Cosa tratta questo video

Maya and Aladino sail their Cape George Cutter 36, Magic Carpet, north through British Columbia's Inside Passage to Ocean Falls, a boat-access-only former mill town on a remote inlet.0:10 The day's sailing delivers consistent 6.5–7-knot speeds on a beam reach with flat water and no swell, wind funneling through island passages from the open Pacific.6:01 With 15 miles still to go and rain closing in, they anchor overnight in a sheltered circular bay rather than arrive in the dark.7:02 The following morning, with a low pressure system two days out, they cover the remaining 10 miles under genoa alone in downwind conditions.10:08 Ocean Falls itself — population once 4,000, now a few dozen year-round residents — was built around a pulp and paper mill that also supported a theater, swimming pool, and an Olympic swim team before the province bulldozed parts of the town after the mill closed.3:46 Today the hydroelectric dam that once powered the town runs a bitcoin mining operation; the dock has power and is well maintained; an ice cream shop, inn, post office, and weekly ferry still operate among crumbling buildings.11:04 Maya notes a personal connection to the town, to be explored in the following episode, along with a planned stop at Yukon Bay Hot Springs as the northernmost point before turning south toward the west coast of Vancouver Island.22:24
