O que este vídeo aborda
Califa sails from St. George, Grenada, to Cariacou — a roughly five-hour passage — motoring and sailing hard on the wind in 20–22 knots of apparent wind with gusts to 28 knots and a strong southerly Guiana Current running between the islands.11:04 Adriano plans the route deliberately: hugging Grenada's coast to stay out of the worst current, ducking behind Ronde Island for shelter, then punching through the channel past Diamond Island where the current briefly overpowers the boat's motoring speed at 2,800 rpm.9:01 Denise, previously prone to seasickness, cooks chicken in the oven during the crossing without medication.14:46 The crew eats lunch underway in the lee of Ronde Island rather than anchoring, then pushes through the Diamond Island channel in steep, breaking seas before bearing away to Cariacou.16:27 Along the route Adriano notes an underwater volcano between Ronde Island and the Sisters that released gases in 2024.17:08 The passage is also Alexandre's birthday, with solar-charged Christmas lights installed aboard as a celebration.12:35 The next day the crew joins a day trip to the southern islands of Cariacou, where hurricane damage has left boats stranded and vegetation stripped.27:47
