Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Javi and his crew aboard the sailboat *Regina* completed a 19-day Atlantic crossing from Guadeloupe in the Caribbean to Flores in the Azores.2:35 The passage required a tactical approach to weather, as the crew navigated the periphery of North Atlantic low-pressure systems to maintain momentum while avoiding the center of storms.4:48 To stay within favorable wind corridors, the vessel remained south of the 30th parallel for much of the transit.6:25 Despite this strategy, the crew encountered extensive periods of calm, necessitating 80 hours of engine use and consuming approximately 260 liters of diesel fuel.6:36 The crew utilized the Offshore app for high-resolution weather routing, which Javi credited as essential for identifying narrow wind bands.8:41 The anchorage at Faja Grande on Flores offers scenic views but features significant ground swell, making dinghy landings through the surf hazardous.2:35 Unlike the trade-wind-dominated westward crossing, the eastward return requires precise timing within a narrow two-to-three-month weather window to avoid hurricane season and severe gales.3:09
