Hva denne videoen dekker

Steve and Robin relocate their wooden boat, *Arabella*, from a temporary slip in New Bedford to a permanent winter berth in Harwich, Massachusetts.Watch Before the transit, Steve repairs a persistent deck leak above his bunk caused by structural movement between the deck beams and centerline blocking.0:52 He pulls the separated timbers together with C-clamps and bar clamps, then reseals the seams with heated pitch, noting that traditional pitch allows for better adhesion to wood than modern synthetic compounds.5:13 To prepare for an approaching storm, the crew removes solar panels, paddleboards, and the tender to reduce windage.7:23 After confirming the leak repair holds during heavy rain, the crew sails from Sandwich through the Cape Cod Canal and into Buzzards Bay.8:39 They anchor for the night near Woods Hole, navigating turbulent water conditions locally known as "the Kraken," before completing the final leg to Harwich.16:40 The new dock provides easier access for day sailing to Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket compared to their previous location.10:23
