TOUGH mini atlantic OCEAN crossing on a 33 ft sailboat - Sailing from Lagos to Madeira - episode 17

Описание: Our first mini crossing over the Atlantic Ocean is a tough and rough one. We are sailing from Lagos to Madeira (Porto Santo). It is a mini crossing because it is only 541 NM. We knew there would be 3,5 meters of waves out there and we wanted to test ourselves. Well we got the full experience. It was tough! Short steep waves gave us speeds up to 11 knots. Bart loved it after a short period of being seasick. Kim was very anxious! We made some epic drone footage about the island.

Thank you for watching.

We are Bart, Kim and Liz and we are sailing around the world!

We met on a sailing school (Zeilschool de Veenhoop) in the Netherlands, where we were both sailing instructors. We were both in love with sailing and soon after we were in love with each other ;)
After a lot of traveling and rental boats we decided to buy our own sailing yacht. In 2018 we became the proud owners of 'Tranquillity' a Scanmar 33 foot sailing vessel built in Sweden in 1985! Not really a blue water cruiser but a small, tiny and sturdy boat and we love her!

After 3 years of sailing holidays we decided to take the big step and plan to start sailing the world. Minor hick-up we became parents on 19-02-2019 of Liz!

This channel will be all about sailing, refit a sailboat, sailing with a child (todler), planning to sail the world, crossing the atlantic ocean, the pasific ocean and of course our life when we are cruising around the world on our tiny sailboat.
