A west-to-east Atlantic crossing from Saint Martin in the Caribbean arrives in Horta, Faial, Azores after 28 days and roughly 2,530 miles — the crew's longest passage.20:58 Days 21 through 24 bring near-zero wind, overnight drifting that loses 11 miles, and then a day-23 storm with 2–3 metre swells that makes sleep impossible; the boat rolls continuously for 12–14 hours.8:46 A failing Raymarine instrument system loses wind and depth readouts; a temporary fix restores both.2:02 A damaged shroud, repaired at sea with Dyneema, two eye bolts, and a truckers-hitch arrangement using shackles, forces the crew to carry a third reef throughout and avoid loading the rig — the primary reason the passage stretches to 28 days.19:45 On day 27, with 124 miles remaining, 40 litres of fuel transfer into the main tank; one 20-litre can is held back as reserve.14:56 Arrival in Horta requires flying a quarantine flag before check-in; immigration, customs, and the marina capitanería are all handled in a single building at the marina.20:21 Provisioning held up for the full passage, though chocolate stocks ran out two days before landfall.12:07 The shroud repair is scheduled for Horta.20:17 A damaged shroud managed with Dyneema and conservative sail trim can extend a passage significantly but prevent a dismasting.
