O que este vídeo aborda

Steve and Annette, aboard their Vetus 46 ketch SV Cordelia, cover a week of liveaboard life in Grenada and the surrounding islands after 17 years living aboard and departing the UK in 2019.2:33 The central incident occurs on a 10-mile day sail from Carriacou to Rond Island: a bottle of engine oil breaks loose in rough seas, lands on the steering quadrant, jams it, and knocks the rudder sensor off its wooden mount — leaving the boat without steering or autopilot while rolling in Atlantic swell near Diamond Rock.6:17 Steve removes the oil to restore manual steering, then epoxies the broken wood mount and adds bracing timber as a temporary repair.8:40 The passage is otherwise uneventful, but the episode illustrates how a short coastal hop can produce a more serious incident than an ocean crossing. Ashore in Grand Mal, a flock of swallows roosts overnight on SV Cordelia, covering the decks in droppings and killing one bird in the wind generator.10:49 Annette accidentally dyes all her white laundry lime green.10:22 The couple also discuss the high cost of provisions in Grenada — 1.5-litre squash bottles at €5.50 each — and thank three new Patreon supporters.12:27 A steering failure on a 10-mile sail can be harder to manage than offshore passages where conditions are more predictable.
