
Thank you all for reaching out. W...
We knew that eventually, sh*t would hit the fan. It was all a matter of when, and it started less than 48h into our Atlantic Crossing.
This is Day 3 of our Atlantic Crossing, and after having broken our whisker pole, we attempt to repair it. This is an i...
It is day 2 of our sailing passage across the Atlantic, and we try to settle into offshore rythm. The sea state is a little wild, and it feels like everything in the boat is falling.
In the afternoon, Sophie decides that the conditions are good enough to...
The day has finally come: we are about to depart from Cape Verde and cross the Atlantic on our own sailboat!!!
Ryan is more anxious than I’ve ever seen him, and I simply can’t wait to leave the dock. Finally, around noon, we can’t push the moment a...
Welcome to the first episode of our Atlantic Crossing daily vlog!
Emotions fly high on our last day before departure. While Ryan is crippled with anxiety, we try to get our last-minute preps done. Relaxing is probably some of the hardest things to do!
