Qué cubre este vídeo

Two weeks in Te Ohe Bay, Nuka Hiva, Marquesas stretched longer than planned after Connor injured his back packing the Code 55 sail bag, forcing the crew of Big Lost to wait for both his recovery and a weather window before departing for Rauria, an atoll roughly 450 nautical miles away in the Tuamotus.9:32 The delay became productive: the crew re-checked the recently repaired Code 55 before committing to the offshore passage, and provisioned daily from limited, expensive local stores, rotating visits to catch whatever produce was available without depleting stock the locals depend on.2:05 The anchorage at Te Ohe delivered an unplanned afternoon swimming with manta rays, spotted from the boat by Finn while swinging on a spare halyard.3:03 Friends aboard Kaikoa joined both the swim and a local cultural gathering in Nuka Hiva — drumming, shared food, and families — that the crew would have missed entirely had they left on schedule.3:28 The planned departure targets Tuesday, timing the 3-day passage to arrive at Rauria around 10 a.m., just before slack tide, to navigate the atoll's narrow, shallow cuts into the inner lagoon without fighting current.9:52
