Yvette and Darcy depart Las Palmas, Gran Canaria aboard their Sunreef 62 on an 876-nautical-mile passage to Mindelo, Cabo Verde — their longest non-stop passage on the boat.1:23 The original plan was a direct Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean, but a large weather system off Canada threatening rough seas prompted the route change to Cabo Verde first.0:03 Departure is complicated when a free-floating line wraps around the port propeller at the dock; Darcy dives to clear it before they can leave.0:28 The passage runs over Christmas and Boxing Day, with conditions varying between 10 and 28 knots, frequent squalls, and wind-on-wind sailing at 5–7 knots.22:45 Sail configuration changes roughly five or six times as they balance speed and comfort — cycling through full main, staysail, headsail, and second reef combinations.21:57 A lazy jack fails mid-passage but causes no operational problem since the mainsail stays up throughout.17:33 Approaching Mindelo, they debate whether to slow down deliberately to avoid a night entry, citing sunken boats in the anchorage as a hazard.31:25 Starlink provides internet offshore, used selectively to manage the higher cost beyond 12 miles from land.36:30
