Fresh water access proved difficult in the Society Islands, and the vessel’s onboard water maker suffered from a contaminated membrane.11:50 To prepare for a 10-day passage to Tonga, the crew utilized a borrowed portable Rainman water maker, which produced 140 liters of fresh water per hour.12:55 Clearing out of French Polynesia required three days of coordination with the local gendarmerie due to a transition from paper-based to online exit procedures.14:30 The process concluded after officials in Tahiti confirmed receipt of the digital documentation.15:32
