Qué cubre este vídeo

A 1,300-mile passage from French Polynesia to Tonga concludes after 13 days at sea.24:06 The crew navigates deep-water sections exceeding 8,000 meters, while identifying hazards such as the Antipope Reef and the Capricorn Seamounts, which present risks of turbulent water and steep, forced-up seas.5:11 Throughout the transit, the vessel relies on a wind vane for steering, though the loss of AIS functionality creates significant anxiety during night watches and low-visibility conditions.6:08 The crew attempts to repair a snapped antenna cable by climbing the mast but remains without AIS for the final two days.7:50 Sailing conditions vary from 35-knot gales to light 10-knot winds, requiring frequent sail adjustments, including reefing the main and flying a spinnaker.15:35 The passage ends with a time zone shift that effectively skips a calendar day, followed by a landfall in Tonga.22:20
