What this video covers

A cruising couple sailing a monohull from Sardinia to Corsica manages daily life and meal preparation while navigating light winds and shifting weather. During the passage, the crew experiences a sudden wind shift from 3.5 knots to 14 knots of apparent wind, requiring a quick transition from motoring to sailing on a 40-degree upwind tack.7:48 Upon arrival in Corsica, the crew bypasses formal customs check-in procedures, assuming their existing Schengen visa status is sufficient for a short stay.10:06 Living without a functional gas oven, the pair relies on a single-burner induction cooktop for pasta and meatballs, and demonstrates the use of a Cobb Premier Air charcoal grill for outdoor cooking.11:21 The portable grill system includes a pizza stone, roasting rack, and a moat for liquid infusions, and packs into a single carry bag for storage in an outdoor locker.17:07 The crew notes that the southern coast of Corsica experiences higher boat traffic than the northern region.9:32
