72 hours of #boatlife at sea: crossing the Atlantic with a novice sailor? | EP27

Hi from ??, we are PAT and FRANKIE! We are living full-time on our sailing boat ?? and sail around the world in search of a new home? Join us on an exhilarating 72-hour test sail around the Canary Islands as we prepare for an epic Atlantic crossing!
