Qué cubre este vídeo

A solo sailor completes a three-day, 346-nautical-mile passage across the Ionian Sea from Vasiliki, Greece, to Malta.0:09 The transit involves frequent sail changes between a spinnaker and a jib-and-mainsail configuration to maintain speeds between 4 and 7 knots.6:04 During the passage, the sailor manages a crash jibe that forces the release of a preventer and the subsequent lowering of the mainsail after the mainsheet slips from its clutch.25:38 Navigation relies on cellular data for weather forecasts, as the sailor deems a satellite plan unnecessary for Mediterranean waters.23:04 The vessel arrives at a mooring field in Malta with 13 feet of water over a sand and rock bottom.29:44 Upon arrival, the sailor attempts to use an electric outboard motor for the dinghy, but the unit smokes and fails during charging.30:12 The passage concludes with the sailor reaching a total of 720 days at sea, meeting the time requirement for a U.S. Coast Guard captain’s license.27:17
