Cosa tratta questo video
Barry Perrins performs several maintenance tasks and navigation adjustments on his boat before anchoring in a shallow river in New Zealand. He removes teak slats from the cockpit seating to eliminate dirt traps and exposed screw heads, then cleans the remaining mastic.1:13 To improve mainsail deployment, he applies a Teflon-based lubricant to a biodegradable paper strip and hauls it up the mast to coat the sail track.2:10 He also modifies a DJI drone controller mount to create a secure, accessible holder for his navigation tablet, allowing him to move it between the bridge deck and the cockpit.3:18 While anchoring at Limestone Island, he miscalculates the depth and tide, resulting in the boat bouncing on the riverbed in approximately one meter of water during a low tide.8:48 He waits for the tide to turn and the boat to swing before confirming the vessel is safe.13:40 The following morning, he prepares an inflatable canoe for exploration, emphasizing safety by wearing a life jacket and carrying a VHF radio.17:33
