Cosa tratta questo video

Mads and Ava sail their 1987 Warrior 38, *Athena*, on a 96-nautical-mile overnight passage from Barbados to Bequia.0:47 They maintain a steady 15-knot following wind, poling out the headsail to manage speed and arrive at daylight.4:10 Upon arrival, the windlass fails due to a loose connection on a bus bar, a recurring electrical issue that previously caused a total DC and AC power loss during the passage.8:02 After tightening all connections on the positive and negative bus bars and the shunt, they verify the system’s integrity using an iPhone-connected thermal camera under a 3,000-watt load.9:38 The crew uses the SailClear website to streamline customs and immigration formalities in Bequia.8:39 They also test Starlink’s performance offshore under the mobile priority plan, noting that the system maintains a stable connection despite exceeding their 50-gigabyte priority data limit.5:59 The trip concludes with a visit to the historical whaling ruins on Petit Nevis and a social gathering with fellow cruisers.10:54 Regular inspection of electrical connections under load prevents intermittent power failures.
