Bearded sailor steers at sunset off Vieste coast
O que este vídeo aborda
An overnight passage from an unspecified departure point to Vieste, Italy covers mixed conditions: fast sections early, then a drop to 6 knots of wind with the boat making 4.5 knots under sail.▶ 2:24 Nick reports strong light-wind performance from the boat, Metal Fleece.▶ 2:37 A non-AIS fishing trawler forces a course alteration — the vessel ignored VHF calls, and Nick uses radar target tracking to establish a closest-point range of 0.46 nautical miles, confirming enough clearance to cross the trawler's stern safely, accounting for up to 200 meters of towed gear.▶ 4:15 Wind dies completely 1.5–2 hours out, and Nick motors the final stretch.▶ 5:46 Marina DVS at Vieste fails to respond on VHF, by phone, or by email; Nick drives in unassisted and is eventually directed to a berth by a helpful bystander.▶ 8:13 Draft at the entrance reads 3.1 meters.▶ 7:32 Ashore, the old fortress area and surrounding town are explored at sunset.▶ 9:40 Radar tracking of a non-AIS trawler provides a reliable method for calculating safe passing distance when a vessel is towing gear and not responding to radio.
