Qué cubre este vídeo
The sailing vessel Escapade arrives in Cartagena, Colombia after a six-day passage from the United States — the final hours spent drifting 3 nautical miles offshore in near-zero wind after experiencing 47–50 knots earlier in the passage.Watch With the outboard malfunctioning and fuel exhausted, the crew contacts friends Pat and Brent, who motor out with jerry cans of diesel just before a 2.5-meter-deep channel entrance.1:15 The crew notes a submerged underwater wall near the channel, reportedly built centuries ago to stop pirates and only recently identified through archaeological findings.6:02 Entering Club de Pesca marina in Cartagena, they back the boat stern-in to a tight concrete finger berth, requiring multiple attempts in crosswind.10:16 The passage itself saw wind predictions roughly half of actual conditions, with the worst weather concentrated in the middle days; the final drifting day was calm by comparison.7:46 On arrival the crew showers, connects shore power and water, and begins the marina check-in process.13:41 The shredded sail from the heavy-weather portion of the passage is visible as they dock.5:21
