Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Chilu and Eze perform the long-delayed renaming ceremony for their boat on Florida's Intracoastal Waterway, officially retiring the previous name Tross and christening the vessel with prosecco in place of champagne, following the traditional ritual of writing the old name on a silver coin and casting it overboard as an offering to Neptune.18:51 The delay stemmed from needing to polish the old name out of the gelcoat during a haulout; the renaming was done at the boatyard and the ceremony held once back underway.20:22 The episode also covers a tense early-morning departure from a marina after 30-knot winds pinned the boat against the dock, forcing a narrow exit window before conditions worsened further.2:06 Eze climbs the mast to oil a seized anemometer, which fails to spin freely afterward and will need disassembly or replacement.8:16 The crew installs a third mast-mounted camera higher than the previous two, which were lost when the sail swept them off.5:21 A low fixed bridge on the Intracoastal requires a precise low-tide transit with no north wind to avoid elevated water levels.9:59 The episode also explains the switch to Polish flag registration: one-time fee, no annual safety-equipment reporting requirements, and no nationality restriction — unlike the previous US flag, which the Argentine crew could not legally maintain.23:38
