Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of the Squib covered 113 kilometers during a calm, sunny day of motoring without wind.▶ 0:42 They encountered minimal commercial freighter traffic, noting that passing vessels maintained a friendly distance.▶ 1:10 During the transit, the crew discovered the propeller of their electric outboard motor was missing, likely lost two days prior; the lack of load on the motor had prevented the battery from draining as expected.▶ 1:48 The crew also stopped for a swim approximately five kilometers upstream from Calafat, where they encountered a sandbank populated by cormorants and a single pelican.▶ 2:52 Due to a four-kilometer-per-hour current, they deployed a fender on a long line as a safety tether to prevent drifting away from the boat while in the water.▶ 2:31 The anchor windlass noise caused the birds to vacate the sandbank immediately upon arrival.▶ 3:06
