Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Barry Perrins, sailing solo aboard his boat White Shadow, reaches the halfway point of his circumnavigation in the South Pacific.15:21 While transiting from the Tongan Islands toward New Zealand, he crosses the longitude exactly opposite his departure point of Plymouth, United Kingdom.15:13 The passage involves varied conditions, ranging from calm, tranquil seas to periods of heavy wind that cause the boat to luff and the sails to flog.12:08 Perrins reports daily progress between 77 and 99 nautical miles while managing aging rigging and sails that have lost their shape.9:51 He experiences technical issues with his SSB radio, which prevents him from transmitting during daily check-in nets.4:03 Despite the challenges of singlehanded sailing, including limited fresh food and occasional bouts of seasickness, he reaches his milestone of sailing halfway around the world.3:32 He confirms that from this point forward, continuing his route toward home is faster than turning back.14:45
