After a 12-day North Atlantic crossing from Bermuda, the 46,000-mile circumnavigating vessel Florence makes landfall at Flores in the Azores.1:13 The crew encountered five days of 30- to 40-knot gale-force winds during the passage, which caused UV-damaged stitching on the genoa’s leech to fail.0:16 To manage light-wind conditions during the final approach, the crew swapped the damaged genoa for an older spare sail on deck.10:51 They successfully navigated into the harbor at night, anchoring before moving to a wall mooring the following morning.16:59 The crew reports that the genoa requires professional restitching of the entire UV-damaged strip rather than further hand-stitching.12:26 Upon arrival, they explored the island’s volcanic terrain, noting steep hiking trails and black sand beaches populated by man-of-war jellyfish.20:59 The passage confirmed that while the North Atlantic maintains a reputation for severe low-pressure systems, proper sail management and weather monitoring allow for successful transit.
