The crew prepares for a 469-nautical-mile passage from the Marquesas to the Tuamotu archipelago, known as the "Dangerous Archipelago" due to its low-lying atolls and reef hazards.6:15 To mitigate the risk of striking reefs, they plan their arrival for daylight hours by calculating transit times based on projected speeds of 5 to 7 knots.7:11 They use PredictWind to analyze weather, anticipating 12 to 18 knots of wind on a beam reach.8:10 Because of a compromised traveler pin, the crew sails with a double-reefed main and employs a preventer to stabilize the boom, despite the risks of using such gear at night.14:23 They also secure the anchor with a line to the shackle to prevent it from deploying accidentally in heavy seas.2:21 The passage planning involves daily speed adjustments to ensure a safe, daytime landfall at the atoll of Makini.9:36
