Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of the 45-ft catamaran *Big Lost* transits the Eastern Caribbean from Les Saintes, Guadeloupe, to Saint-Pierre, Martinique, while managing mechanical issues and heavy weather. During the departure from Les Saintes, the crew’s dinghy swamped in heavy chop and swirling gusts, forcing them to winch it to the sugar scoops to bail it out while underway.17:00 To improve the tow, they moved the dinghy’s painter from a lower sugar scoop cleat to a higher deck cleat.21:00 During the passage, the captain identified vertical play in the starboard propeller blades, indicating worn bushings that require servicing; the crew contacted Gori to arrange repairs in Grenada.15:23 The vessel also navigated dense mats of sargassum that threatened to clog sea strainers and rudders.3:20 Upon arrival in Saint-Pierre, the crew encountered the traditional Yule boat race, which features keel-less, rudderless boats steered by crew members balancing on wooden poles.28:06 The crew notes that mooring balls in French territories often lack pickup lines, requiring the use of a boat hook to lift the heavy eye for line attachment.8:23
