The crew of the 40-ft sailboat Uma attempts a 400-mile passage from an anchorage in the Mediterranean toward Mallorca.0:33 Light, inconsistent winds force the crew to motor for extended periods, consuming significant fuel and requiring the use of a portable generator on the bow to manage cabin temperatures exceeding 40 degrees Celsius.15:49 After drifting for two days and struggling with light air, the crew alters their route to Cartagena to accommodate a guest’s travel schedule.10:45 They navigate the final approach to Cartagena at night, anchoring outside the marina before entering the following day.19:16 The crew notes that Mediterranean sea states dissipate rapidly when the wind dies, contrasting with the long-period Atlantic swells they previously experienced.4:37 They also report that Mediterranean wind forecasts often prove unreliable, frequently overestimating wind strength.15:00 The crew plans to reassess their passage planning and Mediterranean weather interpretation while in port.16:29
