Crew wrestles large fish on deck of sailboat
Qué cubre este vídeo
The whole family — Lauren, her brother, and her parents — boards together in French Polynesia and motors 50 miles from Fakarava South Pass to a second atoll after finding no wind in the forecast.1:03 En route, a large tuna strikes a trolling line and triggers a chaotic deck scene: the fish is too big to lift cleanly, the hook tangles in its wing, and the crew works through removing the hook with pliers before releasing it.2:54 A second, smaller tuna is landed successfully and eaten for dinner that night, with sharks circling the anchored boat afterward, drawn by the smell.15:42 The shaft seal on the main engine leaks again after backing down to set the anchor but is fixed in about ten minutes.6:55 The group dives the pass multiple times, visits a pink-sand beach on a picture-perfect motu, and sails north to the top pass.20:22 The video ends with the crew preparing to take on fuel and depart within three hours, with a whale sighting nearby prompting a last-minute detour.20:37
