Sailing on SV Humpback with the Beck family

Atlantic crossing

Sleep, sail, thrive – crossing an ocean with two young boys and a baby.

Three kids, two adults, one ocean. 19 days. We kept the boat sailing, all stayed sane, baked a cake, played many games – and enjoyed it.

Bad: Autopilot belt snapped again. Dave ripped the sail. Good: Found a kelp crab. Kept on sailing.
