It’s finally time to cross the Atlantic. All the lights are green, Tiboulen hoists the sails as it leaves the port of Mindelo, sailing alongside three other Jeanneau boats from different generations. ⛵ For most of the crossing, Sail for Tomorrow were on the same tack (port tack at 150° to the wind), with the same sail configuration (wing-on-wing, genoa poled out), and more or less the same speed (5.7 knots on average). The crew experienced some incredible moments during this crossing. Fishing was a highlight, halfway through, they crossed paths with one of the three Jeanneau sailing boats. They will remember all those sunsets, the open ocean offers breathtaking sights. 🌅 Once they reach Martinique, they will meet the primary school class in Tartane that has been following their adventures. ✨ _________________________________________________________________ For more than 60 years, Jeanneau has passionately supported those who love the sea with their quest for happiness and excitement on all the oceans, with the aim of making boating accessible to all. Our strength lies in innovation and the optimal functionality of our #sail and #powerboats.

Dopo un paio d'ore circa di navigazione, riusciamo anche ad andare a vela con 18/20 nodi di poppa, passa sopra le nostre teste un fronte temporalesco, in lontananza una tromba marina prende forma, ci organizziamo subito, chiudiamo le vele, rizziamo meglio il tender e la passerella appoggiata ai candelieri sul ponte, via la canna da pesca e tutti gli imbarazzi nel pozzetto, serriamo le cime addugliate sui verricelli e prepariamo le lame del tambuccio per chiudere prima che di riempire la barca di acqua salata. Siamo pronti al peggio, ma la tromba marina si dissolve... sospiro di sollievo che dura poco. Infatti un'altra è in formazione proprio davanti a noi, stavolta anche più grande, noi siamo già pronti, penso di accelerare la velocità della barca per avere una inerzia maggiore, e prevalere con l'impatto della tromba marina in modo da uscirne dall'altra parte più velocemente possibile! Tremila giri, quasi otto nodi di velocità e lei è davanti a noi a meno di mille metri!! Cambio ancora rotta, ma sembra che ovunque metta la prua, lei riesca a starci davanti, adesso è leggermente a dritta avanza verso terra e l'angolo con la nostra rotta non cambia, siamo in rotta di collisione! Stiamo solo aspettando, secondi!! Ma se è vero che ognuno di noi ha un angelo custode, il mio è intervenuto anche stavolta, a meno di 500 metri si dissolve, sembra sollevarsi verso l'alto come se fosse un genio della lampada che torna all'interno della sua casa, stavolta verso l'alto però! Paura o timore di far danni? Tutto passato.
