Qué cubre este vídeo

A 27-ft Grinde sailboat navigates the current-heavy waters around Lombok, Indonesia, while transiting between Gili Gedi and Gili Air.4:00 The crew uses the Windy app to time departures, avoiding strong tidal currents that can reduce speed to one knot in the channels.0:57 After experiencing engine noise and suspected prop shaft growth, the crew performs underwater inspections and attempts to clear the obstruction by shifting into reverse.2:39 The vessel later moves from the rolly, high-traffic anchorage at Gili Air to a calmer, sandy-bottomed bay nearby to facilitate remote work.12:05 Provisions are sourced from local markets, where the crew navigates police roadblocks and searches for two-stroke outboard oil, noting that TCW-3 is the preferred standard for marine engines.19:33 The crew utilizes a snubber line on the anchor chain to provide shock absorption and protect the windlass, securing it over the chain to ensure redundancy.16:27
