What this video covers
A pocket catamaran named Squib, crewed by Sabina and Peter, departs Baja, Hungary, and covers 100 kilometers down the Danube to anchor on the Serbian side opposite the Croatian town of Aljmas.0:14 The day's central task is clearing out of the EU at Mohacs, Hungary — a half-hour process — then entering Serbia at a privatized customs dock where berthing costs 10 euros and using the agency's document-copying service costs another 10.10:49 Peter cannot find his inland waterways license; he plans to contact Via Donau for a duplicate rather than return home.13:19 Serbian border police conduct only a passport check and wave the boat on because a freighter needs the berth.15:52 The crew notes that sandbank groundings have already happened three times in five days on the Danube, with Peter twice entering the water to push off.17:15 The boat's insulation refit is proving its worth in cool spring temperatures.7:32 At anchor in one meter of water, a post-dinner engine check reveals water entering the motor — a suspected failed water pump.25:37
