Cosa tratta questo video
A 32-nautical-mile passage from Dana Point to Avalon, Catalina Island, requires approximately eight to nine hours of travel time, typically involving significant motoring due to light morning winds. During an April 2018 transit, the crew of the keeldragger and the vessel Ohana monitored a National Weather Service small craft advisory for the region, which predicted 20-to-30-knot winds and 8-to-11-foot seas beginning at 3 p.m. The skippers opted to maintain their course, anticipating that the island’s landmass would provide a wind shadow and shelter during the afternoon arrival.5:21 Navigation included crossing the northbound coastwise shipping lanes, where AIS showed no traffic.9:31 Upon reaching Avalon Harbor, the crew checked in with the Harbor Patrol, who processed mooring assignments and payments directly on the water.16:36 The process occasionally includes a dye test of the vessel's head to ensure compliance with no-discharge regulations.17:31 Proper pre-departure checks, such as removing instrument covers, prevent confusion regarding navigation displays.1:33
