What this video covers
A dawn departure from Cala Coticcio kicks off a coastal sail along Sardinia aboard Josephine.0:24 The anchorage at Cala Coticcio was overcrowded, so the crew diverted to Cala Brigantino, where they found the anchorage empty on arrival — though a group of roughly 20 Brazilian tourists soon arrived by motorboat.0:59 The passage then continues to Isola di Caprera, where an old Valtour or Mediterraneo resort village is visible from the water.1:59 The sailing itself is close-hauled, beating to windward with the boat heeled hard over; a brief lapse in concentration at the helm sends the boat off course, requiring a quick correction.3:11 The tender is deployed with a crew member named Josephine aboard, providing an exterior view of the heeled sailboat under sail.4:06 The footage captures the scenic Sardinian coastline at sunrise and the practical reality of finding anchorage space in a busy cruising area during peak season.
