Hva denne videoen dekker
The sailing vessel Escapade arrives in Cartagena, Colombia after a six-day passage from the United States — the final hours spent drifting 3 nautical miles offshore in near-zero wind after experiencing 47–50 knots earlier in the passage.▶ 0:00 With the outboard malfunctioning and fuel exhausted, the crew contacts friends Pat and Brent, who motor out with jerry cans of diesel just before a 2.5-meter-deep channel entrance.▶ 1:15 The crew notes a submerged underwater wall near the channel, reportedly built centuries ago to stop pirates and only recently identified through archaeological findings.▶ 6:02 Entering Club de Pesca marina in Cartagena, they back the boat stern-in to a tight concrete finger berth, requiring multiple attempts in crosswind.▶ 10:16 The passage itself saw wind predictions roughly half of actual conditions, with the worst weather concentrated in the middle days; the final drifting day was calm by comparison.▶ 7:46 On arrival the crew showers, connects shore power and water, and begins the marina check-in process.▶ 13:41 The shredded sail from the heavy-weather portion of the passage is visible as they dock.▶ 5:21
