Day 5 of our Atlantic Crossing, and we officially hit 25% of the passage — a full quarter of the way across. Last night was rough: confused seas, swell from multiple directions, and a whole lot of rolling. None of us filmed because honestly… we were just hanging on. Today was a mix of tired crew, boat projects, and fixing Dingo’s ear (again). Jade built a new double-sided “steampunk” ear splint out of leftover plexiglass, Brett did a full deck check, we battled our confused solar numbers, gave the dogs baths, and tried to keep the boat happy on wing-on-wing. Oh—and none of our devices agree what time it is anymore. Not a dramatic day, but a real one. Just the middle-of-the-ocean rhythm: naps, soft shackles, fruit baskets, frozen grapes, messy seas, and the slow march westward.

DAY 4 of our Atlantic Crossing! Somewhere out here in the middle of the ocean, every clock onboard says something different… the chartplotter, our phones, our watches — none of them agree. So we’ve fully given up on “time” and are operating exclusively on vibes and timers (which we also forget to set 😅). This morning turned into a long, slow, peaceful watch with no wind, confused dogs, questionable oatmeal decisions, and a sunrise that made it all feel worth it. Later the wind finally arrived, the engine went off, and the whole crew slowly crawled back to life. Today’s highlights: • Trying to decode the dogs’ needs • A mini sailing lesson about apparent wind • The debate of “to fish or not to fish” • Passage pizza (!!) • Hair braiding traditions returning for Crossing #2 • My book-writing update • Big swells, small naps, and a very overdue Q&A If you have a question for the upcoming Q&A episode, drop it below!

Today had it all: our first clear night of stars, a pink jet-stream sunrise, experimenting with dog shoes on deck, lots of cooking, knot practice, laundry, calm seas, and our first big mahi mahi of the passage.

We’ve officially brought the old crew back together. Brett, Ayanna, me (Jade), plus our salty sea dogs Dingo and Penny — five souls, two days across the Atlantic, with about seventeen more to go before we reach the other side where Ayanna’s newly purchased boat is waiting for her. We’re uploading these videos in near real time from the middle of the ocean. As you watch this, we’re still somewhere out here on the deep blue, rolling with whatever today throws at us. No polished edits. No retakes. Just raw life at sea — sleep-deprived shifts, wing-on-wing sailing, dog ear surgeries, laundry strung across the cockpit, fishing attempts, spa day braids, DIY safety gear, and the daily dance with the weather. Today’s episode is a full window into what it really looks like to sail across an ocean with your best friends, your partner, and two adventure-loving pups.

The old crew is back together—Brett, Ayanna, and Jade plus Dingo and Penny—and we’ve officially begun our 20-day Atlantic crossing. As this uploads, we’re still out here somewhere on the deep blue, sending these daily videos almost in real time from the middle of the ocean. Day One was all about settling in: rough sleep, confused seas, a bit of seasickness, coffee, ring-removal drama, potatoes, nail care, dog cuddles, and easing ourselves back into the rhythm of passage life. It’s raw, unfiltered, and exactly what life at sea looks like before the groove sets in. Ayanna is on her way to meet her newly purchased boat on the other side, and we’re taking you along as ghost crew for every mile. 🐾 Crew: Jade, Brett, Ayanna, Dingo & Penny 🎥 Daily uploads from the Atlantic 💬 Drop your questions in the comments—we’ll pick one each episode for a mini Q&A.

We finally pushed off the dock in Las Palmas and officially started our Atlantic passage… sort of. After a full crew debate, we’re calling this Day Zero. Zero braids, zero chill, and zero idea why numbering days is so hard. 😅 In today’s episode: ⚓ Untying lines and saying emotional goodbyes ⚓ Fuel dock chaos + fender juggling ⚓ Dingo’s ear splint update (and the incredible splint guy who helped — linked below!) ⚓ Bottom cleaning, anodes, speed transducer drama ⚓ Seasickness hits HARD (thanks, Monsters…) ⚓ Safety checks, anchor setup, and those first Atlantic swells ⚓ First night watch, raising sails, and FINALLY turning off the engine ⚓ The moment it felt real: we’re actually doing this We’ve been grinding nonstop to make this departure window, and now that everything is ready, the nerves have shifted to excitement. The winds look good, spirits are climbing, and we are officially on our way toward the Caribbean. 🌊✨ Aiyana also has HUGE news...she just became a boat owner! And we’re hoping to make landfall before Christmas so she can pick up her new home on the water. Thank you all for being here from Day Zero of this crossing. ❤️ Let’s sail an ocean. 🌊Go Follow Aiyana! @PiratePrincessChronicles 🌎 FOLLOW OUR CROSSING LIVE PredictWind Tracker: https://www.predictwind.com/tracking/EvaSailing08282023?3DIcons=true 🐕 DOG EAR SPLINT HERO If your pup ever gets aural hematoma issues, here’s the specialist who helped us: https://www.Auralsplint.org Want to see more about our new Dinghy?!

