Our BIGGEST FEAR - Storms and Lightning at Sea - SAILING Across the Atlantic - Part 3 [Ep. 45]
We set the spinnaker and really get our tiny home at sea rolling. We find a huge convergence zone filled with squalls, storms, and lightning. The weather models have no consensus. This isn't going to be an easy night!

This isn’t a Captain Ron movie, it’s the real deal. If it’s gonna happen, it will happen out there! Join us as we keep on trucking across the Atlantic, from St. Maarten to the Azores in this leg of our around the world circumnavigation.
We are trying to sail around the world, West About, via Cape Horn and the Cape of Good hope.
We launched our boat in July of 2019 and have sailed over 7,000 miles so far crossing oceans. Our journey was paused a bit in Grenada because of the, well....you know what. But we made the best of it and did boat projects, repairs, upgrades, and lots of scuba diving, hiking, and exploring.
We took off again in May, hopefully this time we can continue to sail without another major interruption. It is going to be tricky though. There are still closures and additional paperwork is now required. We will do it though.
This relaxing video has us sailing in the Atlantic ocean, during the first 1/3 of our transatlantic voyage. Our weather routing has us making a straight shot, rather than over the top of low pressure systems via Bermuda. This is unconventional, but so is our trip.
Our route will continue to take us in the Portuguese trades, to the Canary Islands, Cape Verde, then on to Argentina, Chile, Cape Horn, and Patagonia. This is where we really want to sail away to and escape into the purity of nature. We hope to get there, but this trip is not easy.
Like you, before we left we also watched the inspiring videos of s/v Delos, Sailing La Vagabonde, Project Atticus, and Gone with the Wynns to name a few. We have to take a moment to thank those that have gone before, and we hope that we can inspire you like we were. We learned a lot about living off the grid in a tiny hope from their and other YouTube videos. We are happy you are watching ours.
Unlike some of the other new sailing channels, we are not just some hot bodies or sexy girls in bathing suits that don't know how to sail. We are experienced racing sailors that know how to get the best performance out of a boat, navigate in extreme conditions, and have lots of fun! So, we hope we don't have too many boat fails, and keep it all about a beautiful sailboat sailing at her best!
So, grab your coffee and sail across the ocean along with us as we conquer our biggest fear, the unknown of what lies ahead in our voyage. Welcome aboard!
Oh, and despite what the marketing says....you don't need a catamaran to go sailing and they are not as fast as you think (they are great party platforms though and we love it when our friends have one!!!! ;-)
