Qué cubre este vídeo

Navigating the Patagonian fjords requires constant vigilance due to unpredictable williwaws and complex currents. During a passage from Coleta Mariachi through Canal Abandonados, the crew encountered wind shifts of up to 70 degrees and sudden, powerful gusts.14:51 To maintain control in these squally conditions, they sailed under jib only, achieving 8 knots of boat speed while avoiding the risk of being overpowered.14:41 The crew navigated around channel beacons and monitored erratic water chop, eventually anchoring in 24 feet of water at Coleta Jacqueline.5:55 A salmon farm and fishing lines obstructed the preferred anchorage, forcing the crew to drop anchor in the middle of the bay rather than tying to shore.10:51 The transition from shore-tied mooring to swinging at anchor required reliance on GPS position and anchor alarms for security.12:02 Despite the challenging navigation and the physical toll of the journey, the crew successfully reached a beach suitable for their dog, Roxy, to exercise.15:17
