We are super excited to announce that we have officially signed up to join this year's Atlantic Rally for Cruisers (ARC+)! This will be our second crossing, the first being back in 2020,  although this time we are doing a slightly different route, including Cape Verde. We knew as soon as we finished the first one we'd be back it was just a matter of when. Having done it before, we're coming into this with a better understanding of what to expect and so we know we have a lot of work to get done before we leave Gran Canaria in November. For example, we need to fit a new water-maker, tune the rigging and service the sail drives, which requires the boat to come out of the water and have the engines removed. We also have to get Blown Away from Prevaza, Greece to the start point. All in all it's going to be a busy summer but, after 4 years living on land,  we couldn't be more ready to get started! We'll be posting regular updates here, as well as on Instagram (@sailing.sisters) and Facebook ( Natasha Lambert ) you can also track us (Blown Away) on marine traffic.com, so follow along to see how our adventures unfold...
