Cosa tratta questo video
Day 17 of an Atlantic crossing aboard Regina, sailing from Guadeloupe toward the Azores.0:31 The destination shifted from Horta to Isla de Flores because easterly headwinds make Horta unreachable.1:10 About 390 miles remain, with arrival estimated at three-plus days given persistently light following winds that have forced repeated motoring through the night.3:10 Fuel reserves stand at roughly 150 liters — four 20-liter jerry cans plus one partially full tank.2:32 Regina is sailing wing-on-wing without a pole: Javi chose not to rig the whisker pole because a wind shift is expected within hours, at which point the genoa will be moved to the other side.0:59 The gennaker ran for about 30 consecutive hours earlier in the passage and performed well in the light downwind conditions.2:00 On arrival at Flores, Javi plans to anchor on the island's west side rather than use the port, which offers poor shelter when easterly winds arrive.3:03 The Azores observe UTC, two hours ahead of mainland Spain.3:54
