Cosa tratta questo video
Matthias and Luisa, sailing a Saddler 34 named Wanderling, encounter significant underwater obstructions while anchoring near Liberty Island in New York City.2:49 The crew snags an abandoned, corroded cable with their primary anchor, requiring them to use a trip line and the windlass to clear the obstruction.3:18 They report that the area surrounding the Statue of Liberty contains numerous submerged cables, which also caused them to lose a dinghy anchor the previous day.4:18 After clearing the cable, the crew motors 20 miles through the East River and Hell Gate, timing their transit to coincide with low water to utilize favorable tidal currents.2:07 They navigate heavy commercial traffic and high-speed vessel wakes before anchoring in a quieter spot near the eastern end of the Bronx.7:55 They note that local chart depth data in this secondary anchorage is inaccurate.7:59 The crew subsequently commutes by public transit to visit Central Park and Times Square, ultimately deciding to remain in the New York City area for the remainder of the summer.8:46
