Adventures of an old Seadog · vídeo

O que este vídeo aborda

Barry Perrins aboard his boat Shad meets Kirsten Neuschafer, winner of the 2022 Golden Globe Race, at the Royal Cape Yacht Club in Cape Town, South Africa — a single-handed, no-modern-equipment circumnavigation navigated by star sights.21:00 Cape Town's persistent 40-knot-plus winds pin Perrins in the marina long enough to cause seasickness at the dock.17:00 Pre-departure work includes replacing a leaking pump and its associated pipework, repairing a sun-damaged headsail with stitching and sail tape, and removing a dead-weight SSB/HF radio.11:39 A new Starlink replaces it as the offshore communications link.11:14 Perrins downloads backup charts on two tablets simultaneously — an iPad and a second tablet — covering potential emergency stops along his Atlantic route, including Barbuda.15:38 Camera gear gets an upgrade: a Canon EOS R50 replaces heavier action cams for lightweight filming, and a Boya microphone replaces a bulkier unit.14:45 A boat launch ceremony at the Royal Cape Yacht Club and a tour of the Castle of Good Hope — built by the Dutch East India Company between 1666 and 1679 — fill the weather delay.5:23 Perrins departs Cape Town for what he describes as a monumental Atlantic passage, covered in the next episode.24:33 UV exposure in southern African latitudes destroys sail cloth faster than expected, even on relatively new sails.12:50
