A 46-ft yacht, *Atlas*, encounters unforecast 35-knot squalls and gale-force winds while on a 1,292-nautical-mile passage from Reteia, French Polynesia, to Tonga.3:16 During the storm, the crew experiences beam-on seas and takes a large wave over the deck, prompting them to heave-to for five hours to stabilize the vessel.53:40 Following the weather event, the crew discovers the VHF antenna has been lost from the masthead, disabling their AIS transmission and reception.56:59 The loss of AIS significantly impacts crew morale, as they rely on the system for collision avoidance during night watches and are concerned about the lack of marine infrastructure in Tonga for repairs.1:01:41 Throughout the passage, the crew manages variable trade winds, uses a cutter-rigged setup for stability, and contends with large fish damaging fishing gear.20:10 The crew maintains a 100-liter water tank supplemented by rainwater collection and monitors weather patterns via Windy to navigate around high-pressure systems.8:15
