Qué cubre este vídeo

A 46-ft Beneteau Oceanus sailing from the Abacos to the Exumas in the Bahamas encounters uncomfortable rolling conditions caused by a following swell on the back quarter. The crew navigates the shallow banks and coral bombies by cross-referencing Navionics charts with satellite imagery on Google Maps to identify sandy patches for safe passage and anchoring. During the transit, the vessel experiences persistent mainsail jamming issues. Upon reaching Highborne Cay, the crew anchors in a protected sandy spot before taking a dinghy to Allen's Cay to feed iguanas. Navigating the Exumas requires constant vigilance for unmarked coral heads, particularly in choppy, high-wind conditions where visual identification of hazards becomes difficult. Relying on digital satellite overlays alongside standard electronic charts provides a necessary backup for identifying navigable channels through shallow, rock-strewn waters.
