In this first interview recorded underway, Captain Boomies speaks with Captain Steve as he and the crew of 100% progress on their solar-powered Atlantic crossing aboard a Silent 62 3-Deck.
They discuss the planning behind the voyage, the route from Gibraltar to Antigua, life on board during the first days at sea, and how the team is managing weather, navigation and energy efficiency throughout the passage.

How exciting, I wish the team the best and can’t wait to see you cross the Atlantic
Steve have a good and safe trip. Best. José
How much of the crossing do you expect will be generator assisted? And at cruising speed, what (7kn) is your hourly fuel burn in gallons?
Wonderful to watch your work—thanks!
