Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Adriano, Denise, and Alexandre aboard the 38-foot Khalifa prepare to depart Martinique for Puerto Rico, a passage estimated at roughly three days and three nights. The episode covers the final days of 2025 and New Year's into 2026, anchored at several Martinique locations including Anse Noir, Anse de Noix, and the Fort-de-France area.Watch Adriano spends multiple sessions freediving to scrub the hull bottom — roughly two-thirds complete, with three more hours needed — explaining why a standard dry snorkel works better than a dry-top snorkel for heavy underwater work: the dry-top traps CO2 in the tube, causing dizziness during sustained exertion.18:07 Denise and Alexandre complete their first real snorkel dives, with Alexandre using a basic open snorkel and learning to clear it by blowing.20:55 Provisioning for the Puerto Rico passage includes three kilograms of meat and fresh fruit and vegetables.9:10 The crew plans to clear out of Martinique at either Fort-de-France or Saint-Pierre before departing.27:34 Light wind of 6 knots prompts Adriano to deploy a poled-out downwind sail configuration to maintain 3–4 knots of boat speed.7:15
