Qué cubre este vídeo

Garrett, sailing the boat Hooligan, navigates coastal Fiji while managing a foot infection and light-wind conditions.0:08 After departing the Bay of Islands, he motors to Savusavu to address the infection, noting that low battery levels necessitated engine use for the final six miles.2:50 Later, he coordinates a 130-mile passage toward Kadavu with the crew of the boat Alibaba.4:05 When forecasted winds fail to materialize, the two vessels abandon the direct route, opting instead for a series of day hops toward the northern Yasawas to avoid overnight sailing.6:34 During these transits, Garrett uses a drone to scout shallow, unchartered anchorages and navigate reef passes where GPS accuracy is unreliable.10:36 He observes that his boat maintains a competitive speed on a beam reach in 9-knot winds but loses performance in lighter or heavier air compared to Alibaba.8:42 The trip concludes with a stop at Yadua Island before heading toward a marina on Viti Levu.9:42 Using a vacuum cleaner to inflate the dinghy significantly reduces setup time.11:57
