Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Anchoring in the Viveros anchorage of the Las Perlas Islands, the crew manages uncomfortable, rolly conditions caused by shifting winds and fetch from the Bay of Panama.7:37 To find better protection, they relocate two boats to the opposite side of the anchorage, seeking the lee of the land.7:56 During the maneuver, the crew demonstrates an anchoring technique that involves setting the anchor at a 2:1 scope to test the bottom holding before paying out a final 4:1 scope.11:31 When wind is insufficient to drift the boat back, they use idle reverse to provide tension while feeling the chain for skipping.11:43 The process includes navigating around shoals using an iPad for reference and monitoring engine load by sound in the absence of an RPM gauge.9:32 The crew also demonstrates a method for quickly retrieving a dinghy anchor by pulling the painter until the anchor clears the bottom.3:17
