What this video covers

Javi reports on the second day of an Atlantic crossing from the Azores to the Iberian Peninsula.0:15 The crew maintains a speed of 7 knots on a close reach with full sail, despite experiencing unstable wind shifts during overnight squalls.0:24 These squalls caused the wind to oscillate between sides, though the low CAPE index meant the gusts remained manageable without requiring sail reduction.1:39 The vessel expects a period of light winds, necessitating a transition to motor-sailing with the mainsail while furling the genoa.2:07 A wind shift from the current southeast flow to a more favorable northeast breeze is anticipated by late evening.2:46 This northeast wind is expected to persist through the remainder of the passage, increasing in intensity as the boat approaches Cabo San Vicente.3:07 Real-time tracking for the voyage remains available via the PrebitWind link and the Garmin inReach device accessible through the channel’s homepage.3:27
