Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The crew of a sailing vessel prepares for the 2023 cyclone season by installing a new aluminum frame for solar panels and upgrading their Starlink antenna mount.Watch They relocate the Inmarsat and GPS antennas to accommodate the Starlink dish, necessitating external cable routing protected by a sheath due to large connector sizes.0:26 Maintenance tasks include repairing a worn sprayhood at a local sailmaker, replacing a side crystal with PVC, and replacing an expired EPIRB with an identical unit. The crew also applies Star Brite teak sealer to the cockpit woodwork. To avoid the cyclone season, the vessel plans a northward passage from Fiji, targeting the Tuvalu, Kiribati, and Marshall Islands archipelagos. The route involves a 600-mile transit to Funafuti, followed by a 600-mile leg to the Gilbert Islands, and a final 300-mile stretch to the Marshall Islands. The crew intends to spend three months in the Marshall Islands, specifically visiting the Bikini Atoll, while carefully monitoring the Intertropical Convergence Zone to minimize lightning exposure.
