Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Nike and Flo sail their Hallberg-Rassy 352, named Santana, on a 480-nautical-mile passage from Rabat, Morocco, to La Graciosa in the Canary Islands. The four-day transit involves navigating confused, choppy seas and cold temperatures while both crew members manage physical exhaustion and illness. During the passage, the boom vang hardware loosens due to heavy motion, requiring an at-sea repair to the mounting bolts. The crew maintains a steady speed of five to seven knots using a wind vane for steering, though they occasionally switch to the engine when wind conditions become light or unfavorable. They manage energy levels by alternating watches and prioritizing rest, despite the discomfort of a noisy, rolling boat. The passage concludes with a pre-dawn arrival and anchoring at La Graciosa.
