Solo Sailor Atlantic Circuit Part 3 - Azores to Morocco

Mark continues his travels on his modified Cape Dory 36 Swan on the third leg of his Atlantic circle cruise, sailing from Horta, Azores in June 2025 to Praia da Vitoria on the island of Terceira. On August 25 he departed Azores for a 5 day passage to Porto Santo (Madeira). After a brief layover he made a passage to Agadir, Morocco in just under 4 days, completing his first Atlantic crossing. The next leg will be his passage from Morocco to Cape Verde. A unique aspect of this voyage is that for auxiliary propulsion he is using a tilt-up 6kw electric outboard in a custom built well in the lazarette locker. Since it has very limited range he mainly uses it only to depart and enter harbor. For more videos on preparing his boat for this voyage, check out the Cape Dory 36 Refit Playlist on this channel.
