Boot, Thilo, Leonie, and two crew members, Pauli and Claudius, depart the Canary Islands on an 850-nautical-mile passage to Cape Verde, sailing south along the coasts of Western Sahara and Mauritania over seven days.0:23 The boat runs predominantly downwind, deploying twin poled-out headsails in a butterfly configuration for the trade-wind run.39:11 A midnight wind shift forces a sail adjustment mid-passage rather than a full pole gybe, with the crew accepting a temporary course deviation to avoid the maneuver in the dark.8:40 Watch rotations run 2.5-hour shifts cycling through all four crew members.19:47 A loud bang mid-passage brings the crew on deck at night, though the cause is not clearly resolved.25:09 Dolphins and flying fish appear briefly.24:20 The crew notes a stark contrast to a difficult passage on the same route five years earlier, which they describe as a trauma now overcome.34:47 Arriving at Cape Verde in near-darkness with roughly 20 nautical miles remaining in daylight, they enter the anchorage cautiously due to reported congestion from fishing boats and buoys.45:37 The passage confirms that adapting watch schedules and accepting minor course deviations at night reduces crew fatigue on a week-long downwind trade-wind leg.
