Qué cubre este vídeo
Winter sailing on the west coast of Canada requires managing damp, cold conditions and limited daylight by moving in short, deliberate jumps.0:20 To conserve power for Starlink and laptop use during low-solar winter months, the crew uses a Bluetooth keyboard paired with a phone to reduce energy consumption and minimize distractions.5:21 Rainwater collection serves as a primary water source; the crew uses the boat's dodger and bimini to funnel runoff into containers, then transfers the water to tanks using a jiggling-action siphon pump.7:34 Chlorine tablets and inline filtration ensure water quality.10:59 When the dinghy is stored upright in calm water, the crew leaves the drain plug in to collect rainwater, though they invert the dinghy in rough conditions.7:23 The final passage into the Fraser River toward Steveston in mid-January involves navigating against river currents while managing wind chill temperatures near 2 degrees Celsius.17:00
