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.
Prachtig …genoten van jullie video…in de ban geraakt van jullie avontuur❣️ Hebben jullie Nederlandse roots…ik meende te horen dat de kids in het Nederlands aftellen voordat ze in de oceaan springen?
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
@@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?
😃⛵️🦋 Another wonderful episode 😃👍 I love the kids with the popcorn 🍿 machine , the water looked great to 🏊🏻♀️ swim in . You have to get the boys fishing 🎣🐟 have a wonderful week and safe travels.....
Thanks Paul!! The popcorn machine is a real hit! We got it as a Christmas present for the kids 😄 We also bought them a fishing rod and Sky just caught his first fish a few days ago, he was so proud 😃
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. Best
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 .
Congratulations on the crossing! Not may people (me for one) can say they have been able to sail across the Pacific or Atlantic! This would be a dream come true! A goal of mine is to sail from Seattle (where I live) to Australia through Hawaii spending a several months enjoying the Ocean. Thanks for sharing!
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.
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.
I've been binge watching your channel from the start of your USA roadtrip, and I'm now up to date. Having enjoyed your family adventures so much I have now subscribed. I would hate to miss any of future episodes. Bon voyage, guys.
I really enjoyed both of your video on this incredible journey. I always wanted to know did you have to screw the television down. The reason I ask is because with those big waves I thought the television would be flying around. You can tell I haven't sailed on a catamaran.🤣🤣
Thanks and a new suscription here!Exactly agree with george..honesty and real videos are the Best!make us humans family.Hugs of Southamerican oceansoul💗🌎🤗🎇
Just stumbled across this. Beautiful. The fish 🐠, the swimming 🏊♂️. The self reliance and the disconnection. I can only imagine the confidence builder this trip was. 😄
Thank you so much for sharing your adventure. I am sure you felt such an accomplishment. The waves on the crossing looked so large. Congratulations. I look forward to seeing more.
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."
I remember as a kid, my parents took myself and 3 brother's on a cruise, just looking into the vastness of the ocean and wondering what was below. What an amazing thought. Opened my eyes a bit. Hope your journey is safe and amazing.
Must have been an amazing experience!! Our kids are loving it. And we’re hoping it will learn them what’s important in life. It’s definitely opening our eyes as well. Thanks for watching!!
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.
Hello Everyone! Fantastic, exciting, wonders from our Earth you shared with the World. "The generous person will prosper; and whoever refreshes others will themselves be refreshed." Proverbs 11:25. Possible, curious Dolphins saying to one another: lets all go and welcome our visitors. Thoughtful, heartfelt expressions of flying fish, catching a Tuna while befriending Pigeons. Your courageous, strong, brave and clearly well behaved youngsters brought so much goodness to us. They learned, planning, preparation, safety and sharing. I compliment you both! We salute you Captain! Richard
Thanks!! We went on a few sailing trips from Spain to Ibiza with our family, that's where our love for sailing arose. Afterwards Sven took sailing lessons and about two years later we ordered our Lagoon 😀
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
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. With the pandemic, pretty much everything shifted to an online platform and now you can pay bills, do groceries, go to school and avail of government services/transactions all via a click of the mouse.
Hi . I admire so much about your family. Wishing you and your family good health and happiness. You ask yourself: going across the ocean, how do you connect to the Internet.
Thank you very much!! Internet connection during an ocean crossing is very limited and only for communication purposes, we used an Irridium Go for this.
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?
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!!

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!
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"🤣🤣🤣
hahah you can't fool those kids 😄
2:20 The control system is wonderful .
I actually cried at the when you anchored. Thank you for sharing your adventure!

Thank you for watching!!
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.
Only the 45’s seem to have this problem so we’re safe. Thanks!
Never hurts to keep checking the bulkheads just in case.
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.
Cool stuff happy to see that your journey was a safe one the sunsets are beautiful out there see you next week have a safe week enjoy
Thanks James!! See you next week 😃

@skyworldita 🤩 I would have loved growing up like this as well 😃

Hoy did you learn to sail this catamaran and manage all the systems?
Congrats for the amazing trip!
Just studied everything there is to know and went out sailing 😄 Thanks for watching!

Congrats for the crossing!
Thanks Thierry!!
What an amazing passage, how fun to swim in the middle of the ocean, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching Kimberly!!
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.

Hello, can you please advice on which batteries to purchase?
Hi! We have a large BYD battery-box Premium LVL 15.4 to store the solar energy. And we switched the domestic lead acid batteries to Victron lithium.
Great video, i would like to know more about the reefs in sails do you have to put them in the sails or something. Thanks for a great sail with you.
Thanks!! We have three different reef lines attached to the mainsail that we can pull to reduce the sail area when the wind gets too strong.
Flying fish is good bait for big fish.
Good to know! Thanks!
Congrats! May i ask what the family’s sailing experience was before teh L46?
Thanks!! We went on a few sailing trips from Spain to Ibiza with our family, that's where our love for sailing arose. Afterwards Sven took sailing lessons and about two years later we ordered our Lagoon 😀
I hope in the next life. I could have a parents like you.
Open. Adventurer, pro environment, nature lover!!
Awesome life
Thanks a lot for your nice words!!
The distance to the Horizon is somewhat near to the depth of the ocean
roughly indeed, never thought about that before.

32 jours ? C'est bien un Lagoon ! 🤣🤣

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