What this video covers

The crew of the S/V Coralia, a Cabo RICO 42, completes a 700-nautical-mile offshore passage from Fort Pierce, Florida, to Cape Charles, Virginia, in under four days.▶ 20:10 Departing Fort Pierce Inlet at slack tide, the vessel enters the Gulf Stream to leverage the current for a speed boost, averaging between 6.5 and 9 knots.▶ 5:46 The passage involves a mix of close-reaching, broad-reaching, and extended periods of motoring during light-wind intervals.▶ 5:36 Near Diamond Shoals, the crew encounters sustained winds of 23 to 25 knots, requiring a full main and staysail configuration.▶ 15:58 The vessel rounds Cape Hatteras in uneventful conditions before motor-sailing the final stretch toward the Chesapeake Bay.▶ 19:43 The crew monitors an approaching weather front and plans to seek shelter in Cape Charles to wait for the system to pass.▶ 9:44 Throughout the transit, the vessel maintains a consistent pace, though the crew adjusts their goal of reaching their home marina in Herring Bay due to the timing of the incoming front.▶ 9:22
