Quite subjected to strong wind regimes, which are also accelerated between the islands, sailing from one island to another in the Canaries is not always a pleasure. Often the sailboats that come from Europe approach the islands from the North, gradually sail down the south-west with downwind conditions and cast off for the transatlantic. Rare are those who go up between the islands.
Hugo, on his motorized Ecume de Mer with a small single-cylinder inboard, sometimes has trouble when the wind runs out. But when he gets up, even though the Ecume de Mer is a good, very seaworthy boat, he still wets his crew copiously. However, the sailor and his boat do not hesitate to sail even against the wind.
