What this video covers
Jibsea sails the Galician coast of Spain, navigating the Costa da Morte—the "Coast of Death"—following a crossing of the Bay of Biscay.0:05 The crew encounters steep, confused seas caused by swell reflecting off the region's hard rock shoreline, which makes maintaining sail shape difficult in 14 to 17 knots of wind.3:36 A faulty wind transducer provides inaccurate data, showing high speeds in light wind conditions.3:00 After checking into the country at A Coruña, the crew decides to extend their passage by an additional three and a half hours to bypass a forecasted high-wind system funneling around the northwest corner of Spain.13:24 This decision aims to maintain progress toward the Mediterranean to manage their three-month Schengen visa limit.14:34 The crew utilizes an Insta360 X3 camera with a 300-centimeter extension stick to document the sea state, noting that the drone remains grounded due to the heavy swell.4:13
