Jeanne Socrates completes Leg 1 of her solo Pacific crossing with a landfall at Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas. Approaching the entrance, she furled the jib and dropped the main early, then motored in under bare poles after squalls and 22-knot winds made sail handling at the entrance too risky.Watch A boater anchored inside the inlet radioed that conditions were manageable, though he reported a 19-knot squall shortly after; Jeanne briefly turned away from the entrance before committing to enter as weather improved.1:30 Inside, winds dropped to 15 knots and the swell disappeared entirely.0:38 She anchored in over 35 feet of water to stay clear of a coral reef near the shore, monitoring depth throughout.1:56 On her first morning she describes the anchorage as calm with light wind off the mountain and a gentle rock.2:27 Sailors she had known from Mexico were anchored nearby and provided a welcome.2:09 The approach confirms that dropping sail well before a squall-affected entrance and making radio contact with anchored boats for a conditions report are practical steps when entering an unfamiliar, squally anchorage.
