VIDEO and PHOTOS What a sight the Kauris IV in sailing!

We do not know what he fixed, but in no time the mainsail was lowered and Kauris IV was back in port. Shortly thereafter she sailed again, and set course for the SE. I didn’t hear any communication on the VHF, and looking on VesselFinder I didn’t see it reported on AIS….”
