Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the 38-ft sailboat *Kira-Kira* navigates the rivers and bays of Bahia, Brazil, while managing frequent anchoring challenges caused by strong currents and tidal shifts. While anchored off the convent at Santo Antonio de Paraguasú, the vessel drags its anchor due to heavy current, forcing the crew to wait for the tide to slacken before resetting.0:42 Later, while moored to a buoy off Ilha dos Frades, the mooring line snaps, requiring the owner to maneuver the dinghy solo to re-secure the boat.4:59 To mitigate future equipment failure, the owner performs a complete overhaul of the electric windlass, replacing the carbon brushes and changing the gear oil.7:40 The crew also navigates the approach to Salinas de Margarida to resupply water and attend to medical needs, noting that the channel markers near the Itaparica naval facility lack lighting and require daylight navigation.9:41 The crew continues to refine a hybrid anchoring technique using both chain and rope to handle varying weather conditions and high-current environments.8:16
