Have you ever sailed across the Atlantic? I didn’t, and I never realized that was something people do until Leander told me about it.
Now, more than a year after he first mentioned it to me, he actually did it. He sailed from the south of Portugal to Saint Martin. And that while for most of the trip he didn’t pay a single cent.
Quite impressive I’d say!
It turned out to be a journey with high highs and deep lows. From waves the size of houses and being so seasick he couldn’t move, to the tranquility without technology in between the deep blue for days on end.
