Qué cubre este vídeo
SV Delos sailed 350 nautical miles from Richards Bay to East London, South Africa, in 32 hours, averaging 10.8 knots with a top speed of 18.8 knots. The passage utilized 30 to 40 knots of wind and a 5-knot current to surf down 3-meter waves. Upon arrival in East London, the captain sought medical treatment for a tick bite, which caused fever, chills, and swollen lymph nodes; a local doctor prescribed doxycycline and pain medication. The crew subsequently motored 170 miles to Port St. Francis, navigating an unfamiliar, shallow harbor entrance at night with the assistance of a local guide in a tender. The guide directed the vessel into the private marina during a 2:00 AM high tide to avoid grounding. The crew relied on radar and charts for coastal navigation but emphasized the necessity of local knowledge for entering small, tide-dependent South African harbors at night.
