Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Giuseppe sails his boat, Maruzza, solo from Chios to the southern coast of Evia, Greece, a passage across the Aegean Sea requiring a night transit.0:05 To avoid a navigational hazard, he plots his course using traditional paper charts, dividers, and a hand-bearing compass, supplementing with GPS only as a backup.1:34 During the passage, the wind vane’s lead counterweight detaches and sinks; he restores steering functionality by rigging a water-filled bottle as a makeshift weight.7:32 To manage heavy commercial ship traffic without radar, he maintains a strict watch routine, setting an alarm to scan the horizon every ten minutes.9:09 He performs two jib changes to adjust for shifting wind speeds, maintaining an average of 4 to 5.5 knots.3:56 The 20-hour transit concludes with his arrival at Evia.18:06 The experience highlights that while solo night passages require rigorous, fatiguing watch schedules to ensure safety, improvised repairs can successfully maintain critical gear like wind vanes.
