What this video covers

A crew of six departs the Canary Islands on a 62-foot catamaran for an Atlantic crossing, intending to reach the Caribbean.2:11 The passage begins with light winds and calm seas, allowing the crew to deploy a large parasail and maintain a routine of cooking, reading, and exercise.2:38 During the transit, the crew encounters a whale and catches a mahi-mahi after several failed attempts that yielded only ocean plastic.4:31 Due to a failed grocery delivery in the Canary Islands, the crew makes an unscheduled stop in Mindelo, Cape Verde, to restock fresh produce.18:43 While in Mindelo, the host explores the local terrain on foot, hiking into the hills surrounding the bay.19:53 The vessel, significantly larger and more comfortable than the owners' personal boat, proves well-suited for downwind sailing.13:09 The crew notes that managing the 62-foot catamaran requires patience and multiple hands for sail handling.8:04 After one night in Mindelo, the crew prepares to depart for the final leg of the Atlantic crossing.22:59
