21 Days, that's how long our passage across the Atlantic Ocean was. With a couple of major events along the way (Christmas, NY and the birthday of on of our crew) the passage was rather pleasant. While the company was good it was unfortunate that the Atlantic had such an uncomfortable ride in store for us. We spent the first 10 days trying to find the trade winds with consistent swells and wind that didn't continuously shift every 3 hours, unfortunately they were more than difficult to find and our journey consisted of confused swells up to approx. 6-10m and gusty wind between 20 and 30 knots.
Overall the crossing was an experience and if we hadn't caught a 30kg King Mackerel it would have been far worse. As Antigua came into view there were a number of deep breaths of relief but it has been an achievement none the less. Below are a few photos of our crossing.......
