What this video covers

Yacht Ula completed a 36-hour passage from Tunisia to Malta, encountering 20 to 22 knots of wind and rough seas that caused seasickness.2:56 During the final approach to St George’s Bay, the vessel fouled its propeller on a fishing net, requiring assistance from a nearby boat to clear the obstruction.4:50 After arriving in Malta, the crew visited Valletta and Sliema Creek, where they noted that private moorings are available for use until owners request them back.6:49 The crew later explored Mġarr ix-Xini and anchorages around Gozo, noting that some bays offer poor protection from swell and can be noisy due to wave slap against the hull.21:54 While anchored, the crew identified a failing battery that was running warm.23:09 They replaced their existing bank with four new 140Ah AGM batteries to resolve ongoing power shortages.24:43
