A bordo del Thalia · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

Gabriela and Nacho, an Argentine couple, have lived aboard their 100-year-old wooden sailboat Thalia for four years, starting in Tigre before relocating to the Uruguayan coast.5:10 The pandemic triggered their decision to leave conventional careers — Nacho in IT, Gabriela in hairdressing and accounting — and pursue full-time liveaboard sailing.3:51 Thalia is their second boat; their first, Ibicuy, was built in 1932.3:06 The boat runs on solar panels and batteries, carries a satellite internet antenna, and has heating but no air conditioning.7:22 Daily routine tracks weather, river conditions, and water capacity.7:52 Two recent incidents illustrate the risks: a night of heavy storm swell in an exposed port that broke rigging and cost them 20–25 hours of sleep, and a flash-flood current surge (arriada) in a creek that two months earlier dragged the boat into other vessels and a dock.11:17 Their dog Tati wears a life jacket and is clipped to a lifeline in rough conditions.20:37 The couple's short-term plan is to depart for Brazil in April; their long-term goal is to continue living aboard as long as physically possible.22:47 Thalia's name predates their ownership and they kept it.28:16
