The crew of an ETAC 38 steel sailboat navigates coastal passages between the Canary Islands, contending with persistent headwinds, heavy swell, and salt-induced corrosion. During a transit from San Cristobal to Las Palmas, the vessel encounters 15 to 25 knots of wind and 3-meter seas, forcing the crew to motor for the duration of the trip to maintain a schedule.10:50 The skipper reports significant water ingress through the chain hawse pipe during heavy weather, necessitating the use of an electric pump to clear the anchor locker.14:46 Prolonged exposure to salt spray causes visible oxidation on 316L stainless steel components, highlighting the maintenance challenges of extended anchoring without access to fresh water for rinsing.16:35 Upon arrival in Las Palmas, the crew secures a marina berth just before a forecasted storm with 45-to-50-knot gusts.26:00 The skipper utilizes Navionics for navigation but emphasizes the necessity of visual inspection when selecting anchorages to avoid rocky bottoms.11:59
