Teenagers SILENE and SPARTINA only reached France and N Morocco on their 1st journey in 2024. Now they caught the wave to W Africa! They flew together for 10h until SILENE split of to land in basins of a phosphate factory. Let's see how far they'll go! 2/2

Well spotted, Tohar. But at that point she was already floating on the waves for almost 7hours. Looks like LAYLA hit the waves at 09:07 on the 25th, a few kms further offshore.
