A Swan 47 S&S named Saga departs Martinique bound for Salvador, Brazil — a 2,200-nautical-mile upwind passage against the equatorial current, estimated at four to five weeks.▶ 1:03 The crew chose this demanding route deliberately: instead of the traditional downwind approach from the Canary Islands or Cape Verde, they routed through Cuba, Panama, and Colombia first, leaving them to beat south against wind and current from the Caribbean.▶ 0:46 The passage requires hunting counter-currents, sailing long stretches on a close reach, and continuously updating weather routing models while managing sail plan, boat speed, crew comfort, and endurance.▶ 1:31 A planned stop at Fernando de Noronha breaks the route before the final approach to the Brazilian coast.▶ 1:43 The target is Salvador in time for carnival in February.▶ 1:52 Saga's design as a classic offshore bluewater hull is cited as the primary reason the boat suits this kind of demanding upwind work.▶ 1:20 The broader plan continues with a season exploring Brazil's tropical coastline before a heavy-weather offshore passage to Argentina and the Beagle Channel.▶ 2:00
