Incredible how you personally prove that solar and electricity totally works and is the future !!! Just promise and totally make sure that you take all precautions, failure or tragedy will be used against you and your concept, which is becoming increasingly big, meaningful and impactful for each video you post! Incredible and important work you are doing - but please, for all these reasons and many more: Stay Safe !!!

Lukas, cant's wait to see you an Admiral, by that I mean multiple boats, I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I'm surprised there is not already a flotilla of "black boats". First time I get some free time, I'll build one and I'll bring the fish and some lemons so you guys don't get scurvy :)), safe travels, beautiful people!

Good luck and safe travels. I have serious concerns about taking that boat into the Atlantic. I think you are taking completely unnecessary risks, I know you don't and will do what you think is right, but please be extra careful. The current forecast for that area up as far as Faro looks good but even with a good weather forecast the sea state could be rough enough to cause that boat major problems.

I’m loving the journey up to now. Just a bit apprehensive about the wave height once you get through to the Atlantic. Also congratulations to one of your country’s best female Marathon runners. She smashed it.

Another great video with a lot of great explaining and details. Thank you! Also, you have a nice, deep and calm voice for the explaining. :)

As a Portuguese who has sailed across the coast, I advice you to go with caution. Especially after you get out of Lagos and start approaching Sagres. On that cape the north wind (nortada) starts immediately to be felt. Waves can sometimes be misleading and grow high rather quickly with messy rip currents which can be a challenge for your prototype.

@truthhertz9883 1 month ago

My concern is that if the boat nosedives into a wave that it will come over the bow, through windshield and slosh all the way back to the stern where your electronics are. I've been in a small boat in high winds and high Seas. It's not fun.
