The crew of the 40-foot catamaran Nahoa, currently on a Pacific crossing from Panama to the Marquesas, stops to circumnavigate Malpelo Island, a remote Colombian UNESCO World Heritage site located hundreds of miles offshore.12:22 The island serves as a protected flora and fauna sanctuary, monitored by a small military and research outpost.18:57 While the crew initially considers snorkeling, they decide against it due to the presence of large sharks and the rough, exposed conditions on the windward side of the rock.20:42 The island lacks formal anchoring spots, and the crew observes a catamaran moored in the lee of the cliffs.15:14 After communicating with the station personnel via VHF radio, the crew confirms that while fishing and anchoring are strictly prohibited, transient vessels may pass through the area.18:02 The crew continues their passage toward French Polynesia, utilizing a new Precision Sails Code Zero laminate sail for downwind performance.22:39
