Qué cubre este vídeo
Garrett, sailing the 35-ft boat Hooligan, transits from Bunda Marina to Kandavu Island, Fiji, to escape an approaching weather shift. The 24-hour passage involves motoring through glassy conditions before encountering 20-to-30-knot winds and short-period swells near the island’s mountainous coast. After anchoring at Kandavu, the crew relocates three hours east to Ono Island to find a more protected bay ahead of an expected wind shift to the east.▶ 13:00 The vessel carries 35 gallons of water and 35 gallons of diesel, providing a 250-mile range under power.▶ 6:28 Maintenance projects include replacing stern tube bolts and repainting trim.▶ 2:24 During the trip, the crew participates in a traditional kava ceremony at a local village and visits markets in Kandavu to restock provisions.▶ 18:07 The passage confirms that increased weight forward from new equipment negatively impacts the boat's sailing performance in choppy conditions.▶ 11:27
