Brupeg, a rebuilt former fishing trawler, spent five months at Thursday Island and Horn Island in the Torres Strait waiting out cyclone season and the wet season before heading south.▶ 1:01 The Torres Strait sits just below Papua New Guinea and is described as the windiest trade wind area in the world, with strong currents, extensive sandbars, and reefs requiring careful navigation.▶ 0:46 The crew anchored primarily off Horn Island, where a southeasterly trade wind produces flat-calm conditions, while using Thursday Island for supplies, mail runs, and parts from Mitre 10.▶ 1:09 A watermaker installation proved more complex than expected; the harbourmaster granted permission to fill water tanks from a bladder at the ferry wharf.▶ 1:24 A 15-horsepower outboard's carburetor repeatedly failed and was worked on throughout the stay.▶ 4:30 Other completed jobs included handrails, rainwater catching, and the watermaker.▶ 6:08 Periodic 30-knot squalls required moving between anchorages, and the crew used radar to monitor approaching weather.▶ 10:22 Crocodile tracks appeared on the dinghy landing beach.▶ 6:23 The crew departed south after fueling with diesel and topping water tanks, timing departure to a short weather window between sustained strong winds along the coast.▶ 16:44
