The crew of the Lagoon 410 S2 Suria departs Cartagena, Spain, for a 134-mile passage to Formentera, Balearic Islands.13:00 After experiencing heavy swell and high temperatures in Cartagena, the crew utilizes a narrow weather window to begin the transit.1:33 During the passage, the vessel encounters light winds, forcing the crew to motor-sail at speeds as low as 1.5 knots when wind drops to 4–5 knots.18:14 The autopilot struggles to maintain a steady course in these light conditions, triggering multiple alarms due to insufficient rudder flow.18:13 The crew manages traffic from fishing vessels, noting the difficulty of navigating around trawlers with long nets and bright, distracting navigation lights.18:14 Technical issues persist, including a malfunctioning AIS unit that sounds an alarm every 30 seconds and a broken bread maker.14:54 The crew maintains a two-person night watch system to manage fatigue.17:37 The passage highlights the challenges of light-air sailing and the necessity of monitoring weather windows for Mediterranean crossings.
