Cosa tratta questo video
Steve and Robin are preparing the wooden boat *Arabella* for its first international passage from Provincetown, Massachusetts, to Nova Scotia, Canada, with plans to continue to Newfoundland.▶ 13:19 To prepare for winter, they are gathering extra dock lines, fenders, and a diesel can to support a planned winter stay on the southwest coast of Newfoundland near Gros Morne National Park.▶ 12:08 The crew intends to use the boat as a base for ice climbing and backcountry skiing, preferring the cold, dry climate of Newfoundland over the damp winters of Cape Cod.▶ 14:58 Technical preparations include installing a new Code Zero sail for light-wind performance, setting up a halyard for international signal flags, and securing the 65-pound anchor with a Dyneema safety line and fire-hose chafe protection to prevent accidental deployment.▶ 17:27 They are currently seeking advice on safe, shore-power-equipped docks near Neddy's Harbor, Bonne Bay, or Cold Brook for the upcoming winter season.▶ 15:57
