Qué cubre este vídeo
A 45-foot sailing catamaran, *Some Tuesday*, navigates a four-day passage from the Marquesas Islands to Raroia Atoll in the Tuamotus.2:31 During the transit, the crew encounters a 26-knot squall that causes interior damage, including broken mirrors and displaced plants.14:54 The passage includes a failed attempt to land a large tuna, which escapes after the fishing line fouls the vessel's propeller.9:37 Approaching the Raroia Pass in heavy rain, poor visibility, and 27-knot winds, the crew debates whether to enter the atoll or heave-to offshore.17:27 Relying on satellite charts to identify deep-water channels and avoid coral heads, they decide to proceed through the pass at slack tide.19:57 Once inside the lagoon, they must navigate a minefield of coral bombies in low-visibility conditions to reach a safe anchorage.16:56 The experience highlights the necessity of using satellite imagery for navigation in atoll passes when weather obscures visual landmarks.
