What this video covers

A 41.7-mile passage from Coro Island to Taveuni Island in Fiji requires careful navigation due to extensive, poorly charted reefs.3:21 The crew maintains a daylight-only schedule to identify hazards, sailing in 10-to-25-knot southeasterly trade winds.3:44 Upon arrival, the crew encounters persistent rain and local reports of high precipitation on that side of the island.18:34 Facing a forecast of 30-to-40-knot southeasterly gales, the crew decides to relocate to Savu Savu for better protection.19:51 They secure the dinghy on deck to prevent it from blowing away during the storm and deploy 30 meters of chain in 20 meters of water, relying on their anchor to hold through the high-pressure system.22:16 The crew remains in Savu Savu for several days to wait out the weather before planning further travel toward Suva.23:13
