Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Thais Canado and Beto Toledo complete a circumnavigation of the island of Elba, Italy, while managing a failing inflatable dinghy and preparing for an 80-mile passage to Corsica.0:33 The dinghy suffers from widespread leaks along the side seams that prove impossible to patch with Sikaflex.1:29 Despite financial support from followers to purchase a replacement, the crew cannot source a new boat locally due to summer holiday closures.1:19 The pair anchors in Porto Azzurro, where they observe multiple vessels dragging anchor in the crowded bay; some boats strike rocks before the coast guard intervenes.7:40 The crew attributes the dragging to poor holding in areas with seabed vegetation.7:59 While waiting for a weather window to cross to Corsica, the boat encounters 25-knot winds, forcing the crew to reef the sails and reduce speed from 7 knots to 4 knots.9:14 They plan to depart in the late afternoon to arrive in Corsica the following morning.7:48
