Cosa tratta questo video
A Dana 24 sailed from Dana Point, California, to Marina Corral in Ensenada, Mexico, in October 2018.Watch The crew departed at 10 p.m. and motored for much of the passage due to light winds, averaging 4.6 knots.1:04 To avoid a nighttime arrival, the crew attempted to slow the vessel by reefing the main and sailing, but they ultimately maintained a pace that necessitated a 4:20 a.m. arrival.17:12 During the transit, the crew encountered heavy kelp, which fouled the propeller eight miles from the destination, reducing engine power by approximately 50 percent.20:57 The captain opted against clearing the prop in the dark and instead nursed the engine to the marina.24:18 The passage included a 30-degree course correction to avoid a cargo ship and a nighttime sighting of dolphins.20:00 The crew relied on radar and AIS for navigation during the final approach.18:03 Entering a foreign port at night requires careful navigation and carries risks, including potential propeller fouling from kelp and difficulty identifying unlit obstructions or other vessels.
