Qué cubre este vídeo

Sailing along the Albanian coast toward the border with Montenegro, a solo sailor navigates light winds and avoids unmarked fish traps and nets that extend from the shore. After departing Durrës, the vessel completes a 20-mile tacking sequence to cover 8 miles of progress, eventually anchoring in 7.5 feet of water near a coastal cape.1:50 The sailor encounters significant hazards to navigation, including unlit fish farms and submerged nets not marked on charts.3:25 Upon arrival, the sailor swims ashore to explore the ruins of a coastal fort and surrounding bunkers, noting the presence of dense sea urchin populations in the shallows.6:54 Electrical issues persist as the house battery bank, recently converted to lithium, fails to maintain a charge due to a disconnected alternator and insufficient solar input.4:20 The sailor uses an FPV drone to film the fort and coastline, noting that international operation avoids US-mandated remote ID requirements.9:13 The passage concludes with plans to transit into Montenegro.11:09
