Qué cubre este vídeo
Lauren Landers sails from the Fakarava North Pass to the South Pass in the Tuamotu Archipelago, French Polynesia, during a period of uncharacteristically light winter winds.▶ 4:50 The 15-mile passage involves flying a spinnaker in the lagoon, requiring constant vigilance to avoid coral bombies and pearl floats.▶ 4:08 Upon arrival at the South Pass, a popular shark-diving destination, the crew utilizes a buddy boat’s dive compressor and tanks to drift-dive the pass.▶ 6:30 Navigation through the pass requires timing to avoid strong outgoing currents caused by ocean swell.▶ 13:59 The anchorage inside the atoll features tricky, coral-heavy holding.▶ 14:19 While filming a flotilla raft-up, a drone lands prematurely in the water due to an automated safety feature, leaving the vessel without primary aerial equipment.▶ 12:38 The journey continues to the island of Paiute, where the crew encounters windy, rainy conditions and observes local surfing.▶ 17:36
