¿Qué cubre este video?

Atom, sailing solo aboard *Swan*, departs Praia da Vitoria on the island of Terceira in the Azores for a 650-nautical-mile passage to Porto Santo.8:36 The route follows a southeast heading, transitioning from a course of 106 degrees true to 121 degrees true after rounding the northeast corner of Sao Miguel.9:35 Throughout the transit, the vessel encounters significant sea swells and 15-to-20-knot winds resulting from the remnants of Hurricane Aaron passing to the north.10:09 These conditions force the boat into a close reach, causing violent motion that necessitates reefing the mainsail and furling the genoa during the night to manage being overpowered.20:37 The self-steering windvane remains under heavy load while navigating the swells, which occasionally break over the windward side into the cockpit.13:20 After four days of intense, physically demanding conditions, the wind eases, allowing for a simplified sail plan and improved boat speed.23:16 Consistent, secure stowage of galley items and active self-care are essential for maintaining safety during rough, high-motion offshore passages.
