And we're off! ? Today marks the start of our passage across the Atlantic to the Caribbean. Light winds made for a slow start, but nature put on a show-dolphins, small whales, and even turtles, some swimming upside down! We checked to make sure they were okay, and luckily, they were. With the wind dying, we'll be motoring through the night, but a big highlight was testing our spinnaker setup for the first time. Now, about 800 nautical miles to go until our first stop in Cabo Verde! ??

Day 2 on our Atlantic Crossing. We had very relaxed conditions and were able to unpack our spinnaker again. It's really impressive, especially when there are also some dolphins around ? And we were also rewarded with a bonito, which we used straight away as sushi. Delicious ? And it was even so relaxed that we were able to play games. Let's see what the second night brings. ?

? Last night, the wind picked up and shifted direction, so we switched to a wing-on-wing setup-but then snap-our first pole broke! Luckily, we have a second one, and since then, we've been making great progress at around 7.5 knots in 20-30 knots of wind. The best part? Dolphins every single day! And thanks to Frankie's amazing cooking, we're eating well too. The crew is getting used to the shifts and the confused seas-spirits are high out here! #sailing #oceanlife #adventure #atlanticcrossing #atlantic
