Cosa tratta questo video
Sea Dream of Clyde enters Glacier Bay National Park with Kat rejoining as crew after an 8,000-mile offshore passage from Hawaii via Alaska.Watch Departing Bartlett Cove, they ride 2.5-knot flood currents through Stickleback Narrows — sails barely filling but still making 4–5 knots over ground — before navigating the shallow, poorly charted entrance to Berg Bay, where minimum depth was 27 feet on a 12–13-foot tide; the Douglas Guide cruising book provided a sketch that proved essential.1:34 They anchor at Blue Mouse Cove among humpback whales and sea otters, then sail deeper into the bay to Reed Inlet, where a katabatic wind off the ice greets them as they set anchor below the Reed Glacier.9:23 Ashore, 20-foot tidal range demands careful dinghy management: a long line run to the high-tide line and a small anchor that can be dragged back down the beach.16:06 On the Reed Glacier — now 200–300 meters back from the high-tide line compared to 13 years prior — they hike without crampons to examine moulins and sand-insulated ice cones, stopping short of crevassed terrain.16:26 Below-decks, condensation from the offshore passage saturates the hull; a clipped line holds the mattress away from the cold hull to dry it out.5:36
