Adriano Plotzky recounts navigating two severe storms during a long-distance voyage, one near Gibraltar and a more intense gale departing the Canary Islands.▶ 0:08 During the second storm, a wave crashed onto the deck and broke the tiller, leaving the boat momentarily without steering.▶ 0:02 The vessel, a small cruising sailboat with a long keel, maintained stability and predictable motion despite the heavy following seas.▶ 1:25 The crew managed the conditions actively rather than sheltering below.▶ 0:48 Later in the voyage, after crossing the equator, the crew encountered two weeks of persistent southeast trade winds, forcing the boat to sail close-hauled toward Salvador.▶ 5:46 This final leg proved physically exhausting due to the constant motion and the need to remain braced.▶ 5:55 The crew relied on pilot charts to time their passage, successfully utilizing favorable winds for much of the Atlantic crossing before the final upwind stretch.▶ 5:08
