Steph and Travis sail their boat, Jibsea, from Rio de Vigo, Spain, to Porto, Portugal, on a 12-hour downwind passage.1:02 After fueling in Rio de Vigo, they depart late morning and encounter 20 to 25 knots of wind.1:24 They maintain a wing-on-wing configuration with one reef in the main and a reefed headsail, averaging 7 to 8 knots while the autopilot manages steep following seas.3:33 Upon arrival at the Douro River, they anchor outside the main channel markers to avoid river traffic and potential wake from tour boats.6:00 The crew explores Porto, noting that the city’s riverfront docks often close and lock gates by 6 p.m., which complicates dinghy access at low tide.9:58 They eventually bypass a locked gate by climbing over to reach their dinghy.11:31 The passage highlights the necessity of managing fuel levels and timing arrivals to account for local infrastructure restrictions like locked dock gates.
