Eight days at sea and Alice is starting to settle into the chaos. After another night spent outrunning thunderstorms, Day 8 aboard Malizia 4 brings quieter moments to reflect on the strange simplicity of life in the middle of the Atlantic. From weather routing and boat maintenance to hand-steering at speed and watching Cole and Justine in their element, Alice discovers the routines, people and moments that are making her first transatlantic crossing so special. As the fatigue starts to catch up with her, there is one feeling that remains: she feels very lucky to be there.
