Lauren Landers sails from Tahanea to the Fakarava South Pass, then continues 30 miles to the North Pass to resupply.▶ 1:00 Fakarava serves as the primary location in the Tuamotus for refilling U.S.-standard propane tanks and sourcing groceries.▶ 1:49 To prevent anchor chain from wrapping around and damaging coral in deep anchorages, Landers attaches pearl floats to the chain.▶ 3:23 She estimates the number of floats based on depth, typically placing the first float once some chain is on the bottom to ensure the anchor remains set while keeping the chain off the reef.▶ 3:00 She recommends diving to inspect the float placement immediately after anchoring to avoid retrieval issues during a blow.▶ 3:17 After completing her errands, Landers joins a group of boats for a potluck barbecue in 20-knot winds.▶ 7:43 The crew later explores the pass for surfing and attempts a spearfishing mission, which they abandon after encountering a school of 30 reef sharks.▶ 14:03
