Man starts outboard motor, water sprays on deck

Hva denne videoen dekker

A 27-ft Grinde sailboat waits out strong southerly winds and dangerous standing waves in the passage between Lombok and Sumbawa, Indonesia.0:01 Localized winds from the Lombok volcano frequently reach 35 knots, forcing the crew to anchor behind a tidal sandbar for protection.0:07 When the outboard engine fails to start, the crew cleans the spark plug, replaces the fuel, and repairs a snapped starter rope using a spare length of Dyneema.3:41 To manage the dinghy in high winds, the crew secures it alongside the hull using an extended painter tied to the bow cleat to better absorb wave shock.10:19 The crew uses a custom-rigged floating line with fishing floats to launch and retrieve kites from the boat without a swim step.9:55 Despite the protection of the sandbar at low tide, the crew decides to relocate to the mainland as the tide rises and fetch increases, threatening the boat's anchor holding.11:33
