A delivery crew sails a Hallberg-Rassy 69 from Cannes, France, to Ellos, Sweden, covering the first leg to Gibraltar and then north along the Portuguese coast.0:37 The 750-mile transit from Cannes to Gibraltar takes four and a half days, utilizing following winds and seas.0:59 Upon reaching La Línea de la Concepción, the crew refuels in Gibraltar to secure duty-free diesel, requiring 1,870 liters for the remainder of the voyage.4:41 To mitigate the risk of Orca interactions, the crew chooses to stay offshore near traffic separation schemes rather than hugging the coast, relying on speed and anecdotal evidence from other large vessels.5:36 While transiting the Portuguese coast, the crew monitors weather patterns using GRIB data to avoid a developing low-pressure system bringing 30-knot winds and significant swell.6:25 They pause for 36 hours in Cascais to wait for conditions to improve before continuing toward A Coruña.9:42 The vessel maintains a fuel-efficient cruise at 1,700 RPM in overdrive, achieving 7.5 to 8 knots while burning under 10 liters per hour.9:05
