We have left the Mediterranean behind on our crossing adventure!

After our departure from Genoa, we've sailed along the French coast in challenging  wind conditions. With winds ranging from 20 to 30 knots we've kept  an average speed of 12 knots and enjoyed  Cape Arrow surfing up to a maximum speed of 16.5 knots.

The intense sailing carried on with a challenging night that required sail changes, reefing, squalls with strong rains and cold!

The following day has been milder and we enjoyed a sunny day of close-hauled navigation. Another challenging night welcomed us to the Alboran Sea with strong winds blowing from the West around 25-40 knots. We've been sailing conservatively close to the coast until sighting the Gibraltar rock on Tuesday afternoon.

The last gift of the Mediterranean Sea to Cape Arrow was a delicious 5 kilos Tuna that didn't see the day after!

Yesterday we left the strait and a striking red moon on our shoulders welcomed us and Cape Arrow in  the Atlantic waters.

As the wind blows strongly backward on our straight itinerary to the Caribbean, we've decided to take the direction to Tenerife.

There is still a sparkling air but the sun is shining and we are looking forward to take off our oilskins soon and put our brand new t-shirts and bermuda shorts on!

It's all for this moment from North Atlantic !  Stay tuned!
