Cosa tratta questo video

Departing Monkey Bay Marina on the Rio Dulce after a 10-month refit, Steve and Annette aboard Venus abandon a planned Honduras stop because British citizens require a visa obtained in Guatemala City.▶ 0:13 The departure itself stalls when the helm wheel keyway goes missing; Steve fabricates a replacement from keystock using a broken vernier gauge before they can leave.▶ 1:37 They overnight at Cayo Comodo — described as roughly halfway to Livingston, with bars and restaurants but no shops — then proceed to Livingston to check out of Guatemala.▶ 3:48 Venus draws 1.8 metres; the Livingston bar tide reads 1.9 metres, the same height at which they touched bottom entering nine months earlier.▶ 9:09 Steve decides to heel the boat using a spinnaker halyard attached to a second vessel while a tow boat pulls them through.▶ 8:47 Overnight rain kills all instruments — depth sounder, speed, everything — before the crossing.▶ 9:35 Mid-bar at roughly 25 degrees of heel, the tilting line snaps; Venus briefly rights itself and touches bottom before the line is re-rigged and they complete the crossing.▶ 13:42 The episode ends with Venus anchored in the bay outside Livingston, bound for Belize and the world's second-largest reef.▶ 17:29
