What this video covers

The crew anchors at Isola del Giglio, Italy, in a bay near the port where the Costa Concordia struck rocks in 2012.2:16 After initially anchoring in a crowded bay with poor holding in grassy patches, the crew relocates to the north side of the island to escape incoming swell and wind shifts.4:30 This northern anchorage offers better protection, 4G internet, and easier dinghy access to a small beach for their child and dog.5:28 The crew spends four days at this location, balancing boat maintenance—including a recurring saltwater leak in the watermaker—with daily shore excursions and beach time.10:02 They adjust their sailing routine to accommodate the needs of their infant, prioritizing shade during the heat of the day and timing shore visits around the child's sleep schedule.11:07 The decision to move to the northern anchorage provides calmer water and improved accessibility for shore-based activities.5:22
