Fantastic trip for a 85 yr old to take through you. I am in our basement experiencing your venture. Greetings from John in Indianapolis Indiana.
That's so nice to hear! Thanks a lot!
One of the best sailing ⛵️ video and that bird was lucky one lol
Thanks so much!! 😃
I did 116 days offshore in 2004. I was part of an ROV crew, on a survey ship in the Persian Gulf. It was during Ramadan, so no crew changes as immigration was closed for the holidays. I think that was still easier than doing 32 days on a 46ft boat. At least I was busy, and got 12 hours off for food and sleep!
wow, that's a very long time as well. Being on a 46ft boat for 32 days was more than enough indeed 😄 But it was definitely an unforgettable experience
Amazing and unforgettable adventure. Memories for a lifetime. Thank you so much for for posting your incredible journey! Cheers!
Thank you David, for watching!!
I give you a like and subscription because as someone who loves animals i really like the fact that you gave that pigeon water and food.
Thanks a lot!! We try to help where we can.
Wow I’m jealous such an awesome adventure, those kids are troopers.
Living their best life 😃 Thanks for watching!
Brave and Couragious, I read below loads of caring comments for safety! I was born below sealevel on The Gulf of Mexico, so needless to say I love it when anyone takes this epic challenge to cross. Broadsides hits are more common than most people realize! Cats can give a false sense of stability, so many here have given excellent adives and suggestions! I can only say the wonder of nature has an addiction and it needs balance! Be well and know that so many in the comments truly care for your family to have the best of the best sailing experiences! As do I. Thank you for the additional load of work to produce these videos! For me these videos are wonderful, as now I am landlocked in the mountains of Italy! Have an epic life and be well and know so many here support your adventures!
Thanks a lot for your care and advice!
Thx for not putting on RUclips music the entire time, nice to have a break & hear the sounds of the waves & boat 😊
That’s nice to hear! Thanks for watching!!
Hermoso comentario Te felicito piensas igual que yo odio esa música tétrica que ponen en el fondo cuando marcan un video
My first time watching, looking forward to seeing your journey.
Thanks for watching Debby!!
Another great job, guys! We'll be watching you and keeping fingers crossed for you! Bon voyage...
Thanks a lot George!!
Hello again and will continue to follow you on your journeys.. your voice is very calming and reverberates not only to all on board but to viewers watching..
God Bless
Hello Brian, happy to see you again here! Thank you for your nice comment!!
very nice children will never forget this trip and they will become sailors too, thank u
Thank you! We are very happy we get to share this experience with our kids. They will definitely learn a lot from these adventures.
sailing across oceans takes a lot of prep and knowledge...awesome crossing so far ..
Thank you!!
I'm loving every moment of your journey. It's real!🤞👍💪💪
Thanks you so much!!
Well that was enjoyable. I get the feel of the motion on the boat. Glad you all feeling good. Yes some bad days but it look mostly fun. Boy,s and Lego leads to a happy deck crew . Can’t wait for next video. Well done all .
Thanks a lot David!!
Wonderful video! So amazing and beautiful sailing the ocean, and loved the details of the voyage. Stay safe and thank you for sharing your amazing adventures! ❤️
Thank you so much!!
One who dares wins the fun ! Well done & well inspiring to all sailing enthusiasts. Many Happy returns of adventures 👍
Thanks a lot!!
Excellent narrative skills. I enjoyed it so much. Thank you and have a safe passage!
Thank you so much, your comment makes me very happy! 😃
Amazing sailing looking forward for the next video, it's good you didn't stop in the Canary Islands I think it's going to be a waste of time. Thank you for helping the birds it was very nice of you.
Thank you!!
What an experience for these kids!!! So lucky they lived that... I am so happy for them!!!
I was wondering, is it really so beneficial for them? I heard that children have to be actively moving for 1 1/2 hours a day. I don't think that's really possible for them
@Antispiritanimal You are right, they didn't get the necessary physical activity they need during the ocean crossing. But in our opinion the amazing experience they got was worth more. And whenever we are not sailing they definitely get enough exercise. They swim and play in the water for more than an hour every day, they walk a lot (because we don't have a car and need to do everything on foot) and we participate in all sorts of activities that are organised by the cruisers community wherever we are, like water aerobics, freediving, hikes, ...
