What this video covers
A Swan 47 S&S navigates a coastal passage along Nova Scotia, transiting from Sambro to Tanners Pass. The crew threads a shallow, rock-strewn exit through Tanners Pass, where the bottom is visible from the deck and depth monitoring is continuous — one crew member watches the sounder while another steers.5:03 The remark "going to crash the boat on camera" signals how tight the passage is.4:43 The video is brief, but the route forms part three of a circumnavigation of Nova Scotia, placing this segment within a longer coastal cruise of the province. Conditions at Tanners Pass require careful attention to water depth and visual bottom-reading, with the crew relying on real-time depth checks rather than autopilot or relaxed helming.4:47 The passage underscores that Tanners Pass demands active depth monitoring and a slow, deliberate approach in a keelboat of this draft.
