What this video covers

Doodles, a cruising sailboat, transited 90 miles from Atlantic City to Brooklyn, New York, over a 13-hour passage.1:28 The crew motor-sailed against light headwinds for the first half of the trip before the wind shifted, allowing for genoa use until late afternoon.2:13 Upon arrival at the Brooklyn Bridge Marina after dark, the crew docked without assistance from marina staff, using a spring line to maneuver the boat against a current pushing them off the dock.5:22 The marina offers proximity to Manhattan but experiences significant wake from passing ferries, causing the vessel to roll at the slip.8:47 The crew utilized an industrial-grade span set to rig an aerial Lyra hoop from the boat’s boom, allowing for an acrobatic performance against the backdrop of the Statue of Liberty.9:18 Maintenance plans include replacing fuel lines and tightening fittings to eliminate air gaps in the fuel system.0:46
