What this video covers
Aladino sails the Cal 24 Magic Carpet solo from Tofino to Ucluelet, British Columbia, navigating a 30-nautical-mile passage characterized by 2-to-3-meter swells, shifting sandbanks, and dense fog.▶ 9:40 He manages the vessel under a single-reefed mainsail and staysail, motor-sailing the final leg through a narrow, fog-bound harbor entrance.▶ 13:02 Upon arrival in Ucluelet, he discovers his former Cal 24 sailboat moored in the harbor.▶ 15:19 The crew subsequently addresses a failed alternator, which exhibited decreasing output and rising temperatures, by ordering a replacement and sending the original unit to Balmar for diagnostic testing.▶ 16:29 While awaiting the part, they plan a short excursion to the Broken Islands to disconnect from Starlink and computer work during a brief late-September weather window.▶ 18:31
