What this video covers
A catamaran sailing the east coast of Sardinia stops at Kaneki Oni marina to address a wind vane (windvane) failure, finding the marina fully booked at 120 euros a night and taking a mooring buoy instead.2:40 The crew removes the tender, goes ashore, and takes a taxi 15–20 minutes inland to find a repair shop or replacement part.2:46 The stop sits roughly 30 miles south of Sardinia's northern tip, with 170 miles still to run down the east coast before a planned crossing to Sicily.3:12 On the passage south, no wind forces the crew to motor on the starboard engine alone, departing at 0600 in warm, misty conditions.8:25 Lobster pots are visible along the route.9:10 The national park islands are visible from the anchorage, with mountains behind them.1:23 The crew — including two boys and a crew member named Spence — comment favorably on the scenery.3:51 When a marina is full, a mooring buoy outside it can still provide access to shore services via tender and taxi.
