¿Qué cubre este video?

A crew of three sails from Puerto Rico to the Dominican Republic, completing their first multi-day offshore passage as they begin a circumnavigation. They maintain three-hour rotating watches throughout the night to manage fatigue and navigation. Upon arrival in Samaná, the crew encounters humpback whales near the boat, noting the region's seasonal whale activity. After spending three days in a marina to address boat maintenance and organization, they continue coastal navigation toward Las Terrenas and eventually Luperón. To avoid crowded anchorages in Luperón, they anchor in the outer bay, which provides a calm overnight stay. During the subsequent passage, the crew emphasizes the importance of activating their EPIRB for safety while offshore, acknowledging they neglected this step during earlier, shorter coastal hops. They also utilize a Starlink Mini for internet connectivity, mounting it on a repurposed fishing rod holder. The crew relies on custom aluminum davits for dinghy storage and notes the availability of local aluminum fabrication services in Puerto Rico.
