Cosa tratta questo video
A Lagoon 410 catamaran, Suria, departs southern Sardinia bound for Almerimar on Spain's mainland coast — a 550-nautical-mile passage sailed non-stop over five days and nights. Dirk and Rigi skip the Balearic Islands entirely, riding an unusually sustained easterly wind that Windy and Strim both forecast to hold through the week.▶ 7:09 Early in the passage, the gennaker furler bracket breaks away from the bowsprit; Dirk had been sitting on the dolphin seat there just two hours earlier.▶ 9:20 A container ship approaches on a collision course, fails to respond to repeated VHF calls on two separate radios, and forces a 30-degree starboard turn at the last moment.▶ 20:44 Fishing produces a large tuna after a prolonged fight in 2,000 meters of water, requiring Suria to slow to under 3.5 knots to haul it aboard.▶ 12:54 An inverter failure diagnosed earlier — loose pins between circuit boards caused by wave motion — is repaired at anchor; the crew notes the inverter powers the watermaker and Starlink, and plans to buy a backup unit.▶ 2:52 Suria arrives at Almerimar marina, secures a berth at the catamaran dock, and the crew flies home from Málaga the next morning to renew passports.▶ 24:24
