The Atlantic is ROLLY (and I’m exhausted) // Atlantic Crossing Daily Vlog #5
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...
Dealing with sleep deprivation. // Atlantic Crossing Daily Vlog #4
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 ...
