Cosa tratta questo video
Zatara departs Fort Lauderdale on its third Pacific crossing, this time with Jack Whitaker serving as captain — a formal handover of command from Keith.4:46 The route runs through the Bahamas, then to Puerto Rico, through the Caribbean, and through the Panama Canal before a month-long offshore passage to French Polynesia. Before casting off, the crew swaps dinghies: the old Highfield is sold through Michael Carroll, and a new Highfield — customized to better fit Keith — is taken aboard.1:49 Jack manages his first overnight watches with roughly two hours of sleep, and the crew discusses the challenge of transitioning command when Keith remains aboard, noting that having two decision-makers complicates Jack's ability to fully own the captain's role.7:55 The first offshore leg reaches Conception Island, Bahamas, where the plan is to swim, rest, and wait on weather before continuing toward Puerto Rico.12:45 Crew aboard includes Kate, Remy, Luke, and Hallie. Keith reflects that Zatara may never return to the United States, suggesting the boat could eventually be sold or handed to the next generation.3:39
