Acorn To Arabella · vídeo

Qué cubre este vídeo

Arabella, a wooden sailboat with a crew of three (Steve, Robin, and Peter), departs from just south of New York City and runs the Jersey Shore south to Cape May Inlet, then motors through the Cape May Canal into Delaware Bay.1:17 At the inlet, marina slips were expensive and facilities were closed, so the crew accepted a dock offer from the Bivalve Center and the schooner Mierwald at Bivalve, New Jersey.6:10 En route, Arabella grounded in the mud on a falling tide, sat with negative two feet under the keel, and floated free when the tide rose — no damage, no intervention required.8:27 At Bivalve, the crew bought 100 oysters from the packing company and explored the historic oyster-industry waterfront, including the Mierwald, a working sail-powered oyster dredge vessel still taking passengers out on Delaware Bay.10:05 Steve examines oyster dredge mechanics and the wooden construction of the Mierwald's tender, noting how large-timber wooden boats are allowed to move seasonally rather than being glued.18:12 Peter troubleshoots the AIS, which had been receiving but not transmitting; Steve shares the boat's MMSI number and a tracking app link, asking followers to respect crew privacy when Arabella is tied to private docks.25:04 Peter departs; Steve and Robin continue south as a crew of two.20:34 Flexible itinerary planning, not a fixed schedule, put Arabella at Bivalve — a stop that would have been missed otherwise.11:41
