Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A solo sailor transiting from Gibraltar toward Toulon alters the planned direct route to coastal hop along the Spanish Mediterranean due to light winds.19:01 During the passage, a loose metal bracket on the engine housing causes a cooling hose to chafe and leak, filling the engine bilge with water.6:53 The sailor repairs the damaged hose using self-fusing silicone repair tape, which successfully seals the leak after a second application.7:39 While navigating near San Jose and Garrucha, the vessel encounters heavy commercial traffic and a Guardia Civil helicopter conducting training exercises.18:43 The sailor notes significant fouling on the hull and a lack of anti-fouling paint at the bow, while also performing interior cleaning and maintenance on the boat’s wood varnish.16:56 Despite the lack of wind necessitating frequent engine use, the sailor chooses to explore coastal anchorages rather than maintain a direct offshore course.35:58
