What this video covers

Thais Canado and Beto Toledo sold their boat, the Shogun, after five years of cruising the Mediterranean to transition into a new circumnavigation project aboard an Amel 54.16:20 The decision stems from a desire to pursue a global voyage while prioritizing the health of their dog, Gugão, who suffers from hip dysplasia and mobility issues that make life aboard increasingly difficult.17:09 The couple completed a final 120-mile passage from Fuengirola to Melilla, maintaining an average speed of 7 knots by utilizing favorable currents and the mainsail.12:03 During the transit, the crew navigated heavy commercial traffic near the Strait of Gibraltar by using a fixed reference point on the boat to determine the relative bearing and collision risk of approaching vessels.5:12 Upon arrival in Melilla, the crew secured the vessel and began decommissioning gear, including the dinghy and bicycles, to prepare for the transfer of ownership.13:47 The transition allows the family to provide stable veterinary care for their dog while Beto Toledo joins a new crew for the upcoming global expedition.18:25
