Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A cruising couple sailing near Iwaoa faces challenging wind and swell conditions while attempting to reach Anayapa.Watch After encountering 20-knot headwinds and adverse currents, they anchor in the unprotected bay of Anamenu to wait for a weather window.2:55 The anchorage proves uncomfortable due to heavy swell, causing the boat to roll significantly and making shore access difficult.17:23 The crew uses a kayak to reach the beach, where they meet a local resident named Eugène who provides bananas and lemons.10:24 During the shore visit, the crew suffers severe bites from nonos, small biting midges common in the region, leading to allergic reactions.17:32 After an "infernal" night of rolling at anchor, the pair departs at first light to motor along the coast toward their destination, timing the transit to avoid stronger afternoon winds.18:09 The experience highlights the difficulty of finding protected anchorages in remote areas and the necessity of early morning departures to beat prevailing headwinds.
