O que este vídeo aborda

A 25-nautical-mile passage from La Graciosa to Arecife, Lanzarote, requires careful timing to navigate shallow, questionable depths at high tide.▶ 2:14 Forecasts of 3.7-meter waves and mid-20-knot winds force a departure from La Graciosa to seek shelter on the eastern coast of Lanzarote.▶ 1:31 Naveli user comments provide guidance for entering the Arecife anchorage, which appears restricted on standard charts.▶ 2:24 The crew reefs the sails to manage gusts reaching the upper 20s, maintaining a speed of 7 knots on a downwind course.▶ 7:20 Upon arrival, the crew avoids a shallow, off-limits area and anchors in the outer bay near the breakwater.▶ 8:39 Subsequent sailing from Arecife to Isla de Lobos involves a wing-on-wing configuration using a pole to stabilize the genoa in 15-to-18-knot winds.▶ 10:00 While Isla de Lobos offers a calm, flat anchorage, local regulations prohibit dogs and drone flights within the natural park.▶ 13:02 The crew notes that finding suitable, non-rolly anchorages in the Canary Islands remains challenging, often necessitating reliance on marinas.▶ 13:40
