Barry Perrins sails his boat to a remote, guano-covered island, locally known as Bird Poop Island, to anchor in a deep, cliff-lined bay.8:25 Navigating without reliable charts, he maintains a safe distance from the rocky shoreline while using a Hydrovane self-steering system to manage the vessel in light winds.1:15 The anchorage depth remains consistently around 14 meters, requiring careful monitoring of the wind direction to avoid being blown onto the cliffs if the weather shifts.9:06 During the evening, a local patrol boat approaches to check on the vessel, confirming the presence of military activity on the island.14:51 Despite concerns about the depth and potential for wind reversal, the boat remains anchored overnight while Perrins monitors his position using a GPS-based anchor alarm.16:19 The site features significant bird populations, including pelicans and frigate birds, and remnants of historical guano mining infrastructure.9:34
