Ep. 42 | STÜRMISCHE ATLANTIKÜBERQUERUNG und Mastbruch. Teil 1 -Blue Horizon-

30 days at sea an experience that one cannot imagine beforehand I think This is like land Into the inner world Everywhere Is this back to wild again Welcome to this video Before the video starts we wanted to take the opportunity to introduce you to our new T-shirts And hoodies Exactly We designed an extra Atlantic Edition It's a round wave logo this time also with colors and we think it turned out really cool Exactly We'll include that here Atlantic but also Hood Edition And we hope you like it You can take a look at it Now enjoy the video We are curious to see what you think of it And write everything in the comments The link is below in the description of our online store Enjoy the video Have fun Our journey has taken us to the end of Europe La Gomera is a small Spanish island and from here the seemingly endless masses of water of the Atlantic Ocean are to be crossed Crossing the Atlantic was always so far away for us That we could never really imagine with what feeling one will begin such a time Now we are standing right before the longest time e time we will spend isolated from all civilization on the sea Many days when we will realize how we cope being only three people having no contact with other people The situation we cannot simply escape from lies before us We have various feelings when we think about it Excited adventurous but also respectful of this challenge We are also preparing the last important things To finally say goodbye to this wonderful island and to no longer feel solid ground beneath our feet for a long time Yes how much water do you want to take Tomorrow morning it will start Now we will buy the last remaining items mainly vegetables and fruit We already bought the other things and stored everything in the bilge But now a whole lot of oranges apples pears and onions And all the other things you need No contact with the outside world for several weeks We need to have everything we need for living on the boat during this time Vegetables and fruits provide us with sufficient vitamins We take more food than we need We set the drinking water far above what was actually needed for this time just in case something happens We want to start the adventure with a sense of security What is he doing What a stress all the things one has to go through A small inconvenience First take a little break he's gallivanting around here This is very poorly packed Yes right now it's starting We are starting the engine now and then the crossing will begin 30 days at sea an experience that one cannot possibly imagine before how it really is I'm really excited and a bit nervous I wasn't nervous at all the whole time but now I'm starting to get a little more excited Well let's see how that goes I hope it's a relaxed and pleasant crossing Don't worry it's not that bad but we'll manage Now let's get started Have a good trip Thank you Bye See you over there But eventually everyone has to leave Still it's nice that they stayed here for so long Actually they had planned to come here We have now started and are slowly adjusting everything properly as it should remain for the next few days here And since we want it to be completely perfect so nothing can go wrong here And because there is no risk of injury we have created a real layperson's paradise here If someone falls down now it will take a while before we can start filming again But maybe no one can fall down because they get hit by a small tree Atlantic Crossing Day 1 We started under perfect conditions It's a bit wavy but we have 20 knots of wind The trade wind tree is already outside And we have built a really elegant rig for it Then we can always keep the mainsail extended and simply change the sails This Passat tree will now in the best case remain unfolded Truly elegant We are enjoying the evening sun and then we go into the first night Damn here I won't do that I'll give the engine four hours then I'll turn it off And if there's no wind then that's just how it is Then we'll take a break in El Hierro for now Cancel That's it up to here I don't know if you have to get used to it first but I have the feeling it's rocking back and forth quite a bit already for the first night But it will also get a bit warmer and so And maybe the situation will ease over time This is no longer possible Coffee stains do not come out Coffee stains don't come out What the hell is that Then we won't make coffee anymore today It's too dangerous Then you won't have coffee anymore I don't need any more It doesn't taste good I just wanted to accept it as a good gesture Let me tell you something if you really don't want something en you also have to say that you are somewhat bad at the others So you both know exactly I need to go first Also we need to make sure we get two jibs and two spinnakers out We can sail before the wind for the next 30 days To do that we first need to lower the foresail We need to de-entangle something on the mast because there are rigging lines there Man man Jonas Monkey Then the seal must be moved to the other side for the passatbäume on the other side must then be assembled The jib needs to be slightly extended to stand better A freshly sewn sail So where is the case for that now The Orange Then we need to hoist a second staysail for the mizzenmast that is already up And we need to take down the mainsail This means it will just be optimized a bit more and then the afternoon Let's see what it brings We will spend the afternoon sailing around Let's see if it works For the time being we felt secure with the sail position and were satisfied with the speed at which were moving That the two huge sails would become our downfall we did not know at that time It somehow felt like there was a bit too much wind so we wanted to take down one of the two jibs and saw that all the walls were loose Damn watch out be careful Yes you also have to steer properly Yes it's difficult when he takes it away We