Transatlantic Sailing

Crossing from Tenerife to the Caribbean at the moment. I figured Laurent Ferrier should join.

There’s a lot to unpack here. Solo?

More details!

And a LF is a delightfully obscure choice!

No. Not solo; not ready for that. A small group of us are on our way. We brought along a professional Bowman and Tactician for the trip... along with the regular captain and cook. The rest of us have never done the crossing, so some pro guidance was appreciated.

And the LF is 120m water resistance, claiming to be a sport watch; I thought I would put it to the test.... Plus, it's probably the most comfortable watch I have and I love wearing it. So easy choice albeit obscure.

I went to ChatGPT and asked AI for a photo of perfection.

OP Nailed It!
