What this video covers
Javi navigates the final stretch of an Atlantic crossing from the Azores towards the Iberian Peninsula, currently positioned 192 miles from Cabo de San Vicente.▶ 1:27 On the sixth day of the voyage, the crew struggles with light, inconsistent winds and frequent rain, forcing them to hand-steer the boat through the night because the autopilot cannot maintain a steady course in the shifting conditions.▶ 1:45 Boat speed has remained between 3 and 5 knots for two days, delaying their expected arrival.▶ 3:52 The crew anticipates reaching Sagres by the seventh day, likely arriving at night.▶ 5:12 They expect to encounter stronger winds and heavy maritime traffic near Cabo de San Vicente, which will require manual navigation without the assistance of the autopilot.▶ 5:06 The vessel's real-time position is tracked via PredictWind.▶ 6:29