had the mast repaired because it had broken and was damaged All the rivets have come out all of them 18 pieces Everything is loose and if you don't tighten it now the mast could break Again broken just as broken as before We're walking on a razor's edge So brutally simple Exactly how one doesn't want it Incredible Watch out What's next Yes now we are sailing for the first time to Cape Verde Good that we are already this far This far That's maybe a third Yes a third is already that We are constantly going seven knots Yes two thirds with a rotten mast or something Yes of course Do you want to turn around or something Into the wind Back The new day is breaking We still have the Genoa outside We must not overload the mast of course But we still have to get there somehow Hopefully it will be a bit more relaxed throughout the day That we can recharge a bit Could possibly be the highest waves We have been chatting here on the ocean pipe I'm already a little scared Water is coming in Our water tank is rusty It makes all those loud noises and the mast and it's not all that safe I have exactly one sip of water in me I don't trust myself to try anything new to drink I have a headache We must pray that we arrive safely in Cape Verde I was just outside for a moment I wanted to clear my head a bit And suddenly I'm sitting here in a towel because I got completely soaked And in every moment the entire mast could collapse Because we have a very high target in mind It's currently good with the wind but it's probably going to get a bit stronger overnight We have everything saved for now The storm is outside Now we are safe for a while The mast won't break First of all Here everything has been scattered around because we have to document everything of course We need to get ashore quickly All for the crew We are building a bed for Leonie now Everyone has a bed Leonie doesn't have one So what else do you need now A pillow Another brush And a blanket Is it comfortable I think I'll stay like this for the next four days and just not move anymore until we arrive Very cozy Oh how many Oh the inner waves are surging Everywhere I don't even know where to look What is that now We drain the water then we will be lighter And I can see it directly at my sleeping place That is very advantageous It still doesn't feel quite right to just throw the water overboard We still have 100 liters left You can just drink it with Leichtschor The storm is dragging on it's not getting better and it will get worse tonight How many miles left Yes another 420 miles That's enough for now you said or something Time just doesn't pass three nights and four days And we're all huddled together here like in some really long wobbly sleepover or something Where does all our food even come from Watch out Here is the magic box Now it can begin the joyful spaghetti eating We are going out for another session now at 10 degrees Celsius so that we don't have to take so many detour miles But we have to make sure we arrive there well and not just keep fighting the wind Beautiful sunrise to enjoy here This is a sunny storm I'm telling you Sunset Ah downfall I mean indeed Attention This is wild again Ouch ouch So hello Where are we swimming now Here Full speed ahead Is the other one going Hey man The weather here in Wacken you Okay now Normal here on the Atlantic heading towards Cape Verde Just a regular trade wind Relaxing in the sunshine Enjoy these wonderful hours once more before I don't know how normal families do it like in such a storm How do they do it Or do they not go into a storm And with children Or if you happen to be an old couple they do that too I'm not sure Could you all please write in the comments who do it that way What's that Maybe there are some tricks But that's really a experience right You don't have to have done that Another 230 nautical miles until we reach the Cape Verde And we are now next to the coast of Mauritania Have you heard that before I don't know either About Senegal Those are already countries right There you have not really dealt with it yet Could you give me some toothpaste once Thank you Hey it's already really warm here huh Damn he's pushing Now you're going to see it live You have to stop the wind sailing You have to turn the crane around And now it will immediately swing badly Ouch Now Yes that's good The waves are calming down slowly and you can now also relax outside again That makes it more fun again and I'm really looking forward to arriving there tomorrow what will be going on there what the destination is like and what the people are like and how all of that will unfold Truly crazy everything Cape Verde Not planned yet still awesome The journey was tiring but we didn't regret our decision We've moved forward a step were at sea for eight days and now we are excited about the new country the people and the completely different culture Windfahren is today morning and mutated We always take only the positive things from all these things that happened In the engine room there was an opening open There is saltwater everywhere The Good Vibes Only We are definitely going right now into the harbor and are already excited It looks like that Rest relax eat Everywhere the engine is rusting and we have to fix all of it but we have survived and it goes on A richer experience I would say That will mean a few days of refit and we have to go again Make everything fresh because there 's so much junk We are really glad to be here Actually we wanted to be in the Caribbean but not really We are now here in Mindelo have arrived at the harbor have moored and now we need to clear customs see how things are going here with Corona what's going on here and if everything goes well we would probably go to the city today and take a look It's so loose But up to here everything went well I hope you liked the video It was wild again a wild stage But it goes on forever we are confident and if you feel like it and would continue to support us then I would appreciate