Going to therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. My sponsor BetterHelp makes therapy simple, with 10% off your first month to help you get started: https://betterhelp.com/evans The day before our Atlantic crossing didn’t go as planned. With the clock ticking, we tried to finish the last repairs, pick up old receipts for the engine rebuild, provision for a month at sea, deal with a surprise dog issue, and get the boat ready for departure. It was supposed to be simple. It wasn’t. In this pre-departure episode Day Minus 1, we bring the boat back to life after dock life, reunite with the crew, and try to turn a long list of problems into a boat capable of crossing an ocean. From chasing paperwork around Las Palmas to finding out our VHF doesn't work, it’s a full day of scrambling before the calm we hope to find offshore. In this episode: • Engine and generator prep • Sorting paperwork and old repairs • Provisioning for 30 days at sea • Dog care and vet visits • Last-minute fixes and organizing the boat • Reuniting with the crew after time apart This series follows our full Atlantic passage—start to finish—as we sail west from the Canary Islands and document the real, unpolished experience of preparing a sailboat for an ocean crossing.

First off, I AM going to be okay! But we unfortunately do have some lame, sad news to share about my health. Now that we finally have real answers and action plans, I'm ready to open up about it. I have a serious post-viral complication from covid called Cervical Spinal Instability -feel free to Google it, but in a VERY simplified explanation, my brain stem is getting squished, and many of my major nerves like the vagus nerve etc are being compressed. It causes all kinds of problems, as you can imagine. And it's progressive as the tendons and ligaments continue to damage and weaken. The fix is to have a spinal fusion, to fuse my skull to my top two neck vertebrae. There is an experimental stem cell procedure that we are looking into trying first. I'm very sad and frustrated about it but after getting the diagnosis, I've been able to start managing symptoms with chiropractic care and PT and I'm already feeling immensely improved. I'm hopeful that this means my body is responding well and that the alternative therapies will work to heal my body so that I won't need the surgery. We started sailing a couple of weeks ago with the help of David and Holly, who are great friends of ours. They're heaven sent no doubt and getting moving again has really lifted our spirits. Not included in the video is the news that Brett's dad has recently been diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukemia. Things have been hard here in the Evans' household! We don't know what comes next for us but we are happy to be on the water and FILMING again. Filming is genuinely such a great thing for us, it keeps us in the moment and really encourages us to focus on the good and after such a long period of self isolation we are definitely aching to connect again. Thank you for being our reason to get up and get going again. With love, Jade @ExpeditionEvans @ExpeditionEngineering My symptoms for the curious: All these symptoms began appearing over the last year with the first showing up just after having a bad case of Covid that caused my eardrum to rupture. The symptoms progressed exponentially Shivers up the spine (very frequently) sometimes feels like electric shock Electrical or ozone-like taste when neck, back, or shoulder pops Metallic Taste in the back of my throat -Peripheral vision loss -Darkness and blurring -Ink drops appeared later -occasionally things appear distorted or curved Complete Vision loss for a few seconds upon standing - dizziness / falling Numbness of right eye and right side of face Hearing is muted in right ear + popping and crackling Car sickness!? (I’ve never had motion sickness before!!) Intense facial pain + tension on the right side. Tension pain Jaw clicks when opened Sensitivity to light Restless leg or random leg kicks Itching + Histamine Sensitivity Muscle knot at the base of the skull on the right side Unilateral Symptoms (right side) Intense nerve pain on right side of body Pain and inflammation on right side Joints feel “out of place” Time dilation / disassociation Intense pain at base of neck Migraines everywhere in head Symptoms improve when horizontal Stuck in "fight or flight" but in my body rather than emotions. My body feels stressed Clumsy fine motor skills That's all I can think of right now but that's a pretty good list of my main symptoms. All were very light and minor and got worse with time **************************************** Come join the party! https://www.patreon.com/expeditionevans Go follow the build! https://youtu.be/cubHo0S9ddQ **************************************** If you came here looking for our Amazon links, you're a special kind of awesome human.

This week the country of Spain was plunged into darkness. Without electricity for half a day, and far reaching effecting into Portugal, France and Andorra. That calamity came just days after our very first, and hopefully very last, boat fire onboard SV Eva. Luckily some people around us toon swift action and got our attention before any significant damage was done to us or anyone surrounding. But what does this have to do with solar?! Well, everything!
