Qué cubre este vídeo

Garrett departs Apataki, French Polynesia, on his boat Hooligan for an 81-mile passage to Rangaroa.0:09 He navigates the Tiputa Pass at 5:40 a.m. on February 17, encountering a strong outgoing current that limits his speed to 1.5 knots.2:57 Because his windlass is broken and the anchor swivel does not fit the bow roller, he manually deploys his anchor and attaches three large floats to the chain to prevent it from snagging on coral bommies.4:21 He successfully receives a replacement outboard engine in Rangaroa after two previous failed shipments.5:58 The high cost of fuel in the Tuamotu Islands totals $135 for 10 gallons of diesel and 9 gallons of gasoline.8:36 He notes that the strong currents in the atoll passes necessitate precise timing to avoid dangerous standing waves, particularly when wind opposes the tide.2:45
