Ce que couvre cette vidéo
Barry Perrins, sailing the yacht Shadi, completes a passage to Nukuʻalofa, Tonga, navigating a nine-mile-wide atoll and reef-strewn waters under engine power.2:14 Upon arrival, he anchors at Big Mama’s, a popular anchorage for cruisers, but must move the boat to the main town’s inner harbor to clear customs and immigration.3:29 The inner harbor features a narrow entrance and limited space, requiring assistance from other cruisers and shore-based linesmen to moor safely at the customs quay.7:27 Perrins notes the presence of cockroaches at the quay and chooses to return to the Big Mama’s anchorage rather than berth in the main harbor.6:50 He relies on a local ferry service for transport to town for provisioning and sightseeing, as his own dinghy is too small for passengers.13:50 Water management remains a priority, with Perrins sourcing fresh water from a fellow cruiser’s watermaker.11:56
