Man scrubs barnacles off sailboat hull in muddy shallows
O que este vídeo aborda
Adam and Luke depart Newcastle at 1500 hours on a coastal passage north toward Nelson (25 miles) and Forster (70 miles) along the New South Wales coast, with a forecast building to 40 knots overnight.1:10 Sailing hard on the wind in 25–29 knots with a lee shore close to starboard, they reef down to a treble-reefed main and partial genoa — then the mainsail tears at the reef point.3:05 Both brothers debate turning back; the tight angle to the coast and the forecast 40-knot blow at Forster by 0800 the next morning force the decision to stop at Nelson.7:37 They anchor in 11 meters, hoping for mud, with southerlies forecast.10:38 The outboard fails again — a fuel pump fault — and a hard paddle against a 2-knot outgoing current snaps a paddle blade.12:13 Waiting out persistent northerlies for over a week, they dry out the Prout Ltd. Snowgoose 37 Elite catamaran at Taylor's Beach and scrape thousands of barnacles off the hull after antifoul fails within six months; Coppercoat comes up as the long-term fix.14:37 They explore Lemon Tree Passage by bicycle.17:46 A planned Kiwi Grip deck job stalls when rain is forecast.22:33 The episode closes with a candid editorial note: the crew is frustrated by stalled progress after a month's delay in Merimbula and a failed Tasmania window.23:00
