Dirk and Riki depart Portimão, Portugal aboard their Lagoon 410 S2 Suria for a 450-nautical-mile Atlantic passage to Porto Santo, the small sandy island north of Madeira.1:22 Leaving the Algarve coast, they pass through the Iberian orca risk zone — where orcas have attacked and damaged rudders since 2020, sinking three boats — and stow their anti-orca flag once clear.2:19 Conditions run 17–18 knots of true wind from astern, with a persistent beam swell causing heavy slamming against the hulls; they carry a first reef throughout and add a second after dark.6:02 Watch schedule is four-hour shifts: Riki from 22:00 to 02:00, Dirk from 02:00 to 06:00.15:56 At 03:41 on the second night, the distance-to-waypoint display confirms the halfway mark at 231 nautical miles.12:10 They route around a seamount to avoid steepened wave buildup on its lee side.13:04 Average speed over the passage is 6.6 knots.21:35 On approach, wind shifts to head-on, forcing them to roll in the headsail and motor into the harbor at Porto Santo, where they anchor in a tight but workable spot.21:35 The passage completes without gear failures or incidents.21:25
