Getting Athena ready for the Atlantic (Patreon)

Hi guys :) 

This video was recorded between November 21st and November 26th.

We got Athena all sorted for the Atlantic crossing; everything is sorted and organized. The engine is serviced, and we got the bulk of the provisioning out of the way. 

That is very fortunate because, in real-time news, we might be leaving mainland Europe tomorrow, heading to the Canary Islands. It's a 600 NM passage and should take us about five days. The weather looks a bit "meh" we should have one day of nice westerlies, two days of no wind, and then most likely headwinds for the remainder of the passage. From what we have heard from other boats, Starlink should work the entire way to the Canary Islands. If that is true, then we'll post a few video updates and keep you guys in the loop :) As always, our live satellite tracker is here: https://share.garmin.com/saillife

We will make the "go / no go" decision tomorrow morning around 7:30 when we get the latest forecast, but this looks like our best option. Please cross your fingers :) 

Thank you so much for your support! We hope you have a fantastic weekend :)
