Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A catamaran named Squib departs on a Danube river passage in an unfinished state, and the first two days deliver repeated groundings. Leaving late at night, the crew drives the port hull onto a sandbank in mud roughly 15–20 cm deep; Peter dives to assess the grounding while Sabina works the winch, and a shore line tied to a tree pulls the boat free in about one hour without using the engines.0:35 A second sandbank grounding occurs the following morning near Pilismaroth, requiring another anchor swim and winching effort.17:21 At river kilometer 1777, roughly 150 km into the trip, current speed has dropped from 15–16 km/h to about 1.5 km/h as the Danube widens, giving an over-ground speed of 10–11 km/h.3:14 The crew refuels — roughly 25 liters to port, 17–18 liters to starboard — after approximately 20 engine hours.16:45 Approaching Budapest, they divert into the Szentendrei Arm to avoid commercial shipping.20:33 A 24-hour rain forecast prompts a stop in Budapest for resupply; forgotten provisioning items include salt, sugar, cooking oil, shower gel, and guest flags for Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, and Romania.10:22 Departing before a boat is fully outfitted guarantees forgotten gear but may be the only way to actually leave.9:57
