Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Javi brings Regina into the port at Caleta de Sebo on La Graciosa, the small island off northern Lanzarote, for the first time in a year after a lengthy marina layup following a complete engine failure during a crossing from the Iberian Peninsula to the Canary Islands.3:45 The port charges roughly €18 per day for a 38-ft boat during high season, but advance online reservations are mandatory — no reservation means no entry regardless of available berths, which Javi identifies as the reason the marina sits half-empty while the anchorage at Playa Francesa holds around 30 boats.3:11 Leaving the marina, Javi accidentally routed the diesel return line to a full tank instead of the correct one, flooding the bilge with diesel before he diagnosed and corrected the mistake.4:49 The engine ran cleanly for seven hours on the passage but still emits some smoke despite a turbo replacement; Javi considers the issue closed.5:51 Retrieving the Vulcan anchor from Playa Francesa, the chain fouled repeatedly on surface rocks, bent the anchor tip, and required Javi to dive and then patiently lower the chain in sections until each snag released.6:31 A Sigma Drive shaft coupling installed earlier is reported vibration-free; full details are deferred to a follow-up.9:51
