Qué cubre este vídeo

A family sailing from the Bahamas to Florida encounters a strong, south-flowing counter-current along the coast of Freeport, which forces them to motor for approximately 10 hours to maintain progress.3:40 The crew struggles with light, inconsistent winds and uncomfortable, multi-directional swells that cause the sails to flog violently.4:19 After an overnight passage, they abandon plans to sail to St. Augustine due to a lack of wind and instead head into Fort Pierce Inlet.10:17 Upon arrival, they experience difficulty setting the anchor in the inlet's strong current and poor holding ground near the Coast Guard station, eventually finding better holding near a small island.12:53 They attempt to clear U.S. Customs using the ROAM app, but a dropped internet connection during a video interview forces them to take a dinghy ashore to secure a local SIM card and finalize their entry.11:41 The passage covers roughly 250 nautical miles, with the infant onboard remaining largely unaffected by seasickness.10:25
