Qué cubre este vídeo
A 38-ft ETAC 38 departs the Canary Islands for a 750-800 nautical mile passage to Cape Verde.▶ 10:47 The crew delays their departure by several days to avoid a forecast of 45-knot winds.▶ 0:20 While waiting in port, the skipper attempts to refill French-standard gas bottles at a local facility but finds the island-specific valve sizes incompatible, necessitating a wait until arrival in Cape Verde.▶ 3:20 Upon departure on March 4, the crew encounters 1.5 to 2-meter swells and variable winds.▶ 17:27 They maintain a conservative sail plan of two reefs in the mainsail and a reefed genoa to manage sudden, intense squalls that reach 20-25 knots.▶ 20:54 During the first two days, the vessel experiences chaotic cross-swells and inconsistent wind patterns, causing the boat to heel sharply during gusts.▶ 20:08 By the third day, conditions stabilize, allowing for consistent speeds of 4-6 knots.▶ 22:36 The crew reports successful adaptation to the motion, despite initial seasickness, and continues to monitor weather via Windy while managing battery charging and meal preparation.
