What this video covers

During the passage, a plastic bag wraps around the propeller, causing a noticeable vibration that disappears after the crew clears the obstruction by swimming.10:45 The engine fails to start due to a fuel issue, which the operator resolves by switching fuel tanks and manually priming the Yanmar engine using the lift pump to bleed the lines.24:50 The crew also emphasizes the importance of closing deck hatches before unfurling sails to prevent damage to the vang, noting a recent incident on a Hanse 460.15:04 Stops include the islands of Ilovik and Pirovac, where the crew docks at the town of Sepurina to secure provisions.5:08 The vessel maintains speeds of 6.5 to 7 knots under sail, with the crew utilizing the bimini and sails to create shade in high temperatures.10:10
