Sailing Oceanaire | Wik & Rox · video

What this video covers

Wik and Rox sail their boat, Oceanaire | Wik & Rox, from the Italian mainland toward the Aeolian Islands, covering a 42-nautical-mile passage to Stromboli.10:34 The crew motors the entire distance due to a two-week lack of wind.10:50 Upon arrival at Stromboli, they anchor in a crowded, exposed spot near the active volcano, which erupts every 10 to 20 minutes.11:59 The vessel experiences significant rolling at anchor, a recurring issue during their coastal transit; the crew attempts to mitigate this by using a dinghy to pull the stern into the swell, though the maneuver proves ineffective.9:44 During the journey, the crew manages daily logistics including grocery runs in Diamante, paddleboard excursions, and minor repairs to hatch blinds.5:00 They observe firefighting aircraft operating near their anchorage and witness a heavily overloaded dinghy navigating the same waters.8:03 The crew eventually takes their own dinghy to the far side of the island after dark to view the volcanic activity.13:35