@@SailingNohma You're right, and I'm sorry. They do look very well looked after and I'm sure they're as healthy as you all look. I was just thinking of my past winter in home office, where my whole body was aching from laying and sitting around all day. But still, I'm sure two children exercise way more even on a relatively small boat.
No problem at all. I totally understand your concern. The days we can’t get off the boat we feel just like you did in your home office 😅
The boat creaking and flexing is intoxicating. Just like fine wine or sweet music. 😄😄😄😄😄😄
I found it a bit scary at first but soon got used to it 😅
Stands to reason. Flex is needed, just like an aero plane, bridge or anything else . Great vids. Thank you.
Ça fait du bien de vous revoir !! Belle traversée en famille en toute décontraction !
Merci François!! We miss you and Cathy out here!! 😘
Congratulations, looks like everything is under control!
Thanks!!
You and your family are living a Wonderful life, how I envy you. Fair winds hope to follow your next video. From Thailand.
I'm so glad I came across your channel. I can tell it's a lot of work, but worth it!

Thanks Richard! The boys are loving most of our adventures. Only the first days on the ocean without internet took some adapting 😄
@@SailingNohma. Eventually, we will have Elon Musk's "STARLINK" from satellites and the boys will have internet anywhere. 😃🙂✌️
Wonderful video. Wonderful family. Awesome adventure!!

Thank you!!
this boat is incredible
A great video thanks for sharing 😀😀👍🏻👍🏻⛵️⛵️
Thanks Ian!!
Did this same trip Portugal to Florida about 1.5 years ago in a friend's Neel 47 Trimaran. The one sole observation is we went farther south along the African coast in order to reap the full benefits of the wind coming off the Sahara. Very pretty catamaran, and in case you haven't gotten the memo yet CHECK YOUR BULKHEADS while it's still under warranty (especially the main bulkhead). Don't start ripping off trim, and paneling like everybody is doing. Find an inspector with the latest in RF scanning technology that can see through walls. It's better to be safe than sorry.
Wow a Neel trimaran, we would love to sail one of those someday. We started heading west sooner than planned due to the wind conditions at the moment. Sailing is all about adapting to the circumstances, right?
Oh we sure got that memo, more than once 😅 But thanks for the tip on the scanning technology.
Please lets us see you prepare your meals too every vid ☺️. Love from Philippines ❤️❤️❤️
We'll keep it in mind for future videos. Thanks for watching!
I took several sailing courses in college and one thing that was pounded into us over and over was safety, so I hope you don't mind my saying that when sailing any large body of water, especially in choppy or windy conditions I would recommend everyone wear a floatation device and an automatically activated MOB signalling device. This is of most importance at night when others are asleep and might not be aware someone has gone missing. Even during the day, in choppy waters it can be impossible to sight anyone who has gone overboard, even if they are nearby.
You mentioned the boat getting hit by a wave big enough to toss you across the galley, those type of waves are a danger 24/7 and everyone should be prepared for another. Another similar example is what happened to the Wynns in their recent crossing from Tonga to New Zealand where a big than usual wave tore off the locker mounted underside of the boat, which held their lifeboat, goodby locker and lifeboat, hello large hole in the middle of their deck. They were still days from land. Lucky for them the weather wasn't worse those last several days. They were very lucky as the flimsy locker cover left an opening facing into the salon and wasn't built to stop a wave when it hit so every few seconds water came gushing into the back seating area.
Another safety measure is to add netting along the side railing. It could prevent one of the kids, or you, from sliding off the deck and into the water. The existing railings are only a basic aid.
In a storm anyone on deck should be tethered to the boat. Twice, in bad weather, our instructors took our class out and went over all of this. Having first hand experience in bad weather was an excellent lesson I will never forget even all these years later.
The first day of Beginning Sailing class a student made a mistake while the instructor had their back to them. They were on a Lido 14 and the student tipped the boat because she hadn't followed instructions. Both the student and teacher ended up in the water. The water destroyed an expensive watch the student had just gotten as a present the previous day. This was a perfect example that even the most experienced sailor can be caught off-guard.
You are totally right. We have always worn our life vests when moving around during the night and on rough seas. And we have now started wearing them all the time when we’re sailing also during the day and in milder conditions. It might not be in the next episodes yet because we are running behind but you’ll definitely see us properly wearing our life vests in the future. Thanks for your concern and advice!!
Cool.
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Thanks a lot!
