Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A 1965 Alberg 30 sloop, *Triteia*, completes a 200-nautical-mile, 10-day coastal passage from Omaha Cove to the Bay of Islands, New Zealand.1:01 The solo sailor navigates through eight anchorages, including Mimifangata, while managing light winds and significant swell.1:05 During the transit, the crew catches and fillets a Kahawai fish, noting the challenge of cleaning the catch without prior experience.3:56 The vessel anchors in 12 feet of water at Mimifangata using 5:1 scope, finding the spot well-protected from the swell.6:17 The current objective involves positioning the boat north of Cape Rienga to await a favorable weather window for a 400-mile passage south toward Nelson and the Marlborough Sounds.10:56 The sailor plans to remain in Paihia to reprovision fuel, water, and food while monitoring a developing low-pressure system in the Tasman Sea.9:47 The strategy relies on waiting for a reliable three-day forecast before attempting the final northern rounding.10:37
