After four days onboard Malizia 4, Alice is starting to discover the people behind the sailors. As the lighter winds create time for conversations, she learns about Julien and Justine’s journeys into offshore sailing, their first transatlantic experiences and the instincts they have developed after years at sea. Between these quieter moments, Malizia 4 is still pushing towards 30 knots, giving Alice another glimpse into the technical skill, teamwork and human touch behind life onboard during her first transatlantic delivery.
