Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Vlad sails the Mirage solo on a 400-nautical-mile passage from Block Island, Rhode Island, to Solomons, Maryland. The route includes stops at Atlantic Highlands and Cape May, New Jersey, before entering the Delaware Bay. During the transit, the boat maintains speeds between 5 and 10 knots, occasionally encountering 20-knot winds and adverse currents. A 35-knot squall passes while the crew is below deck, highlighting the effectiveness of the boat's cockpit enclosure in reducing noise and vibration.9:40 Navigation through the Delaware Bay relies on favorable tidal currents to maintain speed toward the Chesapeake Bay.13:27 The final leg involves motoring in light winds before arriving in Solomons in September.16:03 Lessons from the broader trip between Maryland and Nova Scotia include the benefit of sailing north to New England during the hot summer months to avoid the humidity of the Chesapeake.16:04 The crew advises bypassing Digby and Yarmouth, Canada, to avoid strong tidal currents by staying further offshore toward Halifax.17:34
