The crew of SV Delos navigates the shallow, poorly charted waters of Vava'u, Tonga, after completing a 1,400-nautical-mile passage. To safely transit a pass with a 2.2-meter draft, the captain uses the dinghy as a scout vessel, employing a handheld depth sounder to verify depths and guide the main boat through the shallows.▶ 17:21 The crew maintains a speed of two to three knots while following the dinghy’s path, keeping known shallow spots to starboard.▶ 19:53 Upon reaching the anchorage, the crew executes a controlled drop by reversing slowly to lay out the chain, confirming the anchor is set by monitoring the boat's speed over ground until it reaches zero.▶ 21:02 The crew also removes the safety netting from the lifelines, citing the child’s increased swimming proficiency.▶ 11:58 Additionally, the team provides an update on the ongoing refit of SV Delos, explaining that interior wall panels are being mounted on aluminum tracks to ensure the hull remains accessible for future maintenance before final insulation and upholstery.▶ 4:56
