HOW TO DO IT on a Trawler.... EP. 35
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator documents a period of intense weather while cruising through the Bahamas on a Nordhavn trawler. After arriving in Georgetown at Stocking Island, the crew encounters a prolonged wind event lasting approximately ten days with consistent speeds between 28 and 35 knots. During this time, the crew remains hunkered down to weather the storm, utilizing the time to perform various boat maintenance tasks, such as cleaning woodwork and securing chafe guards, and conducting extensive route planning. The creator demonstrates how to use digital charts to calculate fuel consumption and plan future passages to locations like Long Island and the Exumas. The video also features a hiking excursion on an art trail and provides a detailed technical explanation of the crew's anchoring procedure. This method involves setting an anchor circle boundary using electronics and testing the anchor's hold by gradually increasing engine RPMs in reverse. The crew concludes the segment by departing Georgetown to continue their exploration of the islands.
