Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Drake and Monique depart Gloucester, Massachusetts, for a 300-nautical-mile offshore passage to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.3:56 The crew chooses to leave despite a forecast of 20-knot northerly winds on the second day, aiming to reach port before a stronger weather system arrives later in the week.3:39 Before departure, Drake fabricates custom starboard braces to secure the 75-pound primary anchor and a secondary Fortress anchor to the bowsprit, preventing them from shifting or deploying in rough seas.7:15 The crew prepares for the voyage by stowing gear, rigging lee cloths, and establishing a safety protocol requiring harnesses and life jackets for anyone on deck during rough weather or night watches.6:29 After clearing the harbor, they raise the mainsail with one reef and engage the autopilot to maintain a course of 90 degrees.13:43 The passage begins in foggy conditions with 11 to 17 knots of wind, requiring active monitoring of the boom to prevent accidental jibes in the swell.15:24
