What this video covers
Javi navigates the fourth day of an Atlantic crossing from the Azores toward the Iberian Peninsula, contending with extreme boat motion caused by large swells.▶ 0:42 Despite moderate winds of 15 to 18 knots, the vessel maintains a conservative sail plan with two reefs in the mainsail and a reefed genoa to minimize structural stress.▶ 3:30 The crew monitors weather developments via Garmin messaging, tracking the progress of the boat Marisol as it encounters a developing low-pressure system near La Coruña.▶ 1:55 The current passage plan aims to clear Cape of San Vicente by Friday evening to avoid navigating the high-traffic area at night in forecasted winds exceeding 30 knots and significant sea states.▶ 2:49 Real-time tracking and meteorological data for the transit remain available through the Predit Win tab on the channel page.▶ 3:57
