Adriano Plotzky navigates his 2-meter draft sailboat, *Mariska*, through the river bars of Vazabarris and Sergipe in Aracaju, Brazil.0:06 Both bars present significant navigational hazards due to shallow depths, shifting channels, and breaking waves that require precise timing with the tide.0:47 Plotzky times his departure from the Vazabarris bar for the high tide at 5:30 a.m. to ensure sufficient clearance over the shallows.0:59 He and his crew monitor depth soundings continuously to avoid grounding as they navigate narrow channels between breaking waves.3:31 After exiting the first bar, the vessel motors 15 miles to the Sergipe bar, waiting for the afternoon tide to ensure a safe entry.11:30 During the transit, Plotzky troubleshoots the boat's NMEA network, specifically addressing a recurring issue where depth data failed to display on the autopilot.17:25 He emphasizes that safe passage through these bars requires patience, local knowledge, and an understanding of the vessel's limitations.11:43
