In this video, we explain how sailboats have crossed the Atlantic for hundreds of years! We go through Trade Winds (in particular the equatorial trade winds), how they form, why they are stronger in the winter and how they blow.
We then go through a couple of popular routes to cross the Atlantic and talk about our own choice of route!

Wonderful information. Thanks guys.

I hope your crossing was fun and safe, looking forward to seeing your new adventures. Also we have crossed into a new decade and a new year so happy this year!
When I awoke at 4:00AM this morning I checked on your location. You were only 10-20 miles shy of Martinique. So you made it! Congrats!
You guys are about to arrive at Martinique! You made it! Congratulations and happy new year! 🎊🎆
I was hoping for some navigation info?! Been following your trans Atlantic, congratulations a great achievement! Well done!
Awesome episode, well done guys 👌
Happy New Year to you. It seems you successfully approached Caribbean. Good job. I'm really looking forward for your next video with conclusion of this Atlantic journey.
Nice one guys

looking forward to following your adventure. you folks are so funny
Happy New Year and welcome to the North American Waters!!!! I just finished watching this video and checked out your position and it looks like you have arrived at St. Lucia in the Carribean Islands, Woot, Woot!!! Actually, it looks like you are closer to Fort-de-France, Martinique. I am sure you two are so happy to have made across safely and in one piece. Looking forward to hearing the stories of your crossing!!!
Congrats on and safe crossing.
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU BOTH
fair winds and following seas for your passage
{:-) PAV uk
Great video guys, It had me laughing out loud, Fairwinds and Safe seas
Culmination of a dream, wishing you fair winds and following seas, stay safe.
Thank you Peter! This will be fun!!! :D
Why does your comment say it was posted 2 weeks ago, and everyone else comments are posted today 12/31, LOL...Maybe they reposted this video automatically while crossing from when it was first posted 2 weeks ago?
Michael Buck We are Patreons and get early access to videos.
Great video! as always... Did you ever do a similar video of crossing from the US back to the Canaries? On a "slow" video week... It would be great if you explained the trade winds going west to east and speculating the route you would take.. Thanks for always having fun and bringing the good information!
You guys are so goofy and fun! I love it! This is my favorite video of yours that I've seen!! I'm glad you made it across the Atlantic safely (I checked were you are now on your website). HAPPY NEW YEAR!! When you are done playing in the Caribbean and Bahamas do you plan to follow the Gulf Stream north up to New York and then back to Europe? or out to the Pacific? or ??
Reckon you just made it 🥳 Happy New Year 🥳
Happy New year and fair winds; see you next year😊
I found you one Marine traffic, nice sailing Happy new year
I want to get a sailboat and go to cape verde because my great grandfather is from there! Thank you for the video and info.
That's cool. CV is amazing.
Happy sailings and good luck.
Wow that’s awesome
I’m a cape verdian love the video
Just looked at your website you are doing well.
Safe journey and will be good to see you both get there in one piece
Good luck! 👍👍👍
Happy New Year to you 🎇✨🎁😊
Watching you all the way. Sail Safe. Ant, Cid & the Pooch crew.
Thanks Ryan and Sophie. The earth spins from the west to the east but, otherwise you're all good.
Well done looks like you are going to be there for new year or the day after.
I am getting very excited about "our" crossing. Fair winds...
cape verde is fab just lock your boat always and dont drink too much Grog the local brew which will kill you LOL its so strong happy sailing and fair winds
I'm watching this for writing research purposes, but it seems sooo cool, I want to do it sometime
You two are a great great couple and transmit good vibe. Thanks for sharing. One question, are there pirates in the route?
Great video. Just think about how those ancient square rigged boats did it with having the wind on their "butt" all the time, which worked best for them! Hopefully you won't to go back east or the word tack will mean something other than a corner of a sail. Happy New Year and enjoy the Caribbean. Fair winds.
Safe travels
2 additional routes the far South (used by Delos) and the Northern Island Hopping Route (used by Drake Paragon).
Fair winds friends!
Very helpful, thank you!
I like your bike shirt
Hi - did you sail with a group.
I’m looking at a 40 Beneteau like yours, 2011. Are you happy with it, any suggestions .
Great videos , keep on going.
What level of both equipment and experience would you need ?
Interesting video Thanks
Sailing instructors? What are those? I have never had them, I have found the best way to learn to sail is buy the book" Sailing for Dummies" and only read it after you have attempted to sail all day using only your common since. Then that book will explain all the mistakes that you made during the previous day. I remember my first day is I knew nothing about how to tack or why one would even need to. I would see a sailboat sailing in the direction I wanted to go and If I manipulated my sails to look like the other boat's sails I could also move in that general direction. Note I was trying to sail south from NJ towards Flordia into a Northerly wind. Needless to say I saw the statue of Liberty from the rudder of my sailboat for my first time. Another book I recommend is by a fellow sailor named Jimmy Cornell, "The World Cruising Handbook", ( I have found the best way to buy this book is off of eBay instead of West Marine buy it used because you can pick it up for one tenth the cost of new, and with the hard cover it protects the pages quite nicely.
