O que este vídeo aborda

Yacht Zen Again sails 57 miles from François, Newfoundland to Saint-Pierre on a south-southwesterly close reach that tightens to close-hauled approaching the islands, with fog rolling in at the entrance before the wind drops inside the well-protected harbour.1:09 Saint-Pierre et Miquelon is a French territory whose economy shifted from cod fishing and Prohibition-era alcohol smuggling to tourism.1:24 Nicki and Mike spend several days exploring Saint-Pierre, noting brightly coloured fishing shacks and red capstans used to haul dory boats ashore.3:24 A ten-minute ferry ride reaches Île de Miquelon (referred to in the video as Ile de Moran), a 19th-century settlement of Breton and Norman cod fishermen now operating as an open-air museum with restored buildings.1:54 The local French TV news station interviews Nicki and Mike, drawn by the novelty of two Australian sailors in port.4:12 The passage itself is short but conditions — close-hauled, wet, and bouncy with fog at the entrance — require careful weather-window timing from southern Newfoundland.0:29
