What this video covers

Erica and Warren arrive at Port Denarau, Fiji's largest marina, aboard their Fountaine Pajot catamaran after roughly a month in the remote Yasawa Islands, fueling up for the first time in nine months.▶ 0:32 Their headline figure: 14,500 nautical miles sailed across the Pacific since 2022 on just $2,604 in fuel, achieved by prioritizing sail over motor and being strategic about when they run the engines.▶ 8:20 The Fountaine Pajot carries a 150-gallon fuel tank; after nine months they were still at 65% capacity, with a motoring range of 600–800 nautical miles at 5 knots.▶ 6:10 Warren describes installing a secondary fuel gauge at the helm so tank level can be monitored without a crew member posted below at the nav station.▶ 6:56 Port Denarau gets a practical rundown: 200-plus berths, on-site yacht chandlery, fuel dock, laundry, clean shower facilities, grocery store, and restaurants all within walking distance, making it the main cruiser resupply hub in Fiji.▶ 18:38 The crew also repairs fishing rod guides and addresses a check valve as part of a pre-departure maintenance push before heading to more distant, isolated islands where no outside help is available.▶ 20:36
