In January,2024 I completed delivery of a Lagoon 42 from Mindelo to St George, Grenada. 16 days 10 hours. This was my 4th Trans Atlantic crossing. Have done it faster and slower, but this was a good trip and the only breakage was a coffee canister.
Typical reef line chafe issues, but know what to look for and how to fix the issue allowed an early fix to prevent damage to reef lines

In late June, 2023 I enjoyed an opportunity to sail a vessel which has always been of interest - A Neel 51. Quick double handed trip across a thunderstorm agitated Gulf Stream -Nassau to St Augustine.
Very nice vessel with obvious high build quality. I would have enjoyed a longer passage to experience a bigger variety of conditions
