What this video covers
Tomás and Agustina complete a 1,800-mile Pacific crossing from the open ocean to Cairns, Australia, aboard their 3-year home, the sailboat *Bohemia*. The crew anticipates a 18- to 23-day passage, managing fuel reserves for the final 32-mile transit through the Great Barrier Reef.2:04 During the voyage, they utilize a symmetric spinnaker with a sock for light-wind performance and employ a windvane self-steering system, emphasizing the importance of balanced sail trim to minimize rudder movement.7:33 The pair navigates heavy commercial fishing traffic, reporting a near-collision with a vessel that passed within 0.4 nautical miles.5:56 Maintenance routines include cleaning the interior with vinegar and baking soda and using vacuum-seal bags to prevent mold growth on clothing.9:53 Upon arrival in Australia, the couple sells *Bohemia* to a new owner, though they eventually return to sailing on a different vessel.23:49 The passage confirms that consistent sail trim and the use of specialized light-wind gear like a spinnaker sock significantly improve speed and stability in calm conditions.
