Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Oliver sails Phoenix Dumar — Portuguese for "Phoenix of the Sea," named after his cat — on her maiden voyage from Shilshole to Port Townsend, a 30-nautical-mile passage through Puget Sound.0:57 Jerome Rand, who completed a solo nonstop circumnavigation in 271 days covering nearly 30,000 miles, joins as crew and will coach Oliver toward his own solo circumnavigation attempt.3:46 The passage departs at 0800 and takes roughly six and a half hours. Wind holds for about 90 minutes at 8 knots, reaching a top speed of 4.6 knots, then dies; the crew furls both jibs and motors the remainder under engine with a favorable current pushing 7 knots over ground.16:08 Floating logs in flood current demand constant watch.8:27 A jib tears at a spreader with no boots — sharp corners catch the UV cover and worsen an existing snag — but the sail only needs to last the day since the mast comes down in Port Townsend for a refit.8:14 Jerome and Oliver discuss jackline and tether systems for offshore sailing, deck visibility for search-and-rescue, and the mental demands of a solo nonstop circumnavigation.11:48 Oliver plans to base the refit in Port Townsend, noting the town sits in a rain shadow.18:26
