Thilo and Leonie depart a Mediterranean port aboard their sailboat after weeks of refit work — new rig, new electronics, and a motor check — and sail toward the Strait of Gibraltar bound for the Atlantic.0:49 Leaving in a light 2–3 knot breeze, they motor-sail most of the passage, fighting variable winds and contrary current through the Strait, arriving at Tarifa after dark and anchoring in 18 meters of water with 30 knots of wind.13:52 The next morning they push the final 15 miles to Barbate on Spain's Atlantic coast, racing ahead of a forecast storm.15:44 That storm delivers gusts to 47 knots over three days; the marina at Barbate provides full shelter.21:29 Thilo recounts a previous encounter with orcas in the same waters — one breached completely clear of the water before the pod struck the boat — and notes the area remains active orca territory.16:36 The passage highlights the Mediterranean's chronic wind inconsistency: calms, swell without wind, and constant motoring contrast with the Atlantic swell already running at Barbate.7:44 Their next planned stops are the Canary Islands and, by New Year, Cabo Verde, where they intend to explore beyond Mindelo for the first time.2:35
