A LEAK Offshore | Sailing across the South Atlantic | Sailing Florence Ep.136
STORM bound then FOG bound drifting and BECALMED, we finally sail out into the trade winds only for the BILGE ALARM to go off at 3am. 500 miles from anywhere we are taking on water mid ocean. The start of this South Atlantic Ocean passage was not an easy one.
We have been sailing around the world for 6 years after setting off from England in 2016 on board our 37ft sail boat Florence. Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, Sailing offshore across the Oceans and exploring remote locations with our own little tiny house. Boat life out at sea on the ocean and off the grid.
