The crew arrives in Santiago – the main island in the Cape Verde archipelago. In order to improve the boat’s autonomy, Corentin is looking for a low-tech system to grow vegetables; a system that would be easy to build, cheap and as water-efficient as possible.

An imposing mountain, the ocean as far as the eye can see and – stuck in between – the small Tarrafal bay with its magnificent beach. It is here that Corentin meets Sergio Monteiro Roque. He is the first to have developed a soil-free cultivation technique: hydroponics. The lack of water has forced Cape Verde to import 80% of its food. As an agricultural engineer, Sergio is the right one for the job.
