Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Vlad sails his Amel 50 solo from Rum Cay to Cat Island in the Bahamas, covering 67 miles in nine hours.▶ 10:38 Departing Rum Cay at 8:00 a.m. with 15 to 20 knots of wind on the beam, the vessel maintains speeds between 8.7 and 9.5 knots.▶ 3:18 The route encounters 5- to 7-meter swells with a 20-second period, which the Amel 50 handles comfortably due to the long wave length.▶ 5:33 The passage passes Conception Island, which provides a wind and swell shadow, smoothing the sea state for the remainder of the trip.▶ 6:20 Vlad navigates around Tartar Bank, a shallow 10-meter formation rising from deeper water, noting it as a source of unpredictable waves.▶ 8:10 The final 9 miles require motoring, which allows for battery charging and water production.▶ 9:58 Upon arrival at Cat Island, the crew observes a more active settlement compared to the quiet, declining infrastructure of Rum Cay.▶ 10:38
