Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Adam and Luke sail their catamaran 276 miles north from Cooktown toward Thursday Island over 48 hours, navigating the Great Barrier Reef’s inside and outside routes.▶ 20:17 The crew maintains an average speed of 5.75 knots while managing heavy shipping traffic and squalls reaching 28 knots.▶ 20:18 During the passage, they replace a damaged spinnaker pole fitting with a soft shackle to prevent further metal fatigue and mast-loading issues.▶ 9:05 They emphasize the importance of securing spinnaker poles with a three-line system—fore, aft, and top—to eliminate side-loading and prevent breakage.▶ 12:29 After evaluating several potential stops, they bypass exposed anchorages due to unfavorable South East Trades and eventually anchor at Cape Grenville for protection.▶ 15:50 The crew notes that while the area offers scenic, flat water, the presence of crocodiles, sharks, sea snakes, and jellyfish makes swimming hazardous.▶ 20:07 They plan to rest for 24 hours before continuing their transit.▶ 19:28
