Qué cubre este vídeo
Winter cruising in the Pacific Northwest requires careful planning due to limited daylight, cold temperatures, and reduced endurance.2:36 Maya and Aladino, sailing north from Vancouver in winter, anchor in tight, remote locations like Smuggler's Cove, Tenedos Bay, and Prideaux Haven.6:48 Because these anchorages are empty during the off-season, the crew anchors in the center of the coves rather than using summer stern-tie configurations.6:51 They monitor depth and position using an Orca tablet, which provides critical visual data inside the cabin as tides fluctuate.10:25 The crew maintains a comfortable interior temperature of approximately 0°C (30°F) outside by running their heater continuously.8:44 After recovering from a severe stomach illness in Lund, where they observed a whale entering the harbor, they continued into Desolation Sound to hike and work on a book project.12:29 Winter cruising offers solitude and access to popular summer destinations without the typical crowds, provided the crew manages the shorter days and colder conditions.19:22
