Sailboat braces as squall swallows cargo ships near Singapore

Qué cubre este vídeo

Fueling from a bunker diesel barge in Singapore's busy shipping channel costs James 98 cents per liter — cheaper than Indonesia — but reaching it means threading Triteia's dinghy through cargo ships, tugs, and bumboats in heavy traffic.3:09 Departing Changi Sailing Club for St. John's Island, a squall hits mid-passage through a tanker anchorage; James holds a reefed main for speed while AIS tracks surrounding ships and horns blast nearby.7:48 At St. John's, he anchors in 45 feet with a nine-foot tidal drop expected, sets four-to-one scope, and dives on the hull the next morning to inspect grounding damage from an earlier reef strike in Indonesia.19:36 The GoPro survey reveals bottom paint scraped off, filler caps missing from the rudder bolts, and minor damage to the rudder bottom, but no serious structural cuts — the encapsulated full keel absorbed most of the impact.23:34 He breaks the remaining passage into two legs: a six-mile hop to a recreation island anchorage in 20 feet, then a 16-mile run up the Johor Strait to Raffles Marina, timing both moves around slack water to manage strong tidal currents.25:07 At Raffles Marina, he clears out of Singapore before continuing to Malaysia.28:41
