Steve and crew move the 38-ft wooden sailboat Arabella from Gloucester, Massachusetts, to Cape Porpoise, Maine, and then toward Portland, Maine.0:22 The transit involves significant motoring due to light winds and head-on conditions.4:09 The diesel engine and alternator system perform reliably, though the Wakespeed regulator occasionally requires a manual reset to initialize the tachometer and battery monitoring.15:06

The crew refines a mechanical system for lifting the dinghy onto the deck using a micro traction pulley, a friction hitch on the shrouds, and a trucker’s hitch to provide mechanical advantage.10:44 The anchor windlass operates on a friction-clutch mechanism that requires manual adjustment of the chain wrap and clutch band to engage or release the chain.16:53 While anchored in Cape Porpoise, the crew prepares for a short stay in Portland before securing the boat in Freeport to address a family emergency.20:25 During the final leg, they observe a NOAA vessel recovering an entangled humpback whale near Cape Elizabeth.20:47
