Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the 40-foot sailboat Haraya relocates to a narrow, 200-foot-wide anchorage to escape a swarm of non-biting flies.3:00 To secure the vessel in the confined space, they perform a 180-degree turn using prop walk and engine bursts, then deploy a stern anchor via dinghy to maintain position 75 feet from the shore.3:25 They use a daisy-chain technique to manage the stern line and prevent tangles.8:28 After several days, a shift in wind and an increase in northerly swell cause the boat to hobby-horse, prompting the crew to weigh anchor and motor five miles around the island to a more sheltered side of the sand spit.17:10 The experience highlights the necessity of adjusting anchoring techniques and location based on wind direction, swell, and insect activity.
