Qué cubre este vídeo

Sam Holmes departs Malta for a 100-mile passage toward Tunisia, targeting the volcanic island of Linosa.Watch After replacing the boat's motor mounts and realigning the shaft, the engine runs smoothly without previous vibrations.1:01 During the transit, a generic Amazon off-road spotlight intermittently fails, and a magnetic phone charging pad shorts out, emitting smoke and melting its connector.6:50 The crew maintains a steady 15-knot reach, though a slight wind shift forces a decision between Linosa and the larger island of Lampedusa.3:40 Upon arrival at Linosa, unfavorable wind and swell conditions in the primary anchorage necessitate docking at a tight harbor seawall near a fishing boat.7:42 The mainsail, recently repaired with assistance from Jim and Barbara, performs well after a bottom-section alteration.5:45 The passage serves as a transition from a month-long boatyard stay in Malta, with plans to continue to Tunisia after a brief stop for island exploration.12:18
