Qué cubre este vídeo

Camille and Jesse sail their boat Stella along the northern coast of Nias, a large island off western Sumatra, during the final weeks of wet season, dodging heavy squalls and unpredictable northeasterly-to-southeasterly wind shifts.0:31 The 27.7-nautical-mile passage to Ofulu involves a tense anchor retrieval in shallow, rock-strewn water with less than 20 meters of depth under the keel close to shore.2:12 Camille logs each passage by recording nautical miles to destination, fuel and water levels, battery percentage, ETA, and ongoing coordinates and wind conditions.3:16 A leaking diesel jerry can forces a transfer of remaining fuel into a spare water container — a close call that underscores carrying redundant containers.7:23 Local fishermen paddle out to Stella at anchor and sell two juvenile amberjacks for 100,000 rupiah; the crew fillets and fries them before heading to surf.10:47 The target break runs 8–10 feet with reef inside; Jesse pulls into a large barrel and kicks out early when it goes square onto the reef.4:36 An Australian expat met in the lineup invites the crew to a barbecue of Spanish mackerel and cold Bintangs, followed by karaoke.20:27 New crewmate Kaza joined with no prior sailing experience.0:58
