The crew of the 44-ft catamaran *Zatara* prepares for an Atlantic crossing by staging in a marina in Spain, adjacent to Gibraltar.3:34 To mitigate the risk of orca interactions during the upcoming transit to the Canary Islands, the crew plans to hug the coastline in shallow water—between 25 and 50 meters—before heading south to clear the known encounter zone.20:10 They have acquired waterproof firecrackers as a deterrent, intending to test the fuses before departure.18:01 During the transit to Gibraltar, the crew practiced night watch rotations, during which the autopilot disengaged and the vessel came within half a nautical mile of another boat.10:05 While in port, the crew provisioned with four carts of supplies totaling approximately 1,953 euros and replaced their bulky traditional fenders with inflatable FenderTex units to save storage space.16:54 They also visited a Cabrinha store in Tarifa to inspect kiteboarding gear.13:30 The crew remains cautious about the orca threat, noting recent reports of rudder damage to other vessels in the region.20:48
