What this video covers
The crew of the 40-ft catamaran KALLI relocates their vessel to a new mooring in Darwin, Australia, navigating a crowded anchorage with limited space. To secure the boat, Lyndon and Angela retrieve 70 metres of chain from a soft, muddy bottom before manoeuvring into a tight mooring field.3:27 They secure the vessel to the new mooring using a primary line and a secondary safety rope run through the mooring eye and back to a winch to prevent failure.21:45 Earlier, the crew attempted to visit Cahill’s Crossing in Kakadu National Park, but found the road closed due to wet season flooding.3:26 The crossing is notorious for high concentrations of saltwater crocodiles and vehicles being swept away by tidal currents.8:07 The crew emphasises that the crossing requires extreme caution and should only be attempted during the dry season.9:58
