ABANDONED TRIP ACROSS THE ATLANTIC - Caribbean to Azores

Our grand plan was a west-to-east crossing of the Atlantic, and we set sail with high hopes. Initially, everything was smooth sailing, but sometimes, sailing, like life, doesn't go according to plan. Our journey took an unexpected turn when we were battered by relentless rain and squalls. To make matters worse, our windvane broke—for the second time! With 2,200 nautical miles to the Azores and only 70 to return to St. Martin, the choice was clear. It's always better to face a delay than to tackle a major problem at sea. So, very disappointed, we turned back, getting drenched by a huge downpour on our return to St. Martin. We repaired the windvane, bought some new foul-weather gear, and found a better weather window. We set off again in the next video. *Thank You to all of you who support us in your different ways* ❤️ Please SUBSCRIBE, LIKE, and COMMENT as it really helps the channel and we love to hear from you😁😁 ➡️➡️ *FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM:* https://www.instagram.com/sailingnovavita/ ➡️➡️ *SEE OUR FACEBOOK PAGE:* https://www.facebook.com/SailingNovaVita ⬇⬇⬇⬇ *CLICK THE LINKS* to find excellent sailing-related items😁⬇⬇⬇⬇ Optimum Time Series 3 Sailing Watch ➜ https://amzn.to/3IOKAOo Optimum Time OS Series 14R Sailing Watch Sports Watch USB ➜ https://amzn.to/44NMKGs Sailing T-shirt ➜ https://amzn.to/4kNnHt2 Nautical Flags Enamel MUG ➜ https://amzn.to/41Nj35B FILMED with GoPro Hero8 Black ➜ https://amzn.to/3WaKjtE and SAMSUNG GALAXY A12 ➜ https://amzn.to/3zM6cTO 101 Tips for Stress Free Sailing (book) ➜ https://amzn.to/4adgfmf Logbook for cruising under sail (book) ➜ https://amzn.to/3CesrX3 Ruffnek Multifunctional HEADWEAR ➜ https://amzn.to/4fVQB6u MUSTO sailing HAT ➜ https://amzn.to/3YNaesE Cruising GUIDES ➜ https://amzn.to/40czQw0 IMAX Thermo Suit ➜ https://amzn.to/43czFUq Tech Wash WATERPROOFING ➜ https://amzn.to/3M2q2B1 SEAGO inflatable DINGHY ➜ https://amzn.to/3UHHjST Marine BINOCULARS ➜ https://amzn.to/3L3LBk7 Handheld VHF radio ➜ https://amzn.to/3N9A8kE Stanley THERMOS ➜ https://amzn.to/3MO3ZyL Small pressure COOKER ➜ https://amzn.to/4dyZv9G JIGGLE Syphon ➜ https://amzn.to/3zBHCoy GASKET PAPER ➜ https://amzn.to/3wYXXpu As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
