Hva denne videoen dekker
Navigating the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), the crew of a sailboat experiences a loss of propulsion and increased vibration caused by debris fouled on the propeller and rudder.5:33 Christophe dives in 5mm neoprene to clear a mass of heavy line and a V-shaped tree branch wedged against the rudder.7:41 The obstruction also caused a minor leak in the engine compartment, which the crew monitors for further water ingress.7:20 Throughout the transit, the captain relies on Navionics charts to manage shallow sections, often timing movements with high tide to navigate areas marked with depths under two meters.2:34 The crew opts for the ICW over an offshore Atlantic route to avoid 24-hour passages and rougher sea states.10:32 Additional maintenance issues include a fouled watermaker filter caused by accidental operation while the engine was running.19:24 The day concludes with a 10-hour transit and anchoring in a non-official spot near Alligator Bay, where the crew pays out 20 meters of chain in 5 meters of water.26:05
