What this video covers
The crew of Jibsea, a full-time cruising sailboat, hosts a guest for a week of Mediterranean sailing near the north coast of Majorca. The itinerary includes snorkeling, coastal exploration, and navigating rolly anchorages in search of protection from shifting weather systems. While anchored in a popular bay near Porto Vels, the crew uses an Insta360 X3 camera with an invisible dive case to capture underwater footage.3:33 During their stay, they locate and retrieve 150 feet of 10mm anchor chain lost by another vessel in 40 feet of water, using a snap shackle and manual hauling to bring the gear to the surface before transferring it to the owners.11:04 The crew also explores the Cova de la Mare de Deu, an ancient sandstone quarry cave historically used as a Phoenician burial site and a source of stone for the Palma Cathedral.18:29 The week concludes with routine boat maintenance, specifically clearing a calcium-clogged marine toilet discharge hose.20:13
