Qué cubre este vídeo
A converted fishing trawler, Brupeg, transits south through the far north of Queensland, navigating the Great Barrier Reef from Lockhart River Bay to Morris Island and then to Flinders Island's Stokes Bay, covering roughly seven to eight hours of running each day at six to seven and a half knots.0:08
The passage threads through reef-strewn waters, skirting shipping channels including Lance Passage, with shallow sand cays and submerged reefs requiring constant chart attention via OpenCPN.0:08 Autopilot tuning gets detailed treatment: the crew explains how to adjust rudder feedback and the width of the correction "V" for different sea states, and shows the difference between sped-up footage (where zigzagging looks alarming) and real-time cruising.2:33 Jess's seasickness and a health condition that worsens in negative-G motion dictate who drives in lumpy conditions.6:11 A Tohatsu throttle shaft spinning loose on a Yamaha Mariner outboard and a dinghy winch replacement are both deferred to Cairns.1:35 At Flinders Island, tidal eddies around a sand spit made anchor-setting unpredictable, with current running opposite directions within meters of each other.29:10 Wildlife highlights include a dugong sighting off the starboard quarter and a crocodile spotted the following morning.29:31 The crew also plans to retrieve a ghost-net FAD from a reef on the run south to Cairns.24:28
