Qué cubre este vídeo
A cruising couple sails a spinnaker-equipped vessel toward El Nido, Palawan, navigating waters dense with unmarked fishing gear and fish-attracting devices (FADs). The crew maintains a vigilant watch from the cockpit to avoid these hazards, which often consist of submerged metal structures. After a successful drone flight—achieved only after a full firmware reinstallation—the boat arrives at a scenic, 10-meter-deep anchorage resembling Yosemite. An attempt to pick up a guest at a nearby pier reveals the site is a private resort, requiring management permission for access. The crew later relocates to a more cruiser-friendly anchorage to provision at a local market, prioritizing fresh, locally grown produce to ensure longevity during upcoming weeks at sea. They rely on local contacts for logistics, including vehicle use and dinghy security, noting that tender theft is a minimal concern in monitored resort areas compared to large cities. The crew also explores regional tourism, specifically the three-day Tao expedition around the islands of Coron and El Nido using traditional paraw sailboats.
