O que este vídeo aborda

The crew of Millennial Falcon attempts an overnight passage from Salinas, Puerto Rico, to Vieques, but engine overheating forces an emergency stop at a backup anchorage.1:51 After troubleshooting, the crew identifies low oil levels and a sluggish thermostat as the likely causes of the temperature spikes.3:14 They replace the thermostat and top up the oil before completing the 28-mile transit to Esperanza Bay.6:17 Upon arrival, the boat experiences uncomfortable rolling due to a swell hitting at 90 degrees to the wind.10:48 To mitigate this, the crew employs a chain-harness technique, running a snubber line from mid-chain to a stern winch to pull the bow into the swell.14:38 The crew later explores Mosquito Bay for bioluminescence and hunts for lionfish and lobster along the south coast of Vieques.15:20 They rely on Navionics for navigation and struggle with limited data for video uploads.12:23 The engine remains a source of anxiety, requiring frequent monitoring during short coastal hops.17:37
