A 25-mile passage from Taihoae Bay, Nuku Hiva, to Hakahau, Ua Pou, in the Marquesas Islands involves navigating significant swell and 17- to 22-knot winds.0:08 During the transit, leeway and current push the vessel off course, forcing a late-afternoon tack into 22-knot apparent winds to reach the harbor entrance before sunset.9:00 The Hakahau anchorage is extremely confined, requiring the use of a stern anchor to prevent swinging into other vessels.10:13 Upon arrival, the crew deploys a 12-kilogram grapnel stern anchor with assistance from nearby cruisers to secure a position.10:42 The anchorage offers limited protection from swell outside the harbor wall, and shifting conditions can cause stern lines to foul on steering gear, such as a Hydrovane rudder.13:09 The harbor’s small size and exposure to swell necessitate precise positioning and the frequent use of stern anchors for visiting yachts.15:19
