Aaaand that's it. Tomorrow, we are leaving on a 3500 nautical miles sailing journey that will take us from Bonaire (South of the Caribbean) to the Azores, in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. The truth is... we'll never be 100% ready. But this is the bes...

SETTING SAIL to Cape Verde! | Sailing Wisdom [S5 Ep8]

STUCK in the Strait of Gibraltar! | Sailing Wisdom [S5 ep2]
Trouble in paradise! We are having a very rough go at our path through the Strait of Gibraltar. Without a diesel, we can’t motor through the light winds to get out before the currents pull us back in. We end up going in circles for a couple of days, and ...![SAILING for Madeira: Leaving Continental Europe | Sailing Wisdom [S5 ep1]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi_webp/kA8asoW4554/maxresdefault.webp)

Can you see LAND yet?! // Atlantic Crossing Daily Vlog #16
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...
A Day our life crossing the Atlantic Ocean // Atlantic Crossing Daily Vlog #15

The long, windless and boring days at sea we (sorta) cherish… // Atlantic Crossing Daily Vlog #14
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. ...
Can the boat STOP BREAKING now?!!! (+ huge fish on our line!) // Atlantic Crossing Daily Vlog #13
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...
Hello from the middle of the Ocean! // Atlantic Crossing Daily Vlog #9
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 ...
