Qué cubre este vídeo

Unexpected 20-knot winds and rapidly building seas force a crew to relocate their boat from an exposed anchorage to a more protected spot behind a nearby island.Watch The weather forecast had predicted calm conditions, but the wind speed exceeded expectations by 15 knots, creating confused, multi-directional waves that caused the boat to pitch and roll heavily.0:02 During the transit, the crew towed their dinghy, Yvette, using a secondary safety line to prevent loss due to potential chafe on the primary painter.9:24 Upon reaching the new anchorage, the crew deployed a swell bridle to orient the bow into the incoming waves, reducing the boat's side-to-side rolling motion.18:44 The system uses a line attached to the anchor chain and led to a cockpit winch, allowing the crew to adjust the boat's heading relative to the swell.21:10 Technical issues occurred when the BNG depth sounder shut down due to a voltage spike from the battery bank.13:49 The crew plans to return to the original dive site once the weather stabilizes.28:36
