What this video covers

Javi and Carlos reach the second day of their Atlantic crossing from La Palma to Martinique.Watch The crew manages the autopilot, nicknamed Fidodido, which has performed reliably despite initial challenges. Sailing conditions shifted overnight from a dead run to a broad reach, forcing a change in sail configuration to maintain speed and improve surfing performance. The boat currently carries a genoa and a staysail, with the genoa poled out to optimize the downwind angle. The crew prioritizes maintaining a consistent heading toward Cabo Verde to maximize surfing opportunities in the current wind state. Carlos manages the technical adjustments and sail trim with patience as the pair navigates the North Atlantic. The crew acknowledges the support received from friends and family via messages sent to the channel.
