I have just sailed across the Atlantic on a 600 B.C. Phoenician ship replica. I believe this ancient civilisation of navigators Reached the new world 2000 years before Columbus. Other than that, I quit my job, left my family, broke up with my fiancé to come to Miami on this trip. I have no idea what I’m doing next. Im a 33 year old french lebanese and the least I can say is my life has taken quite an unexpected turn lately. I had zero sailing experience before doing this and it has been the most difficult and amazing thing I’ve ever done.
