Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the cutter-rigged sloop *Nandji - Frothlyfe* navigates a 1,500-mile passage from Brazil toward French Guiana, crossing the equator while managing low diesel reserves.2:16 Faced with light, unpredictable winds and a reliance on motoring, the crew decides to prioritize heading north to reach the northeast trade winds rather than chasing favorable currents along the coast.5:34 This strategy proves successful, allowing the boat to maintain speeds of 6–8 knots under sail once they reach the North Atlantic.15:12 The transition across the equator brings a shift in sea state and the sudden appearance of dense patches of sargassum seaweed, which complicates fishing and threatens to foul the propeller.10:15 During the passage, the crew catches a wahoo, resulting in a foot injury that requires immediate cleaning and antibiotic treatment to prevent infection.17:22 The crew maintains a Keen Specialty insurance policy tailored for tropical zones and potential lightning strikes.11:46
