Barry Perrins completes a solo passage from Antigua to Horta, Faial, Azores — approximately 55 days at sea — as the second-to-last leg of a circumnavigation.▶ 6:23 Persistent calms and light winds dominate the passage; Perrins spends long stretches becalmed and nearly exhausts his food supply, reaching a point where he considers calling for help.▶ 7:13 The autopilot Terby and a hydrogenerator run throughout.▶ 5:54 A mainsail-raising attempt in heavy rolling conditions fails and injures him; he succeeds the following day in calmer conditions.▶ 2:49 Arriving within 40 miles of Horta at night with a strong southerly set, he anchors off the island rather than attempt a 0300 marina entry, then motors in at dawn and ties to a gap in the harbour wall without prior permission.▶ 8:21 Customs involves a police drug-search with a dog aboard.▶ 16:12 A deteriorating swell traps the boat between two large catamarans and a neighbouring vessel, causing fender failures and hull damage during what Perrins describes as a frightening night.▶ 16:59 He meets the crew of YouTube channel Sailing Fair Isle in port.▶ 19:38 The passage confirms that provisioning margins for a slow, wind-dependent Atlantic crossing must account for extended calms well beyond the planned duration.
