The crew of the sailing vessel Atlas prepares for an 84-mile day sail from the Marquesas Islands to Nuku Hiva, navigating a discrepancy between electronic chart data.0:43 While Navionics charts on a tablet display a potential hazard of "green rocks" with zero depth, other devices and zoomed-out views show clear water.2:05 To mitigate the risk during the planned night arrival, the crew plots a course to maintain a two-mile buffer from the charted anomaly.19:45 The transit begins in light winds but encounters multiple squalls reaching 34 to 35 knots, forcing the crew to reef the mainsail and stow the genoa.15:04 During the downwind run, the boat reaches speeds of 9.9 knots.18:01 The vessel arrives at the Nuku Hiva anchorage at 10:30 p.m. in pitch-black conditions, using a high-beam spotlight to navigate through a crowded field of moored boats.23:16 The anchorage experiences a significant swell, causing heavy motion for the anchored fleet.23:27
