¿Qué cubre este video?

Departing Vigo, Spain, Drake and Monique sail the Westsail 42 south toward Tunisia on a passage that runs through orca-active waters and a busy Atlantic shipping corridor. Drake deliberately routes through the shipping lanes rather than the orca zone, calling ships the lesser hazard.5:42 Fog and rain arrive early; an AIS contact closes to 419 feet before altering course.2:11 Drake monitors multiple ships on radar, AIS, and chartplotter and at one point goes due south to let a vessel pass, then cuts across its stern.14:59 PredictWind's forecast of 13–15 knots from the north-northwest proves accurate; the boat makes roughly 55 nautical miles in the first ten hours out of Vigo.5:22 A DJI Osmo Action 5 camera fails repeatedly, stopping after 5–30 seconds regardless of SD card or microphone configuration; Drake reverts to an older DJI Osmo Action.3:44 A prolonged debate over when to drop the single-reefed main — before sunset versus at the 1 a.m. waypoint turn in the dark — ends with Drake raising it again after losing nearly a knot and a half by taking it down early.11:53 Dropping sail before a major course change costs more speed than expected on a long-distance night passage.
