The crew of Viento del Mar sails from Durban to Richards Bay, then north to Inhaca Island, Mozambique, to compete in the 2026 Inyaka to Richards Bay race — approximately 210 nautical miles (350 km) down the east coast of Africa.1:29 The passage north hugs the coast to avoid the southward-flowing Agulhas Current; the race route goes well offshore to exploit it, picking up three to four knots of current assist and hitting boat speeds above 13 knots on the downwind run.32:54 A fisherman's net fouled both propellers in the Inhaca anchorage and took 30 minutes to cut free.11:06 Navigating into the anchorage required daytime pilotage to avoid shifting sandbanks — a breaking wave bar had moved from its charted position, validating the decision to anchor outside overnight rather than enter in the dark.10:33 A race yacht dragged anchor and was pinned against the new 1.2-km Chinese-built pier; Mika and Viento del Mar rigged a tow line and pulled it clear.25:15 The spinnaker tore early in the race, forcing wing-on-wing sailing for the remainder.30:24 A Dorado caught on the passage north won the onboard fishing competition; a sailfish was hooked near Ponta d'Oro but released.6:33 Prize-giving was held at Zululand Yacht Club, Richards Bay.36:35
