What this video covers
The crew of an ETAC 38 catamaran transits from the anchorage at Cristianos, Tenerife, to La Gomera in the Canary Islands.▶ 1:05 While anchored at La Laguna de Santiago, the crew experiences significant rolling due to the boat's swim platform slapping against the water, which complicates launching the dinghy.▶ 17:32 The vessel remains in a wind-protected pocket, experiencing 15 knots of wind while nearby offshore channels see 30 to 35 knots.▶ 16:46 The skipper notes that the anchorage is dry and rocky, with limited local agriculture.▶ 12:56 During the passage, the crew catches an 8.2-kilogram mahi-mahi (dorade coryphène).▶ 8:05 To preserve the catch, the skipper cleans and fillets the fish, then processes it into shelf-stable glass jar preserves using a pressure cooker/bain-marie method with olive oil, onions, garlic, and herbs.▶ 22:24 The process involves sterilising jars and boiling them for approximately two hours to ensure the fish is fully cooked and sealed.▶ 20:58
