Nike and Flo transit 170 nautical miles from the mainland coast of Spain to Ibiza aboard the sailboat Santana.0:23 With light winds forecast, the crew performs a pre-departure check of the Volvo Penta engine, including oil, coolant, and transmission fluid levels.3:19 During the passage, the water maker frequently stops due to air intake caused by boat motion and wave action.8:17 The crew maintains a four-hour watch rotation, though Nike notes difficulty sleeping while acting as crew on an unfamiliar vessel, eventually using the JupyloBox app to manage sleep anxiety.10:27 A high-speed catamaran ferry triggers an AIS collision alarm, forcing a course adjustment.6:42 Mid-passage, the in-boom furling system sustains damage when loose rivets fail due to constant sail flogging in light air.13:46 Flo repairs the boom using a drill while underway, allowing the crew to hoist the mainsail for the final 20 miles of the trip.13:46 The passage concludes with a whale sighting and arrival at the anchorage of Tagumagu.16:58
