Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the vessel NV cruises the remote coastline of North Borneo between Kudat and Kota Kinabalu, navigating light winds and frequent tropical squalls.1:48 The transit relies on a newly installed Nanni engine, which provides consistent power for maintaining speed during wind-against-tide conditions.0:53 To compensate for a non-functional watermaker, the crew utilizes a custom-built rain catcher system fabricated in Kudat, which effectively fills the boat's water tanks during the wet season.8:45 Exploration of the region includes stops at Pulau Asokan and Pulau Pandan Pandan, where the crew observes local stilt villages and wildlife, including potential crocodile sightings.2:39 The crew notes significant plastic pollution on remote beaches and discusses potential waste-to-fuel or building-material solutions.5:45 The passage serves as a break from ongoing refit projects, though the crew anticipates future mechanical challenges, including fuel management and windlass repairs.13:17
