O que este vídeo aborda
A couple sailing a catamaran, *Dulce Vida*, completes a 936-mile passage from the Azores to Spain, arriving on September 26, 2024. The final leg of the journey involves significant motor-sailing due to calm conditions, which the crew monitors using Starlink weather forecasts. During the transit, the crew maintains a routine of daily exercise, reading, and shared meals to manage the limitations of life in a confined space. They emphasize the necessity of wearing harnesses during night watches to ensure safety while operating as a two-person crew. The passage includes a technical test of a portable drill-powered pump to clear water from a non-draining bilge area, as well as encounters with dolphins. Upon reaching the Spanish coast, the crew plans to secure the vessel before traveling to Lefkas, Greece, to deliver a Bavaria 35. Maintaining a structured daily routine and keeping the mind occupied are essential for crew morale during long offshore passages.
