The joys of big game fishing
As they finally reach the northern latitudes of Africa, the crew members are finally enjoying the weather that is consistent with the expected image of an outbound transatlantic race, from Europe to the Caribbean. Sunshine and slipping under the spinnaker are on the agenda, completed by a visit from dolphins.
The crew of the Atlantic Pretenders is trying again to troll, hoping to have more success than when they had their line stuck in the propeller in the north of Spain. Between making the hook and the lure at home and exultation when the first tuna is caught, smiles and joyful scenes weld the crew of the Pogo 12.50 Luna Rosa.
Next, the galley is an essential part of life on board, as all yachtsmen who have sailed for a long time at sea can testify.
A boat with capricious materials
However, if the cruise is still having fun, the boat regularly reminds itself of the good care of its crew. The episode is not called Bricole en Stock for nothing. Between halyard breakage and climbing the mast at night and tearing the spinnaker, the incidents are repeated and sometimes affect the enthusiasm of the crew, as the camera captures with modesty.
The arrival in the Canaries marks the end of the first major leg of this Transat. Each of them is apprehensive about the landing on Spanish soil, where a new crew member should join the group.
