Cosa tratta questo video

Johan and Malin sail 750 nautical miles from La Restinga, El Hierro, to Mindelo, Cape Verde, on a passage marked by light winds and mechanical issues.0:18 The crew experiences seasickness and inconsistent trade winds, forcing them to motor for extended periods.1:49 During motor use, the stuffing box on the propeller shaft begins to overheat and emit a high-pitched sound, a recurring issue previously noted in the Bay of Biscay.6:19 Because the boat cannot be hauled out in Cape Verde, the crew limits engine speed and duration to prevent further damage until they reach the Caribbean.7:07 Despite initial plans to wait for sunrise to avoid unlit hazards and wrecks, the crew enters the Bay of Mindelo at night due to dying winds.15:32 Upon arrival, they complete immigration and maritime police check-in procedures in one hour, noting the process is more straightforward than guidebooks suggested.16:57 The crew catches a mackerel mid-passage and maintains a wing-on-wing sail configuration to maximize speed in light air.12:25