Amazing adventure! greetings from the Netherlands
Awesome job 👏 👍
Thanks Larry!!
fantastic vlog , loved it ☺🥰
Thanks so much!! 😃
I enjoyed that. Fair winds .
Thanks a lot Lowell
Magnifique voyage 🎉❤
Merci!!
That's funny, In the middle of the ocean and the dang bird still find you, all just to get a snack and take a dump. You were Blessed. Safe travels. :)
Indeed 😄 That's one bird we won't forget very soon. Thanks for watching again Gibb!!
Nice to see ya'll had a good trip. Can't wait for the next video.
So until then Aloha and Mahalo from the Big Island 🏝of Hawaii. 🏝
Thanks a lot!! Sure hope to sail to Hawaii some day.
@@SailingNohma If ya'll do you have a place to stay. My wife is a Great cook and the views from our lanai is to die for. We can have some fresh pineapple 🍍 and some Rum or Beer 🍺 and watch ⌚ the sunset 🌇.
Ooooh thank you!! That’s so nice! We’ll remember that if we ever decide to sail to Hawaii 😃
That was cool. should have written a little note with your channel info and sent it with him...
Hahaaa that’s a great idea. Too bad we didn’t think about it then.
Fascinating but I think I would be nervous wreck. Thanks. Dramamine helps
Adventure fun 😁💘😁
It was an unforgettable experience 😃
filmed well! liked the picture
Thank you!!
Another interesting episode - I did not see your dog this time, or maybe not with you for this trip? Amazing how the pigeon found you in the expanse and then left after a couple of meals and a drink. Looking forward to the next video.
Thank you!! I guess that was one lucky pigeon 😄
We had to say goodbye to our dog before we left. She was seriously ill and eventhough we tried everything we possibly could we weren't able to save her life. We miss our lovely girl a lot!! 😢
I love these sailing videos. And I totally respect the people that sail. Especially across oceans!
Personally....I would never get on a sail boat. No way! Not as long as there are motor boats available.
Thank you!! The power of the wind is for free 😉
You don't know what you're missing. Even day sails are super fun.
Also ease the main traveller down to leeward and secure boom fwd to leeward bow cleat.
New sub, love the channel. Hello from Ireland.
Thanks a lot!!
What an AMAZING video! I was engaged the entire time! By any chance, you have videos of you reefing the main while sailing those high winds? Would Love to see how you handle it! Thanks!!!
Love your channel just subscribed
Thanks a lot!!
Great video - thankk you for taking us along on the journey. Looking foward to part 2. Can I ask if the kids using safety ropes or lifejackets when they are out on the deck?
Thank you! They wear life vests out on the deck, and when the waves are high they stay inside.
Congratulations!!! What an amazing journey, on a beautiful boat, and an exceptional sailing skills! How much did this trip cost? Did you have sponsors? Best of luck!
Thank you! No sponsors, we're just a family living and working on the water.
im in sydney love the journey guys xxxx
Thanks a lot!!
Good documental, well intresting.
Regards from Puerto Cabello, Venezuela.
Thank you!!
Loves, activate the caption for us Gratitude.
Great journey, i'm your new subscriber..
Keep it up..
Thanks a lot!!
Autopilot usually goes off if you are using checkpoint / no drift mode. So much safer to use only normal heading only autopilot. Known problem for the last 5 years :)
Thanks for the tip!!
Lol a sea pigeon
😂😂
Subscribed!
Thanks a lot!!
Also tack the gennaker to the bow of the windward hull.
Thanks a lot for the tips!!
good channel
Thanks!!
I bet it is it is very beautiful in magical out there but then I would think that you would feel at certain times enough is enough it looks like y'all got everything under control and having a great journey across thanks for the share
There were some magical and less magical moments, but that's probabely true for every journey anyone ever takes. Thanks for watching James!!
Nice! Just a note, ease the jib traveller down to leeward.
Hope the captain knows what he’s doing. Precious cargo on board,
Thanks Jorge, he sure does... If you watch some of our newer videos you'll see he sailed us safely to the other side and much further by now. 🥰
How to keep two boys occupied for a trans Atlantic voyage? Lego for the win!
Thanks for watching! Lego and a lot of movies 😄
At 12:02, was that a fish or dolphin that jumped? Beautiful trip. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!! If I remember correct, it was a dolphin.
Does your catamaran have any stabilizers or is the draft too shallow for them? Also, was great to see all those dolphins around your boat! Nice!!!
