A couple sailing from the Canary Islands to Cape Verde experiences a six-day Atlantic passage while managing power shortages and equipment failures. With a broken generator and insufficient solar output, the crew limits electronics usage to preserve power for the autopilot.1:41 During the transit, the spinnaker pole snaps twice, requiring a temporary repair with Dyneema.19:40 The vessel lacks an AIS transponder, relying solely on a receiver to monitor nearby traffic.21:35 This limitation leads to a near-collision with an unlit sailing vessel at night, forcing a 10-degree course correction to maintain a quarter-mile separation.22:57 The crew maintains a routine of light-wind sailing, occasionally using a cruising chute and headsail, while shadowing other rally participants. Despite the mechanical challenges and sleep deprivation, the passage concludes with successful navigation to Cape Verde.47:34 Maintaining a consistent watch and verifying the presence of navigation lights on nearby vessels remains critical when relying only on AIS reception.
