Cosa tratta questo video
Jonathan and Whitney sail their boat, Julia, south along the Australian east coast from Brisbane to Broughton Island.9:43 After navigating the shallow sandbars of Moreton Bay, they haul out at Pelican Slipways in Redland Bay to address rust streaks on hull fasteners.2:07 They treat the affected areas by digging out failing bungs, applying phosphoric acid to neutralize rust, coating the spots with zinc galvanizing compound, and sealing them with epoxy putty.4:05 The pair then continues south through protected inland channels, timing bar crossings at Yamba and Iluka to avoid dangerous interactions between outflowing currents and ocean swells.7:35 They stop at Coffs Harbor, protected by Muttonbird Island, before reaching Broughton Island for Christmas.18:15 Throughout the passage, they monitor weather windows for coastal hops, noting that the water temperature drops significantly as they approach the confluence of tropical and Southern Ocean currents.26:36 Regular maintenance of hull fasteners and careful timing of river bar crossings are essential for navigating this coastal route.
