During a passage from Puerto Rico to Curaçao, the 40-foot sailboat *Califa* encounters a series of intense squalls, forcing the crew to adjust their course and reef the mainsail to two-thirds and the genoa to one-third.9:57 The crew navigates 2-meter seas with 6-second intervals and sustained winds between 15 and 28 knots, requiring constant steering adjustments to maintain stability.14:50 To clear customs in Curaçao, the owner uses the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) mobile application, which facilitates a remote video conference with an official to verify passports and vessel registration.3:05 The process requires a $19 fee and proof of a valid U.S. visa, as Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory.3:52 Upon arrival, the crew experiences significant sea state at the harbor entrance, described as turbulent, before docking at Marina Puerto Real.23:52 The vessel proves resilient throughout the 48-hour transit, though the crew notes the discomfort of constant motion and water washing over the deck. Strategic course changes allow the boat to avoid the worst of the squall activity by monitoring wind vectors on the chartplotter.10:18
