Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A Norfolk-to-Bermuda-and-back passage run by the Maryland School of Sailing covers roughly six to seven days each way, with two captains — Frank Mummert and David Gifford — leading four students aboard.10:22 Outbound, a low-pressure system near Cape Hatteras forced a one-day delay; the crew used the time for sextant and navigation training.1:14 After crossing the Gulf Stream, a storm system ran with the boat for about 12 hours, requiring one hour hove-to with a reefed main and headsails down.1:33 Wind died 1.5 days out of Bermuda, forcing motor-sailing; arriving after customs closed, the crew held five miles off, motoring back each time wave action pushed them away, and entered at 0900 Wednesday.2:42 The return leg in 10–15 knots from the south-southwest was fast until a storm cell clocked the wind 90 degrees twice, requiring two tacks, then died for two hours before filling back in.3:53 Navigation training used sextant sun shots morning and afternoon, plotted against a DR line kept on NOAA plotting sheets 925/926.28:13 Watch protocol required harness and tether in the cockpit at all times, not just at night.44:05 Battery voltage was monitored continuously, with a standing order to run the engine one hour whenever voltage dropped to 12.2 V. Crew carried both a PLB and an AIS MOB device.31:50 A rudder-post leak increased in heavy weather and was tracked through the bilge log.49:21 Seasickness remedies discussed include transdermal scopolamine, Dramamine, ginger, and a prescription antiemetic available in Bermuda. The crew also carries a sea anchor as the next escalation above heaving to.50:24
