Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο
A 1953 classic motorboat is delivered from Plockton, in the Scottish Highlands, to Kilmelford in early March, covering the route via the Skye Bridge, the Sound of Luing, Tobermory, and the Cuan Sound.0:17 Shortly after departure the crew discovers an electrical fault: the domestic battery is wired out of the charging circuit, leaving the chartplotter and navigation lights without power despite the alternator reading 14 volts.1:54 They proceed using a fully charged iPad and handheld VHF, making an unscheduled stop at Tobermory to diagnose and fix the wiring — disconnecting the negative from the domestic battery to bring the house bank back into the charging loop.6:10 No replacement batteries are available on the island, so the fix is a temporary workaround for the remaining 35 miles.7:10 The Cuan Sound requires timing for slack water; arriving 30 minutes early, the crew encounters roughly 3 knots of contrary current.8:16 Conditions throughout are calm under a high-pressure system, with snow on the surrounding mountains as a reminder of the season.4:41 Running navigation lights without a working domestic battery makes continuing after dark unsafe.6:31
