Ce que couvre cette vidéo

A Cape George Cutter 36, Magic Carpet, navigates a series of tidal rapids in the Discovery Islands, British Columbia, while traveling north.0:29 To maintain progress, the crew times their passage through Hole in the Wall, Yucalta Rapids, Gillard Passage, and Dent Rapids to coincide with an ebb tide, which provides a consistent following current.11:45 By departing Octopus Islands before slack water, the crew utilizes a two-knot push to transit the narrow channels, maintaining control despite swirling water and the vessel's deep-keel displacement.11:44 The crew relies on local knowledge and the guidebook *Best Anchorages of the Inside Passage* to manage the transit.10:51 During the voyage, the crew observes the decline of historical cruising infrastructure, noting that Shoal Bay’s pub is closed and the Cordero Lodge has fallen into ruin, as documented by user comments on Navionics.20:38 The passage concludes with a stop at a functioning marina in Blind Bay.23:54 Timing multiple tidal passes on a single ebb tide allows a full-keel sailboat to safely navigate narrow channels with a following current.
