Qué cubre este vídeo

A couple planning a 45-nautical-mile coastal passage from a Spanish river anchorage to Rota, Spain, uses PredictWind to time their departure with a favorable falling tide.0:25 They schedule an engine start at 06:30 and anchor retrieval at 06:45 to ensure they clear the channel before the tide turns against them.11:08 The route avoids shallow areas and stays within safe depth contours, bypassing a fixed bridge with a 58-foot clearance.3:43 The crew monitors AIS targets and commercial traffic while navigating the channel, noting that strong current and wind conditions at their previous anchorage caused significant tension on the anchor chain and prevented sleep.23:23 They prepare for a 12-hour day on the water, opting for a conservative route close to the coast to avoid deeper, potentially hazardous water.9:26 The passage plan includes a primary destination and a secondary anchorage near Rota, selected based on wind protection from the west and south.7:55
