#60: 1000 nautical miles to Cape Verde

Thank you for your patience! This is the video that took me the absolute longest time to upload: 52 hours to be exact! 

In this video, we tackle the second leg across the Atlantic with a 7 days passage from Lanzarote to Mindelo in Cape Verde, with our friends (and some of our first Patrons!) Jules and Tenney. Jules and Tenney were some of the best crew we’ve ever had on board, and we have fantastic memories of sailing with them. 

The first days, we never had such a smooth sail! We could finally play with the twin headsail setup, hoist our gennaker for the first time, we had TOO MUCH success at fishing (I didn’t know there was such a thing!) 

After a few days though, the wind died on us and our engine started to inexplicably lose power, making the situation a literally “sticky”, when we discovered that we had a case of diesel bug.
