How do you cross the Atlantic, exactly? (The Atlantic route explained)

Follow Polar Seal across the Atlantic! www.ryanandsophie.com/#tracking

In this video, we explain how sailboats have crossed the Atlantic for hundreds of years! We go through Trade Winds (in particular the equatorial trade winds), how they form, why they are stronger in the winter and how they blow.
We then go through a couple of popular routes to cross the Atlantic and talk about our own choice of route!
