Qué cubre este vídeo

Vlad departs Samaná, Dominican Republic at 10:45 a.m. aboard the Amel 50 Mirage, bound for Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos — roughly 180–200 nautical miles.0:08 A planned departure the previous day was scrubbed when the wind died; conditions the following morning allowed the Code Zero to fly from the start.0:35 Customs clearance out of Samaná consumed nearly three hours due to computer problems at the immigration office.1:23 Once offshore, the boat faced a contrary current of up to two knots.2:05 At night, Vlad encountered Mooshore Bank and initially considered passing through its center before determining it was an unsurveyed area; he altered course downwind to skirt it entirely, losing some speed as the sails flogged through the maneuver.12:30 Crew member Ella slept through the night without complaint.13:55 The passage ends at Grand Turk, described as a completely flat island, with Salt Cay noted nearby and Providenciales a further 70 miles on — the stated next destination.14:07 A large cruise ship was departing Grand Turk on arrival.16:30 Unsurveyed banks on this route require a detour rather than a direct track.
