Qué cubre este vídeo
A 30-ft sailboat, *Triteia*, completed an 1,111-nautical-mile solo passage from the Maldives to the Seychelles across the Indian Ocean.34:13 During the 10-day transit, the vessel encountered chaotic sea states caused by wind slamming into opposing currents, alongside frequent, unpredictable squalls.13:44 The engine stalled twice due to fuel starvation; the first incident occurred when low fuel levels and heavy rolling caused the pickup tube to suck air, while the second involved a potential vent hose obstruction.14:14 The crew successfully bled the diesel engine to restore power.15:51 Throughout the passage, the vessel navigated heavy commercial traffic, including a near-collision with a tanker that required radio communication to coordinate a course change.3:31 The crew utilized an AIS for collision avoidance and relied on a shore-based contact to monitor ship plots via Marine Traffic.16:32 The passage concluded with the vessel anchoring at the Seychelles quarantine anchorage.42:11 Maintaining a consistent five-knot speed required frequent sail adjustments, including reefing the main and managing headsail deployment during squall activity.27:45
