Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of Yabá, a vessel with a 1-meter draft, navigates the Varadouro Canal, a narrow, shallow, man-made waterway connecting the estuaries of Paraná and São Paulo states in Brazil.▶ 0:21 Because the route is poorly charted and features shifting sandbanks, the crew relies on waypoints shared by friends and real-time visual navigation to avoid grounding.▶ 0:36 They time their passage to coincide with rising tides, noting that getting stuck at high tide risks being stranded as water levels recede.▶ 6:04 The transit includes stops at Ilha do Mel and the traditional Caiçara community of Marujá on Ilha do Cardoso, an area protected as a state park.▶ 23:32 The crew uses radar to navigate through dense morning fog and monitors depth closely, often seeing as little as 1.6 meters of water.▶ 17:36 After completing the canal transit, the boat prepares for a 30-hour offshore passage toward Ilhabela.▶ 25:38 Following established waypoints and maintaining a shallow draft are essential for safely navigating the canal’s narrow, winding sections.
