Ce que couvre cette vidéo

The 1965 Alberg 30 sloop *Triteia* navigates the Bay of Islands, New Zealand, without an inboard engine, relying on a dinghy outboard for auxiliary power.1:18 After riding out 40-knot gusts in Russell, the crew sails four nautical miles to Motuarohia Island (also known as Roberton Island).1:23 They anchor in 20 feet of water using a five-to-one scope and a snubber.5:39 The crew explores the island’s lagoon and bird nesting sites, specifically observing oyster catchers, before planning a departure to Opua.17:53 To navigate the Veronica channel, they time their transit to coincide with the flood tide to compensate for the lack of a main engine.14:42 Despite successfully sailing off the anchor, the wind dies in the channel, forcing the crew to deploy the dinghy for propulsion.31:40 The trip concludes as Cyclone Hale brings heavy rain and 25-knot winds to the region, prompting the crew to secure the boat in Opua.33:35 Timing tidal currents is essential when navigating narrow channels with limited auxiliary power.
