Qué cubre este vídeo
Javi, sailing the 2.1-meter draft vessel Regina, completes a 30-mile passage from northern Antigua to Barbuda.1:31 Before departing, Javi consults the No Foreign Land app to verify exit routes through the northern reefs, ultimately deciding against a shallow-water passage recommended only for keel-less boats.0:36 Instead, he exits through the same unmarked channel used for entry, navigating carefully to avoid extensive rock and reef barriers.1:04 During the transit, the crew maintains speeds of 8 knots in 12–15 knots of true wind, encountering significant sargassum patches and a brief, intense rain squall that requires immediate deck stowage.9:53 Upon approaching the southern coast of Barbuda, Javi maintains distance from the shoreline to avoid uncharted coral heads.11:34 The vessel anchors off a long, continuous beach near the lagoon, where the crew plans to use their dinghy to navigate a breach caused by Hurricane Irma to reach the town of Coddington for customs clearance.14:19
