Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Brupeg departs an anchorage on the Queensland coast at 0630, running south at 7.5–9 knots toward Lockhart River ahead of a forecast 30-knot blow.1:43 Jess's weather routing turns a predicted headwind slog into a fast, flat-water day, with an underwater reef system acting as a natural breakwater and keeping wave chop short.10:54 A narrow, twisty passage requires hand-steering off autopilot due to strong, unpredictable current eddies.2:24 At Lockhart River, Navionics, the pilot book, and the onboard chart all disagree on depths; the crew enters the Claudie River at 5 knots in fading light, reading 1.9–2.4 metres under the keel.17:52 Swell at the original anchorage forces a three-mile repositioning into the sheltered river corner.17:42 The dinghy run to the Ibis store in the small Aboriginal community of roughly 650 people requires crocodile precautions and advance contact with the store to avoid over-buying.21:16 Below decks, the watermaker fails: pre-filters clogged black within a month, sulfur-smelling and rust-stained from sulfate-reducing bacteria producing hydrogen sulfide, which reacted with iron in the stainless system.28:06 An airlock is cleared and production restored at 20 litres per hour, but the episode confirms a watermaker cannot reliably produce water from tannin- or bacteria-laden inshore water.30:32
