What this video covers

Tomas and Agus, sailing the 38-ft sailboat *Bohemia*, navigate from Beaufort, North Carolina, toward New York City, encountering severe electrical storms and squalls along the Atlantic coast.1:39 During the passage, the crew manages multiple squalls by reefing sails and securing the dinghy and loose gear.8:47 They navigate through heavy rain and lightning, taking precautions by staying in the cockpit away from the mast and chainplates.18:08 The crew utilizes an ICOM M94D handheld radio with integrated AIS to monitor nearby traffic, including a collision alarm triggered by a passing catamaran.6:44 When winds die down, they motor-sail, eventually transitioning to a downwind "wing-on-wing" configuration using a whisker pole to hold the genoa.21:03 Tomas identifies a limitation of the Hydrovane windvane self-steering system in dead-downwind conditions, noting a risk of accidental gybes that requires the use of a preventer line on the boom.21:43 The transit concludes with the vessel entering the East River in New York under U.S. Coast Guard authorization.22:59
