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

Hi from 𝗛𝐈, we are PAT and FRANKIE! We are living full-time on our sailing boat 𝗛𝐈 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! With no land in sight, we tackle the open sea in various conditions: upwind, downwind, and motoring. Experience life on our sailing boat as we navigate the Atlantic, handle night shifts, and put a potential crew member to the ultimate test. Will she/he rise to the challenge of a 2800nm journey in November? Watch to find out if she/he can handle the new situation and become part of our crew for the big adventure!
