While the solo journey might be over, the adventure that Sophie and I are on is just gearing up. We have some really fun plans in the making (Polar Seal II?) and you can expect a lot more exciting things from u...
When I arrived in Cape Verde after a hectic passage from Lanzarote, I was feeling so emotionally drained and fatigued that I wasn't sure if I would continue my journey across the Atlantic solo, or in fact, at all.
I had Sophie help me put together several options to either stop in Cape Verde a...

This is not the start that Ryan expected to have when he left Lanzarote to cross the Atlantic solo onboard Polar Seal. And while we've always been aware of the migrant crisis between Africa and Europe, we never imagined that we would be confronted to it in such a brutal way.
It has been two m...

Once upon a time when I was 11 years old, I became the godmother of a cute baby, and I must admit... I did a pretty shitty job.
Thankfully 24 years later (gasp), he still accepts to hangout with me, and I invite him to join us for some adventurous offshore sailing between the islands of Madeira and...

When we finally can set sails towards Madeira, the conditions are perfect for us to test our new electronics and sails, making for a flawless passage, until we find ourselves sandwiched between two ships.
Whoops!
This video features new graphics and maps made by the talented Nathan Mileur :

Thank you @PrecisionSailLoftVictoria for kitting Polar Seal with a new, more versatile high cut jib, and the absolute most epic gennaker the world has ever seen ;)
It isn't rare that the weather forces us to go pass by a destination we really wanted to visit, but it doesn't occur as ofte...
For a hot minute, we had a plan. Then life happened.
2021 was for us a year of tremendous growth. And while we are grateful for all the lessons we learned and the wisdom we acquired, we also felt the pain of uncertainty, doubt, and some loneliness.
This is a real-time update, but we will take you...
Thank you @RaymarineInc for accepting us into your ambassador program and making it possible for us to upgrade Polar Seal's electronics :)

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 line, we knew that we would continue to work.

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 survive while going far out of my comfort ...

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 crossing with Ben's beautiful music, and...
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 reasons why an ocean crossing is a hard thing to...

Losing our satellite communications 1000 nautical miles offshore:
Big thanks to our weather router Charlie from www.myweatherrouter.com for having our backs in this inconvenient situation ;)

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, as well spare parts or tools to repair anyt...
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 crossing to the Azores, and if you do, don't...
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 as soon as we arrived in Bermuda, and we knew...
Thank you to St. Paul de Vence for this episode's music!
It has been over a week that we are at sea between Bonaire and the Azores, and after a whopping seven days of upwind sailing in 20 knots with waves on a beam at a short interval and dodging squalls on our way North... we are quite tired...
Thank you to St. Paul de Vence for this episode's music!
It has been 5 days that we are at sea, and after a rough crossing of the Caribbean Sea and some exciting sailing moments in the Mona Passage, we are really hoping for gentler seas.
But our hope was short-lived, as we quickly received a...
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 sailing across the Caribbean, we welcomed a cal...
