Qué cubre este vídeo

A Grinde 27 departs Indonesia for Gili Gedi on a 100-plus-mile coastal passage along the Lombok coastline, needing to time arrival at a tidal pass for the 10 a.m. ingoing current.▶ 5:18 Headwinds and a persistent counter-current of up to one knot reduce boat speed to one and a half knots or less, and at midnight the boat makes zero knots over ground at full engine revs with the mainsail up.▶ 0:05 Over six hours the boat goes two and a half miles backwards.▶ 0:36 The engine is too fragile to run continuously through the night, forcing a choice between motoring into the current and risking overheating or sailing backwards.▶ 15:35 FADs, squalls, shifting winds, and debris — including frequent plastic-bag fouling on the fishing line — demand constant attention throughout.▶ 0:13 Navionics loses its primary device when the phone stops charging; the crew logs into a second device to recover the chart.▶ 11:35 Watch-keeping splits night helm duty so the skipper can sleep.▶ 17:48 The boat finally enters the pass 45 minutes late and immediately accelerates to seven knots on the ingoing current.▶ 18:48 Coastal passages with tidal gates require planning for worst-case VMG, not average speed, because counter-current can erase hours of progress.
