Qué cubre este vídeo
A 12-mile coastal passage in Vanuatu from the island of Amoeba to a waterfall anchorage proves difficult due to 25-knot southeast trade winds funneling between islands.17:54 The crew attempts to sail upwind but finds the angle poor and the current strong, eventually resorting to three hours of motoring to reach the destination.18:03 Facing sustained 30-knot winds and a challenging weather window for their planned 1,000-mile offshore passage to Australia, the crew decides to abandon their original plan to visit Portville.18:41 Instead, they turn back toward Luganville to clear customs and depart the country early.19:04 The crew also seeks medical treatment at a local hospital for a spreading skin infection, receiving a course of antibiotics.23:36 To manage their limited Australian visa duration, they plan to apply for a bridging visa upon arrival, citing the danger of navigating Australian waters during cyclone season as justification for an extended stay.19:39
