What this video covers

KALLI navigates the Horizontal Falls in Western Australia, covering the 50-nautical-mile stretch from Montgomery Reef.0:11 During the transit, the crew monitors VHF channel 69 to coordinate with other vessels and avoid collisions in the narrow, high-current channels.1:41 The boat encounters significant whirlpools and strong tidal pressure, requiring careful manoeuvring to maintain progress against the current.9:39 After clearing the passage, the crew anchors in Jugong Bay, where poor holding in muddy, shallow water causes the boat to drag 100 metres during a storm.11:08 They relocate one nautical mile to a more protected area to improve stability.13:04 The crew also explores nearby mangrove-lined waterholes during spring tides to fish for barramundi and mangrove jack, noting that the shallow depths require careful timing with the incoming tide.15:36 A drone that previously crashed into saltwater and rocks is successfully recovered and dried with fresh water, eventually returning to operation.7:27
