Sailing to Havelock Island in the Andaman Islands, Ann-Elin and Sam tack upwind against current for several hours before anchoring on the east side near coral reefs.2:06 A sea krait boards the boat and must be coaxed off the deck — venomous but not aggressive, it is removed using a metal hook.5:18 Shortly after, the autopilot locks the steering wheel while the boat crosses a charted 30-foot depth that proves to be nearly zero; the hull strikes the reef hard before they regain control.6:30 The rudder functions normally afterward, but the incident exposes a dangerous chart inaccuracy.6:32 Anchoring near the town proves difficult, with ropes strung across the anchorage and shallow tidal fluctuations requiring careful timing.8:30 Ashore, Elephant Beach and local markets offer fresh vegetables and scuba diving at a site called The Slope, though visibility is poor on the first attempt.4:03 Beaches carry heavy plastic pollution, and a makeshift landfill sits near the main road.11:47 Food options are mostly disappointing until a local Indian restaurant delivers good paneer and butter chicken.22:46 The watermaker is operational, reducing dependence on rain collection.2:50 Chart data in the Andamans cannot be trusted for depth accuracy near reef areas.6:25
