What this video covers

After 18 days at sea, the crew of Eva arrives in Horta, Azores, and spends several days exploring the island before returning to their Bahamas season narrative.0:17 Jade Evans, Brett Evans, Aiyana, and Jade's mother rent a car, hike, visit sea caves, and picnic on a floating dock in front of a castle.0:32 Within eight hours of anchoring, an unforecast squall hits 45-knot gusts — against a forecast of 15 gusting 25 — ripping holes in the bimini and tearing a solar panel through the fabric; the entire anchorage scrambles to lash down gear and re-set anchors.8:17 The crew takes the bimini down and lashes the solar panels.10:24 Laundry at a Horta laundromat costs $30 for three washers and three dryers; anchoring fees run $15 per day with no dinghy dock or water included.14:35 Groceries are cheap enough that the crew still rates the Azores among their most affordable stops.14:44 Following the Atlantic-crossing tradition, they project and trace a logo of their dogs Dingo and Penny onto the Horta seawall at night, planning to fill in colour the next day.18:55 Camera batteries died during the passage, limiting filming quality for the island footage.1:50
