Qué cubre este vídeo

Adam and Luke are anchored at Musket Cove in Fiji, waiting for a weather window to begin a 600-nautical-mile passage to New Caledonia.▶ 0:47 The pair has delayed the transit for six weeks due to persistent low-pressure systems moving across the route from Australia and recurring mechanical failures on their boat, Chequers.▶ 1:55 Recent maintenance on the vessel has addressed engine, drive leg, and electrical issues resulting from long-term neglect by previous owners while the boat sat in Tahiti.▶ 4:08 Despite these ongoing repairs and a recent drone-related facial injury sustained by Adam, the crew intends to depart next week, prepared to pause mid-passage if necessary to avoid incoming weather systems.▶ 1:38 The owners are currently soliciting 400 additional followers for their Facebook page to reach a 10,000-follower milestone.▶ 2:12 They confirmed they will retain the name Chequers, as changing it would require updating the vessel's AIS registration.▶ 4:24
