Cosa tratta questo video

On day 18 of an Atlantic crossing, the crew of a cruising sailboat manages fuel consumption after the engine dies due to a fuel-transfer error between the main and auxiliary tanks.3:19 The engine stalled because the auxiliary tank ran dry, and the fuel return line had deposited unused fuel back into the main tank, leaving the engine starved despite the main tank containing fuel.3:25 The crew switches back to the main tank but opts to continue sailing at five knots to enjoy the quiet.3:47 They estimate a fuel burn rate of just over one gallon per hour, providing approximately 40 hours of motoring range.2:39 The crew maintains morale by setting up a portable projector screen in the cockpit for movies, using a Bluetti power station for electricity, and preparing meals with remaining fresh produce, including cabbage and avocados.6:57 As they approach the Leeward Islands, they use the Marco Polo app to communicate with family.12:26
