Hva denne videoen dekker

Balachandra, a cruising sailboat, completed a four-and-a-half-day passage from St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands, to Grenada during COVID-19 travel restrictions.3:39 Shortly after departure, the crew snagged a reef marker buoy on the vessel's wing keel, requiring an underwater dive to clear the line from the propeller.4:23 During the transit, high winds and heavy seas necessitated nightly reefing of the mainsail.6:34 On the fourth day, a three-to-four-foot section of stitching on the mainsail failed; the crew dropped the sail and motor-sailed using only the jib to maintain a course against a two-to-three-knot current pushing toward the Venezuelan coast.9:27 Upon arrival in Grenada, the crew checked in via VHF radio and entered a designated quarantine anchorage for a mandatory two-week period.11:34 The passage required constant close-hauled sailing into trade winds and significant easting to reach the destination.11:13
