Qué cubre este vídeo

The Meder family sails their Van de Stadt Seal, Kira Kira, from Paraty south to Ilha Grande, stopping at several anchorages along the way. With low fuel, they practice a full sail-only mooring maneuver at Mamanguá — dropping anchor under sail, letting the boat swing stern-to the dock, then adjusting chain length to close the gap — a slow, deliberate technique they note is not for the impatient.1:19 The windlass is out of service, so Herman handles the chain by hand.1:36 From Mamanguá they motor-sail to Provetá, a fishing village at Ilha Grande's southern tip, well-protected from the northeast but exposed to the south; a recent cold front brought 70 knots there versus 50 in Paraty.7:01 Timing around a second incoming cold front forces a route change: instead of rounding to Parnaioca on the exposed side, they work north along the inner coast, visiting Agua Verde — a calm, clear anchorage with hiking trails to Praia Longa and Praia de Aracatiba — before anchoring in Saco do Useu ahead of the southerly.12:15 At Provetá they refill water and gas, and scrub barnacles off the dinghy hull to prevent puncture damage.9:27 A sail-only departure from the anchorage is handled solo by one of the crew.10:12
