UNSAFE PASSAGE

Adventures with an Old Seadog: Conquering Unsafe Passage

After leaving behind the beautiful beaches of Anthony Island, the old seadog, ever on the quest for new adventures, sets his sights on Ear Beach – the party city of Australia’s many islands. He knows from experience that navigating these waters is fraught with danger and challenges. This part of his journey will test his resolve like never before as he confronts unsafe passage. With a crew member by his side and only his trusty boat to guide him, this sailor faces treacherous waters in search of the perfect anchorage. The Confrontation with Unsafe Passage As the old seadog approaches what charts call ‘Unsafe Passage’, he remains undeterred. He’s done his homework, and the local knowledge gleaned from a seasoned friend gives him confidence that this daring move could be worth it. Despite cautionary tales in old books warning against it, modern navigation tools such as turn channel markers give him hope for safe passage. The narrow path between two towering mounds of land – part of the unsafe passage – is perilous even on a clear day, but he decides to chance it. Aware that this decision may mean getting caught on sandbars or worse, the seadog prepares his boat meticulously. Confronting Nature’s Fury It’s not long into the journey that he encounters an approaching weather front, whipping up large swells and gusts of wind. His small yacht is tossed about, reminding him why this stretch of water earns its name. Yet, every time a break in the storm allows, he inches his boat closer to the heart of it – toward the fabled party city. There are times when even the bravest seamen may falter under such conditions but the old sea dog does not give up. He knows that giving in to fear would mean defeat before the adventure has truly begun. Instead, he leans into the wind and rain, guiding his boat through with steady hands. The Outcome Against all odds, our intrepid sailor successfully navigates the treacherous waters of Unsafe Passage and reaches Ear Beach in one piece. He describes the scene: a picturesque bay lined with palms, sun-worshippers on golden shores – paradise as he envisioned it. At last, there’s time to catch his breath and reflect upon his journey. While the perilous crossing was far from easy, each challenge faced only served to strengthen the resolve of this old seadog. In conquering Unsafe Passage, he proved once more that even in the face of danger, adventure can be found where one least expects it – on a lonely sea under an indifferent sky. Don’t miss next time as we dive deeper into his encounters and learn about life aboard his boat during those tranquil nights.

Thanks so much for your support,

Safe sailing.


Boat:
White Shadow is a Van De Stadt ‘Seal’ 36 (11 metres). She is hand made in steel, 2004, with a round bilge (hull) and a modified coach roof. This makes her a ‘one off’ and in my opinion the most beautiful Van De Stadt 36 ever built.

The camera gear:
Main camera is a Panasonic Hc- V700 with a Rode External mic with a sponge and dead kitten attached.
Action, underwater scenes and small blogging is done with two Osmo action cams. Some boat shots are done with a Dji gimbal camera.

Editing:
Final cut pro on a Macbook. Most of the material for each video is filmed over a period of several weeks or so and the editing of each episode is normally done over a day. This process can take longer if original music is used or permissions are needed for copyrighted materials etc. Much time is spent sorting out technical problems. In this case I normally get the help of a younger person who understands computerie stuff!
There are also times when filming, editing and uploading is not possible due to being at sea or in locations with no internet access.

Content:
I have found that filming and releasing material over a period of time is better than doing ‘vlog’ style videos and trying to make episodes out of whats happened in a week, regardless if it’s good content or not. By filming over a period of time I can be more selective in what goes into each video. My aim is to avoid ‘bland and mundane’ and have at least one or two exciting and interesting events in every video. Every video has to be entertaining.

Comments and being at sea:
I love reading your comments. Most weeks Im able to read everyone. I cant reply to everybody but I do read and enjoy them. Keep them coming! There are times that It might seem I'm not on the internet for certain periods, this is normally when Im at sea on passage. While Im out on the Ocean I have completely no communications with the outside World.
