TransAtlantic - Cooking at Sea in Foul Weather | Ep 277

This time on Distant Shores we make a 2-week passage across the Atlantic Ocean, a first-time experience for our crew members, Noel and Tracey. Along the way we show how we deal with squalls and handle meal preparation as the yacht rolls in large seas on this challenging east to west transatlantic crossing. #transatlanticcrossing #gnespace #foulweather 00:00 Introduction and summary of episode 00:45 Previously on Distant Shores 01:03 Meeting the crew in the Canary Islands and passage to Cape Verde 01:35 Arrival in Mindelo, Cape Verde Islands. 02:20 Provisioning and preparation at Mindelo Marina. 03:43 Setting sail for the Caribbean from Mindelo, Cape Verde 06:47 Description and demonstration of our downwind rig 07:56 Tracey makes quesadillas during squalls, dinner in the pilot salon 12:50 Time change, Halfway Point, Sheryl makes Lemon Baked Salmon 14:21 Homemade tortillas and raman noodles to the rescue in rolling seas 15:40 Preparing for, cooking for and handling 35 knot winds! 20:05 Lighter winds, rainbows and steak for dinner 21:25 Reefing for passing squalls and "wind vane" mode on autopilot for wind shifts 22:54 Headsets, inflatable pfd's and tethers 23:31 Landfall in Martinique 24:40 Arrival celebrations and the crew's impression of the crossing 28:11 Invitation to sail with us too 28:18 Final Credits ⛵️ Our Boat: Enksail Orion 49 aluminum sailboat with variable-draft swing-keel https://distantshores.ca/about-us/the-boats/ ⛵️Yacht Manufacturer: Enksail Yachts / Gebroeders van Enkhuizen Yachtbuilding https://enksail.gebrvanenkhuizen.nl/en/ 🏝️ Sail with Us in the Tropics This Winter!
