Cosa tratta questo video

The crew of a Cape George Cutter 36, Magic Carpet, transits the Johnstone Strait in British Columbia, balancing the timing of tidal currents against prevailing northwest winds. To avoid fighting strong headwinds and opposing tides, the crew departs at mid-afternoon to catch a favorable ebb tide, despite forecasts of 15 to 25-knot winds.6:29 The vessel encounters 25-degree heel angles while tacking up the channel, covering approximately 15 miles of water to advance seven miles toward their destination.15:08 Before the passage, the crew identifies and repairs a loose wire causing low voltage in the start battery.7:09 Upon arrival at Port Neville, the crew notes reports on Navionics regarding local wildlife hazards, including cougars and bears near the docks.18:24 A leaking porthole above the heater is identified as a maintenance item for future repair.20:40 The crew concludes that the vessel’s performance in these conditions provided significantly more comfort than their previous boat.21:14
