No Land for 7 Days - Sailing to Cape Verde | Ep.13.

7 days with no land in sight. An 850-mile offshore sailing passage across the Atlantic from Gran Canaria to Cape Verde. We set sail from Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, to Mindelo, Cape Verde, with two additional crew members on board. For seven days there is no land in sight - just the open Atlantic Ocean, night watches, sailing and the rhythm of life aboard Zoé during a bluewater passage. This route from the Canary Islands to Cape Verde is a classic Atlantic offshore leg, yet it still brings uncertainty. Near the coast of Mauritania, an unidentified vessel followed us for hours, raising concerns about potential piracy at sea. Along the way, dolphins escort the boat multiple times, we catch a dorado, and after a full week of long-distance sailing, we finally sail into Mindelo at sunset in strong winds. 🌊 If you enjoy our videos and would like to support us, please consider joining our Patreon crew for real-time updates and exclusive contents, or support us on Ko-fi with a one-time donation.
