THE PASSAGE

This leg connects two Atlantic archipelagos through open water.From Madeira, we head northwest into mid-ocean conditions. The coastline disappears early. What remains is horizon, wind, swell, and the discipline of structured sailing.This is sustained offshore navigation. Conditions may range from steady trade-influenced winds to shifting systems requiring tactical adjustment. Landfall in São Miguel is gradual — a volcanic outline forming after days at sea.
