Atlantic Crossing: West to East - what it takes to cross an ocean

This is a fascinating episode with lots of great insights and experience shared!

Sailing across the Atlantic Ocean is a demanding undertaking! In this episode we discuss the preps and plans for a West to East crossing with two sailors, who recently made the passage. We discuss what they were thinking about before departure, the projects they did, the weather planning and routing decisions, the watch systems, maintaining morale plus managing the boat and a family of 5!

We got our life raft re inspected a year ago in Grenada, which was a really great process. They inflated it and they let us see it and get in it with the kids, and talked about the order of operations if you were using the life raft, like who goes first, who goes second, what does that process look like and getting extra water jugs or what else needs to be part of your ditch kit that wasn't in the life raft itself. That was really eye opening, helpful, and it was really good for the kids to be able to get in it and see what that would look like. – Jillian
