Cozzy and Mitra navigate the Australian coast between Broome and Darwin with limited fuel, forcing a conservative approach to engine use during extended periods of light wind.0:34 The crew maintains a slow pace, often averaging 2.5 knots, to conserve diesel for the transit to Dogleg Creek and beyond.10:46 They anchor in shallow, clear-water bays along the peninsula, including Coconut Wells, to wait for favorable conditions.1:14 When wind speeds remain below 3 knots, the crew prioritizes sailing over motoring, even when progress is minimal.1:18 The transit involves navigating around rocks in clear, shallow anchorages and performing routine maintenance, such as repairing a faulty navigation light.17:15 The crew utilizes a spinnaker during brief windows of 10-knot winds, though they frequently contend with opposing currents that further reduce speed.12:49 The journey emphasizes patience and fuel management in remote waters where no other vessels are present for days at a time.12:36
