What this video covers

Nike and Flo sail their 10-meter boat, Santana, 40 nautical miles from an anchorage in Vinigera, Gran Canaria, to Callao Grande on the east coast of Tenerife. The crew departs to outrun an approaching low-pressure system forecast to bring winds in the upper 30-knot range and heavy rain.6:19 During the transit, wind speeds remain between 12 and 18 knots with minimal sea state, allowing the crew to maintain a steady course under full sail.5:37 Nike utilizes the autopilot connected to the wind vane to maintain heading in light morning winds.8:39 The passage contrasts with previous experiences in the Canary Islands, where shifting winds and confused swells from multiple directions frequently made landings difficult and anchorages uncomfortable.6:54 Upon arrival at Callao Grande, the crew finds a protected bay with calm water, providing a temporary reprieve from the rolling conditions experienced at previous stops.9:53
