Qué cubre este vídeo

A Swan 47 S&S sails the Wild Atlantic Way northward around Ireland, threading a series of gale windows in the remnants of Hurricane Lee.0:18 Chris departs Galway on a 100-nautical-mile overnight passage to Blacksod Bay, sheltering from 40-plus-knot southwest winds.0:25 An attempted 24-mile leg to Ballyglass is aborted when the sea state at Black Rock turns dangerous and wind rebuilds to 30-plus knots.1:43 A revised passage plan across Donegal Bay, originally targeting Killybegs Harbour, is updated mid-sail when the wind shifts southwest; the boat reaches Melmore Head instead, anchoring in the lee ahead of a forecast northwesterly gale that pins them for two nights.2:35 A window between gales opens for a 45-mile run to Portrush, sheltering from a Force 9 near Malin Head for two more nights.4:23 The crew then sails to Ballycastle as a staging point, crosses the North Channel around the Mull of Kintyre in rough conditions, and arrives at Campbeltown before continuing to Tarbert Marina to wait out southerly gales.5:47 The passage ends with a 25-plus-knot downwind run into Largs.6:59 Continuous weather routing — reading actual conditions against forecasts and updating passage plans in real time — proved essential to safe progress along this coast.
