Acorn To Arabella · vidéo

Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The 38-ft sailboat Arabella navigates the southern coast of Newfoundland, transitioning from the village of Francois to Hare Bay to establish a base camp for rock climbing.9:05 Due to extreme water depths exceeding 160 feet and steep, rocky shorelines, traditional anchoring is impractical.10:48 To prevent the vessel from swinging and dragging in swirling winds and tidal currents, the crew implements a stern-tie system using a salvaged yellow line secured to shore-side trees.16:17 A secondary grapnel anchor and a series of surface floats keep the mooring line submerged and clear of the propeller, allowing the crew to depart for provisions while maintaining a secure, fixed position.18:14 The setup also serves to distance the boat from shore-based black fly swarms.18:26 The crew transports over 100 pounds of climbing gear, including bolts and drill bits, to the site of an unexplored cliff known as the Nuttock.14:19
