Qué cubre este vídeo
Strong 25-to-30-knot winds pin the 30-foot sailboat Good, Bad, and Ugly at anchor in Puerto Rico, forcing the crew to delay their departure and manage limited supplies.1:13 The crew paddles a dinghy to shore to reach a local mini-mart for groceries, avoiding a longer trek to a distant store.5:25 While anchored, the crew performs routine maintenance, including manual laundry using buckets and fresh water jugs, and attempts to clean marine growth from the hull.9:00 A previous Flex Seal repair on the dinghy failed after six weeks, requiring the crew to return to bailing water.11:20 The crew chooses to remain at anchor rather than sail upwind in heavy conditions to avoid potential equipment damage and passenger discomfort.6:21 The experience highlights the trade-offs between the convenience of marina-based provisioning and the challenges of remote, wind-exposed anchorages.
