SAILING Across The ATLANTIC OCEAN - 32 Days At Sea | ARRIVING In Martinique | Ep.47

[@livingin2worlds137]

I did an Atlantic crossing in 1977, long before GPS. It was amazing. My favorite thing was the swim in the middle of the ocean. I can relate to your joy.

[@SailingNohma]

Wow that must have been an amazing experience! Swimming in the middle of the ocean was definitely one of the best moments indeed. Thanks for watching!

[@nutsbutdum]

1:35 The look from the kids to dad trying to distract everyone from the huge waves behind is hilarious. "We know what you're doing dad"🤣🤣🤣

[@SailingNohma]

hahah you can't fool those kids 😄

[@dromurc]

2:20 The control system is wonderful .

[@rocksnowandwater]

I actually cried at the when you anchored. Thank you for sharing your adventure!

@@SailingNohma sorry i am new to your channel and dont know much about sea life/boats… honest question.. when your kids are swimming around.. how do u know that there arent any sharks nearby? Isnt it risky?

[@richardharvey3104]

There are reports of many Lagoons with cracked bulkheads. You might want to establish an inspection schedule to make sure you identify any issues early.

[@SailingNohma]

Only the 45’s seem to have this problem so we’re safe. Thanks!

[@richardharvey3104]

Never hurts to keep checking the bulkheads just in case.

[@SailingNohma]

I believe it’s not an easy thing to check 😅 And we were reassured by other owners that the design of the Lagoon 46 is completely different, because the mast is placed more to the back there shouldn’t be a problem for the bulkheads. But we’ll definitely keep it in mind. Thanks for your concern.

[@spharion7988]

Bravo, bravissimo!

[@SailingNohma]

Thanks!!

[@georgegarnet3516]

Good job guys! Beautiful sunsets and rough seas which we really enjoyed. In the same time don't be afraid to show us the troubles that you've been trough during the passage - getting see sick, feeling unwell, all your suffer, etc. All this will make your story much more real, we will sympathize and connect with you.

[@oldshipmatesadventures]

The experience of a lifetime. Your kids are blessed that their parents are open-minded and take on such an adventure! Congrats, I am jealous. :-) As myself a sailor too, but new to it (my second season here in Portugal, near Lisbon), I am also planning to make some longer trips in the coming years (Madeira, Azores). But this will require some more learning and a bigger boat, as I am currently sailing a tiny Jeanneau Sun 2000. I have subscribed and wish you a safe ongoing journey and more great adventures to come. Cheers, Frank

Hi Crew. Swimming in the middle of the ocean looked wonderful and what a memory for you all. From the cold of Europe to the warmth of the Martinique you lucky people. Where I am in GB it has been cold and damp so watching the sunsets and feeling the warmth through the camera has been a pleasure. The fish looked wonderful and I bet very tasty. Well done to you all now you can rest and go exploring. The long passage across the seas was well worth it . Waiting for next video .

That's because IN REALITY most kids HATE that lifestyle. They wanna play with friends, ride bikes, etc. I actually feel bad for MANY of these kids living this life BY FORCE way too early!! Robbed of a HOMELIFE..

@Louie Louie Here's what my kids have to say to your comment: 😃 Liam (11 yo): "I don't hate the life I have on the boat, I actually love it! There are some things I miss, but living on a boat is fantastic. We get to see many new and exciting places. We are not robbed of a homelife at all, we get to spend much more time with our parents than most children do." Sky (9 yo): " We meet new children to play with everywhere we go, but we could even do without friends because my bother and I have each other. And I love that I don't have to sit in school all day, so I have plenty of time to do fun stuff."

How are the plants coming allong? I heard sea salt mist affects some to grow.

The tomato plants grew a lot but didn't produce any tomatoes so we threw them out eventually, along with the herbs that all died. We only have the pinapple plant and the aloe vera left now, they got a real boost in Martinique.

What interests me is how to register a sailboat without an address. I mean, if you've been at sea for a year and you've got an address, you still have to pay for the apartment and then there are taxes and other things. Again, you no longer have an address (at the municipality of residence and you are deregistered from the state) can you not register a vehicle? Greetings.. Your Boat is great by the way

[@SailingNohma]

Thanks for watching! We registered the boat when we still lived on land. And even now that we live on the boat we still have an address on land for mail and taxes and stuff.

@@fa7842 That’s the beauty of today’s technology. You can be anywhere in the world and have a virtual office even in the middle of the ocean.

31 days isn't it too much? Why so much time? Anyway congrats!!

[@SailingNohma]

Most people don’t start the crossing in Portugal but stop in the Canary Islands or Cape Verde to avoid being at sea for such a long time. In total we did 3798 nautical miles so that means we had an average speed of 5 knots, maybe a bit slow but it makes sense since we had a few days without wind. Thanks for watching!!

[@Manguelana]

[@lolni8218]

32 jours ? C'est bien un Lagoon ! 🤣🤣

[@SailingNohma]

For this type of catamaran (no matter which brand) 32 days is a reasonable time if you sail straight from Portugal to Martinique without stopping in the Canaries or Cabo Verde. And considering we were pretty late in the season. How long did it take you on your boat?
