Cosa tratta questo video

The 38-ft Warrior *Athena* anchors in the Ria de Vigo, Spain, to wait out strong southwesterly winds and rain.0:10 Because the anchorage water is too silty for the boat's Rainman watermaker, the crew motors to the mouth of the ria on an incoming tide to produce fresh water.1:39 During this stay, the crew visits the island of San Simón, which requires a permit for access and features a statue of Captain Nemo that is only fully visible at low tide.5:09 After experiencing an unexpected anchor-dragging incident in the ria, the crew departs for a 64-mile passage to Porto, Portugal, in a convoy with another vessel to mitigate risks from orca encounters and fishing nets.11:23 They arrive at a marina north of Porto, where they secure the boat with mooring compensators and fenders to manage surge at the entrance berth.15:40 The crew plans to relocate to a city-center marina once weather permits to source a dive compressor.16:10
