What this video covers
A couple living aboard their sailboat, *Hakuna*, departs a marina in South Carolina to begin a coastal passage toward Florida.1:34 During the initial transit toward Savannah, Georgia, the crew struggles with inconsistent wind, forcing them to rely on the engine for most of the journey.9:30 While anchored in an open bay near Savannah, a storm causes significant boat movement and the loss of a cockpit cushion, preventing the crew from sleeping despite using anchor alarm apps.16:22 The pair later experiences a dragging incident in shallow water, which they attribute to poor holding in mud and sand.19:06 After encountering rough seas and swells that cause seasickness, they decide to abandon offshore sailing in favor of the Intracoastal Waterway.21:54 They navigate the inland channels under sail when conditions permit, though they struggle with limited food supplies and a lack of fishing experience.23:17 The crew relies on local marina staff for maintenance tips, specifically for cleaning stainless steel, and uses the transit to refine their daily routines with their two dogs.7:07
