One of the biggest misconceptions about the lifestyle that we chose, is that we live in a state of a permanent vacation. Now, there are as many ways to make a sailing life work as there are sailors out there, and when Ryan and I decided to cast off the lin...
Because when one lands in Horta after a Transatlantic crossing, certain things ought to be done, we happily oblige. We go have the drinks at Peter's sports café, paint our Polar Seal mural on the walls of Horta harbor, and most importantly.... I try to su...

Land oh! After 15 days at sea, we finally see land again. And just like that, our 3500 nautical miles adventure between Bonaire and the Azores ends :)
Thank you to St. Paul de Vence for the music! I've really enjoyed illustrating the footage of our crossi...
We often joke that an ocean crossing starts when you reach halfway. But the truth is, that passed the excitement of the first days, a long offshore passage can sometimes be a lot more mentally challenging than one would think...
There is a myriad of reas...

Anett and I have spent a LOT of time studying seasickness while feeding the f...
Losing our satellite communications 1000 nautical miles offshore: https://youtu.be/GYfDZgdeQps
Big thanks to our weather router Charlie from www.myweatherrouter.com for having our backs in this inconvenient situation ;)
Also thank you to St. Paul de Ven...
The one thing that is guaranteed to happen on an offshore passage this long, is that stuff is going to break. Our job before departure is to have a solid risk management plan, making sure that we either have redundancy in case of a critical system failure,...
This week we made a HUGE upgrade to our Lagoon 42... we switched out the factory helm seat with the TACO Marine Capri seat! We filmed the install process and are SO happy with the results.

Welcome to Episode #100!!! 🥳
In 2020, we couldn't sail more than a couple of hundred nautical miles, and were really looking forward to an ocean passage. This one certainly had a few surprises in store for us!
Hope you enjoy the videos of our crossin...
When we first left Bonaire to sail across the Atlantic to the Azores, we never intended on stopping anywhere on the way. But after a serious week of beating into the wind, our bodies craved a break on land (as well as a burger and a beer)
Our VHF broke a...

It has been 5 days that we are at sea, and after a rough crossing of the Caribbean Sea and some excit...
We had not heard much about the Mona passage before we realized that there was no way we could exit East of Puerto Rico. But the fact that it has a name (let alone a reputation) should have been enough of a red flag.
After three days of tiring upwind sai...
In this episode, we hang out at the Granville Island Boatyard, and look at the boats, a great way to spend a morning in the city! We then enjoy a great long weekend cruise with our good friends Stephanie and Chas. We attempt to move the outboard engine fro...
After four months of work and a chaotic week of last-minute preparations, the day has finally come to leave Bonaire and set sails towards the Azores.
The first leg of this Atlantic crossing takes us upwind from the South of the Caribbean Sea to the South...
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...
It is day -2 until we depart for our 3500 nautical miles passage from Bonaire to the Azores, and the time has come to go back to the grocery store and buy vegetables, fruits, and other fresh foods.
But I have no idea where I am going to store everything,...
Three days before Ryan, Anett and I left Bonaire to cross the Atlantic to the Azores, we connected with Andy from @59NorthSailing for a full weather routing brief.
In this video, we go over the differences between crossing the Atlantic from East to West...
I could have made a video about how to organize and plan the perfect ocean crossing... But the reality is that the last days before departures are always a bit chaotic, and that's ok! So instead of making it look like something it isn't: here is a slice o...
What do you need to buy when you head out to sea for a month and how much? And more importantly: is this the hardest part about provisioning for a long passage?
In this video, we explore the answers to these questions. Welcome to Day-4 to departure, wher...
After three months of solid preparations ahead of our coming crossing, everything was under control until obviously... it wasn't anymore.
Our new crew Anett arrives in Bonaire in a few hours, and we have a lot of work to do to prepare Polar Seal to have...
Welcome to our channel! My name is Sophie, I am French, and I sail the World together with my partner Ryan, who's American. We met on Tinder in Stockholm, Sweden in 2015, where we lived at the time. Were we sailors? No. In fact, we had never stepped foot o...
