What this video covers

Tomás and Agustina complete a 500-mile maiden voyage aboard their new 46-foot Beneteau, *Bohemia*, sailing from Pensacola, Florida, to Dry Tortugas.3:28 The crew undertakes the passage during the Caribbean hurricane season, navigating through intermittent rain and squalls while monitoring the vessel for leaks and mechanical performance.1:13 They maintain a motor-sailing pace of 7 to 8 knots, relying on the engine due to variable winds.5:57 The transit serves as a shakedown for the boat, which they purchased without a prior haul-out, though they confirm the hull remains in good condition.8:28 Upon arrival at Fort Jefferson in Dry Tortugas, they navigate a tight anchorage before selecting a more spacious spot in 9 meters of water.21:47 The trip marks their return to sailing after a six-month hiatus.20:25 The passage demonstrates that a thorough shakedown cruise is essential for identifying a new vessel's systems and potential maintenance needs before extended travel.
