Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of Nandji - Frothlyfe sails south along the west coast of Madagascar toward the Barren Islands, a remote archipelago of sandy keys located 50 miles offshore.1:02 The passage involves navigating upwind in 10–12 knot winds, with the vessel maintaining speeds of 7–8 knots.2:55 Upon arrival at Nosy Boro, the crew uses a drone to identify a sandy patch for anchoring after an initial attempt in the dark resulted in the boat resting on the edge of a rocky reef.8:30 The crew manages a faulty furling drum on the headsail, which requires manual intervention to prevent the line from jumping the drum during deployment.15:59 While anchored, the crew observes local nomadic sea people who navigate the region in traditional outrigger sailing craft.4:56 The crew notes that the islands offer poor protection from southerly winds, leading to uncomfortable, rolly conditions at anchor.12:41 They plan to continue south to Morondava to meet additional crew before crossing the Mozambique Channel.10:05
