Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Barry Perrins anchors his boat in Whangaruru, New Zealand, to escape strong winds and heavy chop while navigating the coast.0:49 The anchorage, a former whaling station, provides shelter from squalls that cause other vessels to drag anchor.7:30 While at anchor, Perrins discovers the boat's hull is heavily fouled with coral and shellfish, likely accumulated in muddy river waters.8:37 He attempts to scrape the hull manually while in the water but finds the task difficult and cold, ultimately deciding to seek a haul-out facility to address the growth and underlying bottom paint damage.8:17 During a subsequent coastal passage, he encounters sudden, intense wind gusts caused by the local topography, forcing him to hand-steer to prevent the boat from rounding up or jibing.15:37 He notes the challenges of remote cruising, including the lack of internet for work and the accumulation of waste, while managing the boat through variable wind conditions and rain squalls.11:59
