Qué cubre este vídeo

Riki flies back to Portugal after four weeks away, rejoining Dirk aboard Suria, a Lagoon 410 S2, anchored in the Portimão area of the Algarve.0:03 The episode covers their final weeks in Ferragudo and Portimão before departing for Porto Santo, the island neighbor of Madeira — a 450-nautical-mile passage expected to take three days.21:31

Dirk grounds the dinghy on a falling tide at Ferragudo's boat ramp, where no dedicated dinghy dock exists; he waits roughly three hours for the water to return before freeing it.2:02 The crew sails a solo tack under foresail only while Dirk services the watermaker, with Riki executing autopilot-assisted tacks alone.11:40 Pre-departure provisioning includes a large supermarket run with help from friends Heidi and Robert, and Dirk 3D-prints a compass mount for Robert's boat.14:59 A branch tangles in the bridle overnight and a neighbor from Eve helps clear it.18:54 Departure preparations shown include switching on the central navigation instruments, VHF, autopilot, and chart plotter, then rigging jacklines on both sides.22:09 Suria clears the anchorage with sails set, immediately entering the orca risk zone at 41 meters depth off the Portuguese coast — the passage itself is covered in the next installment.23:25
