Jessie & Luke Cross the Atlantic DAY 1 Nerves and anxiety are present when entering a time frame and space in which self-reliance is your greatest power. Self-reliance could potentially be the only thing to save your life on the ocean. You must trust yourself and your partner; have faith in your boat and the work you did to prepare it. It’s not wrong to question these things, and these questions will creep up on you. It’s what keeps sailors from leaving. It’s what accentuates our fears. But at some point you must decide—and no one ever said decisions were easy. Today we decided to leave. Today we decided to trust. Trans-Atlantic round two. Tenerife, Canary Islands, westbound to Antigua. Just Luke, myself, Tato the Portuguese cat, and 3,000 nautical miles of open ocean.
