O que este vídeo aborda
Hurricanes Aaron and Fernand pinned Erin and Marie on the south coast of Brittany for 10 days, forcing repeated cancellations of their planned southward passage.0:11 The boat and dock bounced at independent frequencies through successive storm nights at what the video identifies as Caen-Carnal.0:09 When gaps appeared between systems, they explored walled towns, a five-point citadel fortification at Lorient, and the adjacent town of Port Louis.1:28 A September 5 window finally allowed a short coastal move to Lorient, then onward in 20-knot headwinds, close-hauled and triple-reefed, making slow progress.3:42 En route, true wind data failed — the instrument system could not calculate true versus apparent wind because the paddle wheel was fouled and the GPS boat-speed input was not functioning.7:40 The diagnosis came at the Cannes Yacht Show, where they left the boat at Pornichet and rented a car for the two-day event.10:48 At the show they toured a Hans 59, a Moody 48 DS, the world premiere of the Swan 51, a Contest, a Pegasus, and HH Catamarans boats, comparing layouts and features against their own criteria.15:16 The paddle-wheel fix: pull it, clean it, reinstall it, and dry the resulting interior water intrusion.13:03 By mid-September they were still working south around the Bay of Biscay, stopping at Île-du-Yeu, with more weather systems slowing progress.21:57
