Live Update: Day 2 Atlantic Crossing (Patreon)

Hi Guys!

The guys started off the trip with a fishing bang! Well, maybe more like a fishing blip ;) They caught this little guy yesterday and threw 'em back. 

They had a good day yesterday, and the night was pretty calm. It was a pretty tiring day for them today. However, that's similar to how Mads and I usually feel at the start of a passage. We are usually a bit tired on day two while we are still trying to get used to the boat's motion and adjust to the watch schedule. Then around day three/four, we are ready to rock 'n roll (pun intended). 

Right now, the sails are up, and the engine is off. They have about 18 knots of wind and are going about 7 knots. I think that's pretty impressive for big 'ol Athena ;)

I just talked to Mads, and Starlink is still working! He wanted me to let you all know he'll send a video tomorrow and is looking forward to letting you know how the first few days have gone :)

If you guys have any burning questions about the passage along the way, let me know below, and I can send them to Mads :)

See you for tomorrow's update!

Wind in the sails from yesterday :)
