Adventures of an old Seadog · vídeo

O que este vídeo aborda

Barry Perrins sails along the Queensland coast of Australia, passing a coastline he notes looks unchanged since Captain James Cook navigated the same waters in 1770.4:04 The approach to Cooktown is extremely shallow, forcing him to anchor directly off the town front — the only viable spot he could find.7:08 Ashore, he explores Cooktown's frontier-character streets, which hold cannons gifted by Queen Victoria in the early 1800s, monuments to early explorers, and a prominent memorial to Cook himself.7:18 He visits the exact beach where Cook careened the Endeavour 250 years ago after striking Endeavour Reef a few miles offshore — the near-disaster that brought Cook to this sheltered spot.8:17 A museum on site charges $25 entry, which Perrins declines.8:55 He eats at a fish-and-chip shop that permits BYO alcohol, then resupplies.8:02 A jibe-prevention technique is briefly mentioned at the outset, with the boom controlled to prevent an accidental gybe in the conditions running down the coast.3:45 The video breaks off before departure from Cooktown.18:49
