Nike and Flo sail their boat, Santana, from Los Cristianos, Tenerife, to La Gomera in the Canary Islands.0:04 During the passage, they encounter an acceleration zone, a phenomenon where northeast trade winds compress and funnel between high volcanic islands.1:42 Mount Teide, rising 3,750 meters, forces wind speeds to spike from near-calm to 27 knots in the channel.1:52 The crew identifies these zones by monitoring weather forecasts and observing whitecaps and changing sea states on the water.2:02 After navigating the wind, they find shelter in the lee of La Gomera and anchor in Laguna de Santiago.3:11 They later relocate to a remote, unnamed bay featuring an abandoned fish factory, where they meet a resident named Claude who lives off-grid using solar power and water storage.5:08 The crew hikes a steep, serpentine path from the bay to the mountain ridge to view the surrounding volcanic terrain and their anchored vessel.6:54
