CAPTAIN ZIANE · βίντεο

Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Solo sailor Captain Ziane logs day three of a Mediterranean passage bound for Sicily, covering roughly 511 km on a route he describes as one of the longer options across the basin.10:04 Persistent headwinds of 11–14 knots force him to motor for most of the day, burning through his limited fuel supply — a 27-liter tank topped up with a 20-liter jerry can that was already 5 liters short at departure, leaving him tight on diesel by nightfall.3:45 Wind speed fluctuates between 5 and 11 knots with no consistency, and a full calm midday forces him to drop the headsail and run the engine for hours.1:10 Windy had forecast beam winds; the actual conditions were dead on the nose throughout.13:43 Fuel management dominates his decision-making: he detours off-course to sail rather than motor, accepts 2–3 knot boat speed to conserve diesel, and estimates arriving 15 liters consumed over the passage.9:31 Near midnight he navigates around multiple ferries in close proximity at 35 nautical miles from the coast, taking 30-minute catnaps between checks.16:33 A fishing lure bought on Temu bends and loses both hooks after a strike — he concludes cheap hardware costs fish.8:19 Weather forecast accuracy beyond two to three days in the Mediterranean is unreliable; the longer the passage, the less the forecast holds.1:37