We have 1.30 meters draft, no stabilizers besides our two mini keels. It's always amazing to see dolphins when we're out sailing, those are magical moments. Thanks for watching!
One trick you might try to prevent seasickness is to put an earplug in only one ear. It might work better in left or right ear depending on if the person is left or right handed.
Thanks. I had read that already somewhere. Only had the chance to try it once so far and it seemed to work, but since I don’t get sick all the time I’m not sure yet it was because of the earplug. But I’m definitely going to keep testing this trick.
👍👍👍👍👍
It is Always a plaisure to see your adventure.
Why didn't you make a stop in the Canary islands or at the cabo Verde ?
Thank you @JHK!! We didn't feel like taking extra Covid tests and having to quarantaine to be able to stop along the way, and we were just to excited to arrive in the Caribbean as soon as possible 😄
Legos in a boat? Sheesh that’s bold lol
hahaaa, stepped on a lot of them already, so not the best idea. 😂
😊
Where there birds in the middle of the ocean??? And from where this pigeon came out from!!! I was really surprised!!!
Actually birds can rest on top of water... Just ask nemo.. The bird was in the middle of ocean when the shark detonate the bomb
Great videography. USS Carl Vinson Ship's Company 1984 - 85, 7th Fleet Pacific deployment.
Thank you Jonathan!!
They sell marine heated cooking pots. They pivot with the wave motion.
That might make the cooking easier indeed, but still I don't like cooking on high seas. I once fell over backwards because of a wave with a hot tray of buns fresh out of the oven, lucky I didn't burn myself. I can only imagine what might happen when dropping a pot of hot water for example. Might be better to prepare the food when the conditions are mild 😉
@@SailingNohma I guess its best to serve out of the pivoting cooking pot directly into a eating bowl and not try to transfer to a secondary larger bowl.
Does it make sense to make the own bread on board?
I'm wondering ... cause that could mean to store wheat, making more food of the space available....?
One would need a bread maker, water, and oven, some corns or nuts...
I think that muesli bars are also a great product for snacks
and they take less space...
By that one could have a 3 month reserve...just in case!
Various types of tastes and forms....Proteins, Ect too.
We baked a lot of bread ourselves while crossing, don't need a bread maker for that. And we also had stocked up on power bars, mainly to put in the emergency grab bag. Thanks for watching!
Awesome keep up the good vlog's..
Thank you!! 😁
Why not a wind vane stay on course better than autopilot too . Good trip 👌
Because we don't have one and the autopilot came with the boat 😉 But we'll consider it, thanks!
👍👏👏
👍🥇
Cheers!
I would get the kids to do some fishing. May be watch a few movies...etc..
Ooh they did, they watched a lot of movies 😄
Hello :) I hope you are all ok :) as a curiosity, how do you get internet or TV during the passage?
Thank you!!
We could send emails and text messages with our iridiumGo but we had no internet to watch tv or play games. We downloaded movies and series before we left. And the kids made sure they had some offline games to play on the Ipad. It was hard for them the first days but they adapted fast and had fun playing with Lego and board games.
Always enjoying your videos! Are you still in Martinique?
Thanks Thierry. Yes, but not for long anymore 😀
@@SailingNohma Are you going back to Belgium during the cyclon season? I saw Sven question on L46 owners FB group asking advices to remove humidity in your boat when not in...
Only for a few weeks to visit family and friends. 😁
@@SailingNohma Enjoy your trip back in Europe! Where do you plan to go next after Martinique?
By the way, our L46 will now be out of factory in 2 weeks!! We will be hull #247. Her name will be "Sail Away".
Oooooh that’s so exciting!! Enjoy!!
And keep watching to see where we go next 😉 or you might read it in the L46 FB group first 😄
Fish jumps out of the water at 12:00 next to his finger
wow! Well spotted! We hadn't even seen that yet.
Will you be living on the boat for a long time or just traveling? What do you work ? Just found your chanel and I am interested.
Our plan is to live on the boat for as long as we can, or feel like.
Meanwhile we can do most of our work for our business in Belgium over the internet. Thanks for watching!!
@@SailingNohma thanks for the answer, will be looking forward to see your adventures.
Did you have to take crew on the crossing so insurance would cover you due to being relatively new to sailing and passage making?
No, our insurance didn't have such requirements. Thanks for watching our video!!
