In December I crossed the Atlantic from the Canary Islands to Barbados on a friends Lagoon 380. For the first 2000 miles or so we had calms or very light winds and so fellow crew member Erick could fly his drone. After a while you don't notice the swells when on board, it's just a gentle rocking motion. Even when the wind picked up there were none of the "mountainous seas" beloved by the media!

We've done one or two of these before in different places. You just let others know it's happening and go sit out in the anchorage for people to show up. Bring snacks and drinks and hang out. We learned a couple of things: There is good snorkeling/diving on the other end of the anchorage. There is a boat here that converted their engines to full electric and we can go visit it to hear what they did. And we got a ton of information on places we might sail to next year including Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. Put one together, always a good time!
Reason 96 for converting an old sailboat into a solar electric liveaboard. 🌞 Why rush? On a solar electric boat, going slow is the secret superpower. Cruise at chill speeds → solar panels keep up in real time, batteries stay happy, range goes forever. No wake, no noise, just you, the water, and nature’s soundtrack. Less speed = more peace, more wildlife spotting, more magic moments. Slow it down to live it up. ⛵✨ #SolarBoat #GoSlow #ElectricBoating #SolarPowerLife #ChillCruising
