Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Nika and Flo sailed their boat, Carl, 360 nautical miles north from Acapulco, Mexico, with stops in Zihuatanejo, Caleta de Campos, Punta Negra, and Tenacatita.1:05 The crew maintained an average speed of 4 knots, balancing offshore night watches with remote work.1:31 After four days in Tenacatita, they departed for a 115-nautical-mile passage toward Yelapa, timing their transit around Cabo Corrientes to coincide with light southerly winds to avoid the area's notorious northerly swells and currents.4:06 During the passage, Nika deployed the boat's whisker pole for the first time in 11 years of ownership to sail wing-on-wing, overcoming a long-standing hesitation regarding the gear's complexity and safety.6:37 The crew successfully managed the maneuver with 12 to 20 knots of wind.5:43 They ultimately bypassed Yelapa to head toward Tomatlan, where they planned to execute a stern-anchor mooring in a confined, deep-water anchorage.9:02
