Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Namasté, a sailboat crewed by Claire and Max, departs Jamaica for Cuba with Max nursing a dislocated shoulder, leaving Claire as sole captain.0:10 Multiple systems fail before departure from Negril on Jamaica's northwest coast: the windlass malfunctions, the engine won't start, and an avionics unit goes offline — all during a violent lightning storm that forces them to turn back.1:13 They finally leave at 0500 and reach Cuba's Jardín de la Reina archipelago, where a dragging anchor in 1.8-knot drift nearly puts them on coral at night; Max, arm injured, enters the water to clear a fishing net fouling the propeller while Claire manages the helm alone.8:10 Lightning then strikes the mast directly, travels to the mast base, and starts a fire aboard.13:04 The strike kills the autopilot, depth sounder, wind instruments, and two of three solar panels, leaving only a portable VHF and one functioning panel.13:56 With 35-knot winds and continuing anchor drag, they abandon the anchorage under double-reefed headsail, divert 60 nautical miles to Trinidad, Cuba, and are held at a military dock overnight — passports and ship's papers confiscated — before eventually reaching Cienfuegos.16:30 Five years of liveaboard experience did not prevent complacency about scope and anchorage selection; the crew names overconfidence in a familiar routine as the root cause of the near-grounding.12:27
