Javi prepares his boat for an incoming storm in Porto Santo, where weather models forecast sustained winds and gusts reaching 50 knots from the west-southwest.1:13 The anchorage currently holds nine vessels, including one with a disabled engine.3:06 To secure his boat to the mooring buoy, Javi has deployed six lines, including two primary lines attached with bowlines to the buoy's bridle and four additional backup lines.2:39 He recently replaced a chafed line that failed during previous 35-knot gusts.2:59 While the harbor entrance is protected from direct swell by the island's western mountains, Javi remains prepared to deploy his anchor if the mooring fails.3:58 The seabed in the roadstead consists of sand, which provides reliable holding for anchoring in high-wind conditions.5:00 Javi prefers the open anchorage to the local marina, citing the increased complexity of managing a boat within a confined marina slip during severe weather.5:14
