Nike and Flo sail their boat from an anchorage off Sotavento beach to the southern tip of Fuerteventura.0:12 To manage 20-25 knot winds while anchored at Sotavento, the crew ran a line from the anchor chain to the boat's stern to keep the bow pointed into the waves.1:07 During the transit, they sail wing-on-wing at four knots while trolling for fish.6:25 Upon arriving at Playa de las Coloradas, they find the anchorage untenable due to heavy breaking waves just 1.5 boat lengths away.7:39 They relocate to the marina at Morro Jable to avoid the surf.8:09 While maneuvering to adjust their position, a paddleboard tether fouls the propeller, stalling the engine.10:30 Flo clears the line from the prop while the boat drifts near the break.11:48 After two nights in the Morro Jable marina, the crew departs for Gran Canaria.11:55
