Cosa tratta questo video
A couple sailing from Spain to France across the Bay of Biscay covers 226 nautical miles under sail alone, avoiding engine use to conserve fuel.▶ 9:50 Throughout the passage, the crew manages boat speed to ensure a daylight arrival at their destination, intentionally slowing the vessel to two knots by furling the headsail when arrival times threaten to fall in the middle of the night.▶ 15:32 The skipper navigates light winds and rolly seas, opting to sail through the night rather than motor for 13 hours.▶ 11:36 A mid-passage jibe on a port tack significantly improves their course and speed toward the waypoint.▶ 14:20 The crew maintains a watch schedule, monitors radar for nearby traffic, and prepares one-pot meals in the galley despite heavy rolling.▶ 17:19 The decision to prioritize sailing over motoring requires careful speed management and timing to align their landfall with sunrise.
