Cosa tratta questo video
Alison sails the 35-mile passage from Antigua to Barbuda aboard Nova Vita, maintaining an average speed of 5.5 to 6 knots in 9 to 12 knots of wind. During the transit, the crew encounters several rain squalls, necessitating the furling of the headsail three miles off the Barbuda coast to allow a large cell to pass ahead.5:34 Upon arrival, Nova Vita anchors in 2.5 meters of water in Low Bay South, where the crew spends four days.6:14 Navigation near Barbuda requires close attention to the depth sounder and charts, as the island is low-lying and surrounded by shallow water; the crew reports only one meter of clearance under the keel while departing the anchorage.9:39 The return passage to Antigua features calm seas and light winds, allowing for full sail configuration.9:16 The anchorage at Low Bay South offers clear water and sandy bottom holding, though sailors should remain aware of nearby rocks and rapid depth changes near the shoreline.
