Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Rigi and Dirk motor the Lagoon 410 Suria roughly 75 nautical miles from Syracuse to Valletta, Malta, arriving at the well-protected Sliema bay where anchoring is prohibited and mooring buoys are nearly full.3:51 They execute three separate mooring-buoy maneuvers, using a dinghy each time, before securing a final spot.4:32 The main technical focus is a Starlink installation: the dish arrives via post in Valletta, Dirk removes a failing wind generator from its mast mount to free the mounting point, and the Starlink antenna goes up in its place.15:26 Setup requires an existing internet connection to complete the app-based configuration; download speeds reach 390–490 Mbit/s and upload is confirmed functional.12:39 The supplied power adapter lacks a European plug, requiring a field-wired fix.10:42 Ashore, they navigate Valletta by dinghy using the Komoot app, visit the Casa Rocca Piccola palazzo museum (built from 1580, 50 rooms, still partly inhabited), and note diesel at €1.20 per liter.21:12 Malta's bilingual culture, UNESCO-listed old city, and pyrotechnic festival tradition are covered. A cautionary account describes a previous boat owner grounded on a small Italian island and charged roughly €6,000–€10,000 in salvage and storage fees.23:49 The crew departs for Gozo next.25:06
