Qué cubre este vídeo
Luke and Adam aboard their Rival 34, Atlas, depart Marsden Cove marina on December 7th to begin a circumnavigation of New Zealand, making their first coastal passage 40 miles south to Kawau Island in the Hauraki Gulf.2:44 The passage runs in 15–25 knot southwest winds, with conditions building to 24 knots as they cross an exposed bay; the final three miles into the anchorage put wind and a foul tide on the nose, forcing them to motor.3:21 They anchor in Schoolhouse Bay in mud-then-sand bottom, laying 40 metres of chain.13:24 Before departure, a newly installed Starlink unit fails because the ethernet cable between the router and dish is broken; a replacement cable is on order.1:41 On Kawau Island — population 90, area 8.3 square miles, with no through roads — they explore Schoolhouse Bay, visit the historic Mansion House (former home of Sir George Grey, entry $10), encounter peacocks in the gardens, and spot what they believe is a kiwi on a trail.20:56 Engine temperature is monitored against two reference points marked on the engine block.12:21 A broken Starlink cable can ground an otherwise functional installation indefinitely while awaiting a replacement part.
