EP.76. 7-day sail to Antigua from Newport RI

We have a very fast sail to Antigua while avoiding storms as we leave Rhode Island towards the Gulf Stream. We chose our weather window based on Gulf Stream conditions and experience the typically rough seas across the Gulf Stream at this time of year, which seemed worse because of the pitch black night with a new moon,. After passing Bermuda, we have a mix of great sailing and becalmed motor sailing. This video chronicles boat life on board during our 7-day sail from Rhode Island to Antigua. 0:00 Intro 0:32 Gulf Stream crossing during pitch black night 1:34 Gulf Stream crossing as described by Lauren 04:22 Near approach to container ship 06:37 Shaking out the reef with our reef clip system 7:26 Boat life while motoring 8:12 Sargasso sea 8:32 Repair traveler 9:28 Mid-ocean swim 10:35 Lisa’s watch 12:26 Catching a Mahi Mahi 13:04 Ivan gives impression on Day 5 EPIDEMIC SOUND A Bitter Love - Sven Karlsson (Intro music) Not from here Dye-O At the rainbow’s end by LVGOON Gold among the Sand – Trevor Kowalski Lost in Atlantis – Smartface (end music)Gold
