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...
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...
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 and West to East, the seasonality of both p...
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 her on board for a month.

Unable to predict whether Madeira or Cape Verde will let us in due to COVID, we set out to provision for our entire Atlantic Crossing. Herby goes up the mast for a rig inspection, and we explore the WWII tunnels in the Rock of Gibraltar! Finally, we set off for Madeira!

Finally, here we are!!! After 17 days at sea and 2100 nautical miles, we have crossed the Atlantic on our sailboat and make landfall in Martinique.
We are full of emotions as we get our first glimpse of the island and finally set foot on land!

It is day 15 of our Atlantic Crossing onboard Polar Seal, and we are more than deeply rooted in our offshore routine. So I thought I’d film a “Day in the life” episode, Transatlantic Edition!
So welcome on board to our little daily routine!
------------------------------------------------------...
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.
We fight boredom with food (obviously), nappi...
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 how the night went :(
I’ve always known tha...
It is day 12 of our Atlantic Crossing, and we kick off the day with some breakage again!
We are pretty down about it, especially considered how many incidents we’ve endured so far. Bur our friends and former crew send us an email that brings a smile on our faces and we carry on our day.
By the en...
Welcome to our LONGEST day across the Atlantic. The wind dies on us and we spend our entire day messing with sails.
In this video, things take a turn again. And sprinkle a dicey situation with some sleep deprivation, fatigue, and stomach problem, you get the perfect recipe for an explosive cocktail...
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 for our Christmas diner. Unfortunately, it i...
It is day 8 of our Atlantic Crossing onboard, and although it took us a week, we are well settled.
Around noon, we catch sight of our first ship since departing Mindelo and we are LITERALLY on a collision course. The ship slows down and we are not sure what their intentions are, so Ryan makes up s...
Any day that starts with Ryan making me breakfast is the best day!
It is day 7 of our Atlantic crossing, and the weather is beautiful! The seas are stable and we are sailing full sails out at 6 knots.
We can finally clean Polar Seal, take the trash to the anchor locker and get rid of the salt on...
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 when I did Ironman, a big triathlon race. I rem...

In this video, we explain how sailboats have crossed the Atlantic for hundreds of years! We go through Trade Winds (in particular the equatorial trade winds), how they form, why they are stronger in the winter and how they blow....
We are currently in Cape Verde and a few days away from crossing the Atlantic!
