4 Days Stuck at Sea…Nothing Could Have Prepared Us | EP44

500 Miles at Sea: 4-Day Offshore Passage from the Abaco Bahamas to Beaufort, North Carolina just south of Cape Hatteras in our 40ft Nordhavn Trawler. After 5 unforgettable months exploring the beautiful Bahama Islands, it’s time for a change of scenery. With hurricane season approaching, we’re setting course north for an exciting new chapter in our journey. In preparation for a future Atlantic Ocean crossing, we decided to test our endurance and seamanship with a 500-mile offshore passage from the Bahamas to North Carolina aboard our 40ft Nordhavn Trawler. This nearly 100-hour non-stop voyage across open ocean came with serious challenges: ⚓ No emergency services ⚓ No safe harbors ⚓ No room for error — just us, the sea, and our reliable trawler. In this hour-long sailing documentary, experience: 🌊 Dramatic offshore storms 🚢 Close encounters with massive freighters 😴 Extreme sleep deprivation 💪 Raw, emotional moments as we push through fear and fatigue Join us as the sun sets over the open sea night after night and we navigate through our most intense passages yet. 📌 Subscribe for more liveaboard life, offshore passagemaking, and sailing adventures as we prepare to cross the Atlantic! ________________________________________________________________________________________ ⚓ STUFF WE LOVE (and actually use) These aren’t just random links — this is gear we use on Ruth Pearl all the time.
