Ce que couvre cette vidéo

After an outboard motor failure in Pender Harbor, British Columbia, the crew of a sailboat attempts a 26-mile passage across the Malaspina Strait to Nanaimo without an inboard engine.3:38 The crew clears a cooling system clog in the outboard to maneuver off the dock but faces 30-knot winds and steep, opposing waves in the strait.2:35 Lacking an inboard, the pair sails through the heavy conditions, eventually adding a second reef to the mainsail to balance the boat.12:23 As the wind dies near the Five Finger Islands, the boat drifts toward rocks, forcing the crew to call for a commercial tow to reach their slip.17:49 The decision to depart was influenced by the onset of COVID-19 restrictions and a desire to reach a familiar boatyard for repairs.18:53 The crew concludes that while sailing through the strait built confidence, they should have relied on multiple weather forecasts and avoided towing the dinghy in heavy seas.21:17
