Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Cruising the Côte d'Azur region of France in 2018, the crew of the 45-foot sailboat *Sea Rose* explored the limestone fjords known as Calanques, including Calanque de Sormiou, Calanque de Morgiou, and Calanque-Port-Miou.2:21 Anchoring in these deep, narrow inlets often required running lines to shore or picking up mooring balls.11:36 Yellow buoys frequently marked restricted zones for swimming or anchoring, necessitating careful navigation.8:05 To improve deck clearance, the crew relocated their ensign from a stern pole to the backstay using a rolling hitch.4:24
When forecasts predicted 25-knot winds, the crew sailed 25 miles from the mainland to the island of Porquerolles to seek shelter and provision.14:24 During this transit, they performed a "wear-about"—tacking through the wind rather than jibing—to maintain control in heavy air.16:12 After picking up a guest in Toulon, they visited Port-Cros before completing a 105-mile passage to Corsica.18:42 Tacking through the wind in heavy seas reduces the risk of an accidental, violent jibe and eases the load on the rig.17:32
