Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Nike sails her 30-ft sailboat, *Carl*, along the coast of Costa Rica, transitioning back to solo sailing after crew member Mark departs.1:16 During a short coastal hop between Bahia Guacamayo and Bahia Hermosa, she navigates narrow cuts using ActiveCaptain waypoints and local knowledge from her friend Paul.4:37 Facing 1.6 to 1.7-meter swells and light winds, she motors at 2.2 to 3.5 knots, often fighting current.5:28 To manage the region's many uncharted rocks and breaking waves, she prefers arriving at anchorages during low tide, which reveals the location of breaking sets and prevents anchoring in hazardous, shallow, or foamy water.6:52 She anchors in 4.5 to 6.5 meters of water, often using 35 to 40 meters of chain to secure the boat in tight, crowded bays.14:13 The crew eventually leaves their boats anchored to dinghy into Bahia Coco to complete customs clearance procedures.15:24
