A sudden squall in Huahine, French Polynesia, triggers a near-collision when a neighboring sailboat drags anchor toward the crew’s vessel.4:51 During the 35-to-40-knot gusts, the crew prepares to fend off the monohull while the other boat’s occupants yell for the crew to move.5:59 The crew refuses to weigh anchor, as doing so would bring them closer to the dragging vessel and potentially entangle their chains.6:19 After the squall passes, the crew discovers the neighboring boat’s chain is fouled on coral, preventing it from holding.7:54 The crew eventually relocates to a more secure spot in the anchorage.8:42 Following the storm, the crew investigates water ingress in the engine compartment and a forward storage locker, using masking tape to trace the source of the leaks.14:19 They also perform maintenance on the steering arm connecting rod.10:15 Once the weather clears, the crew explores the island by bicycle.23:39 Identifying a fouled anchor chain through underwater inspection prevents unnecessary movement during high-wind events.
