What this video covers
The crew of the Lagoon 450 catamaran Parlay Revival completes a 2,855-nautical-mile Pacific crossing from Mexico to the Marquesas Islands.0:09 While anchored in a bay at Ua Pou, the crew deploys a stern anchor to maintain orientation against wind shifts and prevent swinging into neighboring vessels in a crowded anchorage.10:22 The technique involves running a line from the stern to the beach to keep the boat’s bow pointed into the wind, which prevents the vessel from rolling beam-on to the swell.11:22 During departure, a miscommunication leads to the loss of a spare halyard and snap shackle, which the crew recovers from the seabed.12:39 The crew later visits Nuku Hiva to pick up new passengers and reunite with the crew of SV Delos. The voyage continues with plans for a 450-mile race to the Tuamotu Islands.
