Qué cubre este vídeo

A crew sailing a 38-ft sloop through the Puerto Rican Caribbean navigates from Vieques to Culebra, managing heavy swell and wind while attempting to visit Puerto Mosquito for bioluminescence. The vessel, an ocean-rated Class A boat, encounters significant rolling at anchorages, complicating the manual deployment of their dinghy, which currently lacks davits.1:54 During the transit, the crew switches from sailing to motoring to maintain a direct course and improve comfort in larger seas.1:40 Upon reaching Culebra, they secure supplies and water, and perform maintenance by scraping and renaming the vessel's hull.27:52 The crew notes that the lack of davits makes dinghy operations time-consuming and difficult in rough water, requiring the dinghy to be lifted onto the foredeck.13:13 The passage involves navigating around restricted military zones and managing wind-against-tide conditions.17:46 The trip concludes with the crew preparing a meal while anchored in Culebra.29:46
