Cosa tratta questo video
Alex and Cory navigate the Bahamas without an engine, relying on sail power for all maneuvers, including anchoring and entering tight, coral-strewn harbors. While anchored in a choppy, tide-affected anchorage, they use the mainsail to relieve chain tension during retrieval to prevent injury.2:10 The pair completes a 24-nautical-mile passage to West Bay on New Providence Island in under five hours, averaging six knots with gusts up to 25 knots.8:00 They perform multiple tacks to navigate around breakers and coral heads to reach the anchorage.8:15 Later, they anchor at Green Cay near Rose Island, using the mainsail to backfill and set the anchor in a sandy patch.11:18 The crew observes numerous green sea turtles feeding on seagrass beds, noting the importance of avoiding anchor damage to these habitats.17:12 They continue their transit toward Spanish Wells, encountering significant swells while sailing without mechanical propulsion.20:11
