Qué cubre este vídeo

A two-person crew transits the Champlain Canal, navigating from Troy, New York, through the first seven locks of the system.3:29 The passage requires careful attention to bridge clearances, which are marked as low as 15 feet, and fluctuating water depths that often conflict with data displayed on Navionics.25:54 The crew reports that Navionics frequently shows the vessel on land or in areas with zero depth, rendering the app unreliable for canal navigation.28:14 Throughout the transit, the sailors manage strong currents and debris, including submerged logs, while utilizing lock-side bollards to stabilize the boat during water-level changes.13:51 Communication with lock operators occurs primarily via telephone when VHF channels remain unresponsive.13:22 The crew notes that Castleton-on-Hudson offers a manual crane for unstepping masts at a rate of $55, though they opted for professional services elsewhere.1:46 After reaching Fort Edward, the crew pauses to monitor weather patterns and perform maintenance on the mast boot before continuing the journey.29:47
