Hva denne videoen dekker

Regina completes its second Atlantic crossing, this time eastbound from the Caribbean, arriving at Flores in the Azores.0:13 Flores is not a Schengen entry port, so Javi and crew must proceed to Horta to complete official customs entry into Europe; police still need to board and check the boat before they can go ashore.1:22 The harbor master, Jorge Ventura, was contacted by WhatsApp and confirmed a berth despite the port's non-entry status.0:56 A high breakwater wall complicated docking until a Spanish tourist named Jesús, fishing on the quay, caught lines and helped secure the boat.2:39 Diesel resupply proved difficult: the nearest fuel station is two kilometers away, and automated pumps reject non-Portuguese bank cards.2:58 Jesús drove the crew to multiple stations without success; a return trip the next day aims to find an attendant and pay cash.4:14 Regina carries roughly 80 liters of diesel remaining and plans to sail to Horta on wind.4:29 Non-Portuguese cards do not work at unmanned fuel pumps in Flores, making cash the only reliable payment option for visiting sailors.3:30
