Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Janae and Jason sail Escapade from Malta to Sicily during a European heatwave, motorsailing the first stretch in light air before picking up 20 knots on a downwind run along Sicily's eastern coast.3:47 They anchor at Syracuse, calling in on VHF to declare their arrival — reporting boat flag, nationality, crew count, boat name and type, origin, and next destination — before checking in formally the following morning.5:33 From Syracuse they motor-sail to Catania, stopping one night at a marina described as unresponsive to VHF and email but helpful on arrival, where the primary purpose is collecting a Bluetti portable power station.6:58 The inverter trips when shore power is disconnected in 40-degree heat, and the Bluetti immediately runs a fan while Jason troubleshoots the inverter from the manual.12:46 The passerelle is deployed for the first time with the tender raised to its highest davit position to clear it — a fit that works after two attempts.9:34 From Catania, with Mount Etna smoking overhead, they sail to Taormina, anchoring in a bay crowded with superyachts and noted for 150 Navilitas reviews.15:04 Daytime temperatures reach a real-feel of 45–50°C; the cats require cooling mats, wetting down, and a fan.17:24 Evenings are spent exploring Taormina's hilltop old town by scooter, eating arancini for two to three euros.18:22
