Life on board during the transatlantic race: reading, music, sport and DIY

A daily rhythm of multiple activities

‍

During their Atlantic crossing as part of the Grand Large Yachting World Odyssey 500, the Allures owners describe their varied and sometimes unexpected daily lives. Reading takes center stage, providing an opportunity to catch up on the reading time put aside before departure. But the activities on board don't stop there: board games every evening, writing and recording songs as a family, moments of sharing that make the crossing unique.

Sport and well-being, even at sea

‍

Between sunrise yoga sessions, exercises adapted to the movements of the monohull and swimming in the open sea, the crews know how to keep active. Snorkeling, paddleboarding and inflatable kayaking make the most of stopovers and navigation breaks.

‍

DIY, fishing and discovery

‍

As every sailor knows, a sailboat requires constant attention. Small repairs and adjustments punctuate the days, even aboard a new boat. Some crews have also tried their hand at deep-sea fishing, sometimes successfully, sometimes with the bitterness of losing their lures to overpowering tuna or barracuda. "We still have a lot to learn, but it's a great lesson in the sea," they confide.

A rich and creative journey

‍

Beyond the sailing, this transatlantic race was an opportunity to share human and creative experiences, strengthening the bond between crew members and families. The Allures owners remind us that on board, the most important thing is not only to move forward, but also to savor every moment.
