The crew of *La Vagabonde* completes a 900-nautical-mile passage from the Philippines to Okinawa, Japan, while navigating unpredictable squalls and managing a fouled propeller.16:42 During the transit, a sheet wraps around the propeller, forcing the captain to dive and manually clear the line while the vessel is in deep water near the Mariana Trench.3:23 The crew utilizes a Code Zero sail to maintain speed in light winds but must eventually slow the boat to meet a strict, pre-arranged arrival time required by Japanese port authorities.3:55 Upon nearing the coast, the crew discovers that Japan’s strict import laws prohibit the entry of their remaining frozen meat stores, forcing them to consume or discard the supplies before clearing customs.21:39 The passage concludes with the vessel drifting offshore overnight to comply with arrival scheduling, followed by a final approach into the bay at Okinawa.20:07 Clearing into Japan requires strict adherence to arrival windows and food import regulations, which can necessitate the disposal of significant provisions.
