Cosa tratta questo video

A solo sailor completed a 650-mile passage from the Bahamas to Puerto Real, Puerto Rico, navigating the Mona Passage by planning a route far to the east to maintain a beam reach and avoid adverse currents.3:38 By staying east of the Mona Passage, the vessel avoided the strong northbound currents that often complicate the transit.5:00 During the passage, the autopilot struggled due to excessive sail area, which the sailor attributed to a failure to reef in time.6:21 The vessel maintained an average fuel consumption of approximately 73 gallons for the 650-mile trip.17:19 Technical issues included non-functional running lights, which required rewiring, and a persistent radar failure that the sailor plans to address with Garmin support.1:38 The sailor utilized Starlink for AIS data to monitor nearby traffic and relied on meal prep to manage the five-and-a-half-day transit.2:09 Future plans involve island hopping east toward Grenada while waiting for favorable weather windows to avoid low-pressure systems.6:28
