We Crossed the Atlantic… Would We Do It Again? #luxuryyachtlife #atlanticcrossing
After 24 days at sea and 4,500 miles across the Atlantic, we finally arrived in A Coruña, Spain aboard our Kadey-Krogen 55 trawler, Moonfleet.
In this episode, we reflect honestly on what it was really like to cross the Atlantic Ocean by motor yacht: the exhaustion, the fear, the cost, the weather, the mechanical issues, the night watches, life with our dog Gypsy onboard, and the emotional reality of being hundreds of miles from land for days at a time.
Was crossing the Atlantic worth it? Would we ever do it again? And what do we wish we had known before setting off from St Thomas, through Bermuda and the Azores, all the way to mainland Europe?
This is our honest review of a 24-day Atlantic crossing as a couple living aboard a trawler full time.
Join us as we share the truth about ocean crossing, passagemaking, slow travel, boat life, and what it really takes to move your floating home across an ocean.
