O que este vídeo aborda
Jeanne Socrates departs Hobart aboard her solo vessel, staging at Research Bay in the D'Anticasto Channel before rounding the southern coast of Tasmania to reach Port Davey.Watch The route passes South East Cape, Whale Head, South Cape, De Witt Island, Matsuka Island, and the South West Cape in overcast, misty conditions with a 2-metre southwest swell.2:24 Wind is light — 6–7 knots for much of the passage — requiring motoring until a brief downwind stretch near the South West Cape, where boat speed reaches 7–8 knots surfing in 25–27 knots of wind.12:07 Approaching Port Davey, she navigates past the Sugarloaf, the East Pyramids, Hilliard Head, Forbes Point, and Swainson's Island, noting that a large section of the chart is marked unsurveyed and avoiding it entirely.13:55 She anchors at Kings Point in Bathurst Harbour ahead of a forecast blow that delivers a 40-knot gust on arrival.19:58 Most of Bathurst Harbour is too shallow to explore under sail; she plans to take the dinghy up the Melaleuca Inlet.21:03 Wildlife along the route includes albatrosses, dolphins, gannets, petrels, and little penguins near the pyramids.10:16
