Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of the catamaran Parlay Revival departs Fiji for a 450-nautical-mile passage to Tonga to retrieve two dogs left behind during a previous transit.3:35 Because the dogs were ineligible for entry into Fiji, the crew must sail the route in reverse, facing a challenging upwind trek against prevailing southeast trade winds.3:51 To mitigate the difficult conditions, the captain plans a route northeast along the top of the Fiji island group to catch a forecasted shift to northeasterly winds, avoiding a direct beat into the southeast trades.11:39 The vessel maintains an average speed of 8 knots, eventually encountering favorable beam winds that allow for the use of a Code D sail.19:56 After clearing out of Wunda Marina, the crew remains in international waters and avoids stopping at any islands.16:48 The passage concludes with a successful arrival in Nukuʻalofa, Tonga, after covering approximately 800 nautical miles of actual sailing distance.21:21
