What this video covers
Ryan sails the 45-ft vessel Sunday from Beaufort, South Carolina, to Wilmington, North Carolina, to stage the boat for a temporary return to Canada. To avoid unpredictable storm cells and maintain a consistent speed, he performs an overnight passage, navigating shallow channels with depths as low as 0.6 meters. Upon arrival in Wilmington, he secures the boat at a protected anchorage in Carolina Beach, where friends from the vessel Salacious Star agree to monitor the boat and the crew's dog, the crew's child, during his absence. This marks the first time the couple has left their boat unattended simultaneously in four years of full-time living aboard. After returning to Wilmington from Canada, the crew adopts a rescued kitten named Tulip from the organization All 4 Cats. The kitten requires bottle-feeding every two hours, necessitating a significant shift in the crew's daily routine while they remain at anchor in Wilmington.
