Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew of the ETAC 38, currently cruising the Canary Islands, anchors at Valle Gran Rey on La Gomera to wait for a favorable weather window before a night passage to El Hierro.0:52 The anchorage, situated beneath steep cliffs, offers protection but requires caution due to rockfall hazards near the shore.14:15 During their stay, the crew performs routine maintenance on the outboard motor and replenishes fuel supplies by walking 25 minutes to a local service station.20:45 The skipper investigates a failure of a Wichard iron hand (snubber hook) that snapped under load, concluding that the failure likely resulted from a material defect in the line rather than chafe, as the setup was clear of the bow roller and fairleads.7:46 After several days, the vessel departs for the port of Estaca on El Hierro, navigating a 35-nautical-mile route.22:59 The crew reports light winds near the coast, necessitating engine use to clear the island's wind shadow before setting sail.24:14
