Single-handed sailor Barry Perrins navigates the east coast of Australia, managing light-wind sailing, coastal navigation, and anchoring in changing weather. During a week-long calm, he stops at Double Bay to film a music video for his single, "Halfway."4:59 When the wind returns, he sails around headlands and islands, experimenting with rigging an asymmetrical spinnaker to improve upwind performance.3:45 He encounters shallow water and rocky hazards while navigating toward an anchorage, where he later experiences a dragging incident during a night of foul weather.17:11 To secure the boat, he deploys additional chain and installs a secondary snubber to protect the windlass from high loads.17:22 He also recounts a near-miss where he accidentally left the anchor trailing in the water while underway.13:10 The passage concludes with coastal sailing alongside other vessels, requiring close-quarters maneuvering near rugged headlands.15:31