THEY MADE IT
Congratulation with landfall in Martinique!
@3:20 Sophie's favorite way of sailing is with the wind in her bowels. Me, too.
This is a phenomenal tutorial video Sofie & Ryan. THANK YOU for making this incredible video. I would recommend all sailors that are going to do Ocean crossings to take a professional survivor course prior. Been following you & reading your daily journal on your site (if you have not read their daily journal definitely take the time & go to their site). HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!! 🎉⛵️🌍🐟🐬🌴
I hope the Earth was spinning the correct way for you guys or it’s going to be a very long journey. 👍
good explanation of trade winds - but do you have info on when is the right time to cross back the other way...to Europe....also best route back to Europe???
We may explain it soon too ;)
Did you meet Alex from Galopin whilst on the Cape Verde islands?
Probably sick of people pointing out that experienced sailors and 5th graders know the earth spins West to East. I was hoping you might explain why the atmosphere moves faster than the globe, ie, weather systems (apart from high energy hurricanes) generally move West to East across the face of a spinning globe.
Capo Verde to Carribbean.... for hundreds of years the best route
I believe the earth only turns East…Not east to west. With that said the Sun travels from east to the west in the sky, but actually the sun is somewhat stationary and its the earth rotating on its axes that gives one the sensation of the sun moving.
Safe journey
Ya know.... in hindsight this title is rather humorus.. ;)
Fair Winds and Smooth Seas ...../)....
"My favorite".... 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚 💚
Have a safe and enjoyable crossing guys. And enjoy celebrating the New Year together somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean. Bon chance!
Martinique! Encore en France!
This video is maybe by mistake is unlocked on Patreon, I wrote about it but of course you guys can't see it.
The earth spins west to east, counterclockwise. Think you may have misspoke.
Coooool I have to say yours are bigger than mine. lol
Dont fall in the water unless you want to. Compliments of the season.
really cool
my grandpa's sailor friend always used to say "even the shit can cross it"
@Badger he used to go on races so it's easy for him saying this though.
At night time when you guys sleep do you anchor the boat or is it still on autopilot like you said heading towards the Americas
The ocean is like 3000 meters deep so its impractical for any boat to take anchor chain long enough to anchor. No, our boat when sailing under passage is moving 24 / 7. All ships, unless being operated signal handed have someone on watch all the time... so Sophie and I have shifts. Sometimes, if we need to make a sail change or go on the foredeck we wake the other person. On ocean crossing we see very little of eachother as one usually sleeps while the other is awake and on watch
@@RyanSophieSailing well I guess my question made it very clear that I've never been on the boat because I guess it sounds pretty stupid to drop an anchor to the bottom of the ocean but now I realize that somebody's always on watch which was ultimately what my real question was so thank you for taking the time to answer I do appreciate it I myself get very sick on the boat I've only been on small boats and I've thrown up every time so I stayed off of them however I watch a lot of videos yesterday on boats for some reason and I came across your Channel
❤️🎥
I was wondering how you return to Europe, if the wind is blowing east to west?
North of the azores high as all sailors since Columbus did.
BON VOYAGE! Remember please that the humidity in the Caribbean is open for negotiation. Please contact the local governments for details🤣
God speed.
Not first!
The french sister of Sylvester...wow
Lol as a French gal you were a bit too obvious you don't like Spain
The question is how to come back to Europe?
As I write this I guess you're probably still making faces at flying fish in the Atlantic. 😁
Good Luck, Great Winds, God's Speed. 🙋♂️
East to west is easy...how about west to East?
oppose, half of the high pressure systems in the world "rotate" anti-clockwise - northern and southern hemispheres work opposite.
You just get on the Concorde and fly over. Oh wait?
Explain that flat earthers. Ha ha.
Its thousind of years.....
When sailing long distance, is it safe in terms of running into bad people who will rob you or even hurt you?
1:36, the earth spins from east to west ????, you mean West to East !
Really? Does the sun rise in the west and set in the east? ;)
@@RyanSophieSailing no, it rises in the east because the earth spins towards it, ie TO the east. Look at a satellite video...
The editing kills me
Care-a-bee-un or Ca-Rib-ee-un.... Who the hell cares? Happy New Year!
The earth turns from west to east, not east to west
