The crew of the Blue Horizon sails from Vlissingen, Netherlands, to Dieppe, France, navigating coastal waters characterized by significant tidal ranges and industrial shipping lanes. During a night passage from Calais, the crew encounters a small, overcrowded inflatable boat carrying approximately 20 people in open water without life jackets.10:05 They observe a coast guard vessel nearby, which they assume is responding to the situation.12:22 Throughout the transit, the crew manages various technical challenges, including motoring against headwinds, navigating around charted minefields, and timing arrivals with high tide to avoid grounding in shallow harbors.12:36 In Dieppe, they encounter an 8.6-meter tidal range, requiring careful selection of a berth to ensure the boat remains afloat at low tide.13:50 The crew utilizes a storm jib for heavy-wind passages and relies on local kiosks to procure SIM cards for connectivity.5:10 The experience of witnessing the migrant vessel prompts the crew to reflect on the relative nature of their own sailing difficulties and the importance of perspective.11:12
