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! ⛵📍 If you would like to see our exact location you can check our Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/patandfrankie! #sailing #atlanticcrossing #caribbean #boatlife
