Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew navigates the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, toward the Wilmington area, covering approximately 50 nautical miles in a 12-hour day. The transit involves passing numerous fixed bridges and several swing bridges, requiring careful coordination with bridge operators. While navigating, the crew monitors depth closely using Navionics, noting significant fluctuations between 3 and 7 meters depending on the tide and specific channel segments. The vessel experiences a minor incident when the rudder becomes briefly lodged in shallow water during a current shift, necessitating a quick maneuver to clear the obstruction.

The route passes through highly developed areas characterized by dense residential construction and private docks. Due to an unfavorable weather forecast predicting 25-knot winds and a lack of suitable protection in the initial planned anchorage, the crew decides to extend their day to reach a more sheltered location. They utilize a staysail to maintain speed against a head current before anchoring for the night. The captain plans to address a malfunctioning watermaker the following morning.
