O que este vídeo aborda
Triteia, a 4.29-foot draft sailboat, transits the Wide Bay Bar at Fraser Island, Queensland, during calm, windless conditions.16:39 To ensure safe passage through the shifting sands, the crew contacts the Tin Can Bay Coast Guard via telephone to receive updated coordinates and virtual navigation aid locations.12:23 They plot these waypoints into Navionics and time the crossing for two hours after low tide to benefit from a rising flood current.15:47 During the transit, the vessel encounters the "Mad Mile," a section characterized by erratic currents and shoaling that causes the boat to pitch despite the lack of wind or significant ocean swell.18:30 After clearing the bar, the crew navigates by GPS and visual cardinal marks to reach a protected anchorage behind Fraser Island.22:47 The crew confirms that while the bar is manageable in settled weather with proper timing, the shifting nature of the shoals requires up-to-date local intelligence and careful adherence to current survey data.14:54
