¿Qué cubre este video?

The crew of the 50-ft catamaran *Curiosity* experiences a midnight boarding by the Philippine Coast Guard while transiting the Sulu Sea.0:51 Eight armed officers in a rigid inflatable boat approach the vessel without radio hailing or warning lights, creating a high-stress identification challenge before they confirm their identity and inspect documentation.1:35 The crew later encounters a second Coast Guard patrol that lacks VHF radio capability, requiring the sailors to communicate via hand signals and display a previously issued Certificate of Orderly Inspection (COI) to avoid further boarding.26:21 These interactions occur in a region known for militant extremist activity and recent drug-trafficking busts.7:09 Separately, the owners decide against a planned route through a narrow pass due to concerns over engine reliability in strong tidal currents, opting for a safer, slower passage.8:39 The vessel maintains light-air performance in 8 to 11 knots of wind, though the crew notes that the current B&G navigation system lacks the mobile mirroring functionality they previously utilized on their Garmin setup.29:04
