Qué cubre este vídeo

The crew of the sailboat Jade travels from Tenerife to La Palma by ferry to observe the Cumbre Vieja volcano eruption.0:37 Having previously visited Santa Cruz de la Palma by boat in late September, they warn against sailing to the island during volcanic activity due to heavy ash fall.1:28 This abrasive volcanic ash infiltrates deck hardware, including winches, pulleys, and jib tracks, acting like sandpaper and requiring persistent cleaning weeks after departure.2:02 On October 29, the crew arrives in La Palma to witness the eruption and coincidentally observes the start of the Mini-Transat race from Santa Cruz de la Palma.3:52 They travel by car to Los Llanos, a town near the eruption site, where they encounter significant ash accumulation on vehicles and infrastructure.8:10 While the volcanic activity is visually striking, the crew advises using alternative transportation rather than a boat to visit the island during an eruption to avoid long-term damage to sailing equipment.2:25
