Qué cubre este vídeo

Sailing to Havelock Island in the Andaman Islands, Ann-Elin and Sam tack upwind against current for several hours before anchoring on the east side near coral reefs.▶ 2:05 A sea krait boards the boat and must be coaxed off the deck — venomous but not aggressive, it is removed using a metal hook.▶ 5:10 Shortly after, the autopilot locks the steering wheel while the boat crosses a charted 30-foot depth that proves to be nearly zero; the hull strikes the reef hard before they regain control.▶ 6:30 The rudder functions normally afterward, but the incident exposes a dangerous chart inaccuracy.▶ 6:25 Anchoring near the town proves difficult, with ropes strung across the anchorage and shallow tidal fluctuations requiring careful timing.▶ 8:30 Ashore, Elephant Beach and local markets offer fresh vegetables and scuba diving at a site called The Slope, though visibility is poor on the first attempt.▶ 4:10 Beaches carry heavy plastic pollution, and a makeshift landfill sits near the main road.▶ 12:53 Food options are mostly disappointing until a local Indian restaurant delivers good paneer and butter chicken.▶ 22:46 The watermaker is operational, reducing dependence on rain collection.▶ 2:49 Chart data in the Andamans cannot be trusted for depth accuracy near reef areas.▶ 5:56
