What this video covers

The crew of the Yabá, a sailboat currently cruising the Brazilian coast, anchors at Praia da Sepultura in Bombinhas to facilitate scuba diving.7:43 After navigating into the protected bay, the crew drops 25 meters of chain near a prominent rock formation.7:29 Because heavy surf makes dinghy landings hazardous, the crew opts to swim two scuba cylinders to shore, carrying them by hand to a local dive school for refills.12:02 The crew later explores a coastal trail near the anchorage, discovering natural rock formations that resemble tombstones, which aligns with the local name for the beach—Praia da Sepultura, or "Graveyard Beach."17:14 The crew also performs hull maintenance, cleaning barnacles from a patch on the keel where the boat previously rested on a shipyard crib.22:46 Despite poor underwater visibility, the crew completes a dive, encountering spider crabs and observing local marine life, including a penguin.21:47
