SAILING the ATLANTIC OCEAN - PT1- Leaving MINDELO, CAPE VERDE

We set sail from Mindelo, Cape Verde, on an exciting journey across the Atlantic Ocean to Martinique. But from the start, things didn't go as planned. It takes days to settle into the rhythm of ocean life-when everything goes smoothly. And for us? It didn't. This is Part 1 of our wild Atlantic crossing story-where challenges hit hard, and the adventure truly begins. Stay tuned as we begin to notice things starting to go wrong? ?? *Thank You to all of you who support us in your different ways* ??
