Cosa tratta questo video
Navigating the Pacific Northwest requires careful planning when relying on digital charts, as the crew of a cruising sailboat experienced while transiting to Princess Louisa Inlet. During a night arrival at Green Bay, the crew relied on the *Wagoner's Guide* to avoid uncharted rocks after their Navionics app failed.1:06 To safely enter the inlet, they timed their passage through Malibu Rapids for slack tide, which occurred at 4:30 p.m. Despite the app crashing again during the transit, they successfully navigated the rapids at high tide by favoring the center of the channel.2:14 The crew also installed a remote autopilot extension, allowing for steering adjustments from anywhere in the cockpit.4:58 Upon reaching the end of the inlet, they anchored near Chatterbox Falls, a site featuring 7,000-foot granite walls and glacial waterfalls.13:13 The experience highlighted the necessity of maintaining paper charts or a dedicated chart plotter as a backup to mobile navigation software.
