In three hours, I set off on my third Atlantic crossing. We will stop in the Cape Verde Islands, catch our breath and then set off again on 19th November for Grenada.

I remember my first crossing like it was yesterday. I was so wet behind the ears, with a Day Skipper qualification and no idea at all really. This one, my first on a 50 year old classic monohull, is really going to be an adventure…

I'll be off grid for a week or so until we get to Mindelo. I can't wait to get my paints out again!

See you in the sunshine!
