What this video covers

Dirk and Ricarda, living aboard their Lagoon 410 catamaran *Suria*, complete a two-and-a-half-year Mediterranean circuit by sailing from Almerimar to Gibraltar.15:38 Before the final 130-mile overnight passage, the couple spends two weeks in Germany to renew passports and handle administrative tasks, noting that separating applications for a passport and national ID card increases the likelihood of securing online appointments at local government offices.4:56 Returning to Almerimar, they prepare the boat for the transit, which they navigate using both engines for harbor maneuvers.12:41 During the passage, they encounter unforecasted 3.5-knot headwinds and counter-currents near the Strait of Gibraltar, adding ten hours to their travel time.18:55 Upon arrival, they anchor at their previous spot near the Rock of Gibraltar to prepare for Atlantic cruising.18:45 The crew utilizes a specific flag at the helm as a symbolic deterrent against orca interactions.15:14
