Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of the 60-foot trimaran La Vagabonde explores the islands of Saipan, Tinian, and Rota in the Northern Mariana Islands while practicing freediving and spearfishing. During a stop in Rota, the crew locates a remote underwater limestone cave, requiring calm swell conditions for a deep, lengthy swim-through. The site features a natural light beam known as the Jesus light beam, with depths reaching 80 feet. Throughout the voyage, the crew balances sailing logistics with freediving training, noting the importance of equalizing and managing hypoxia during deep breath-hold dives. They navigate between islands based on weather windows, occasionally encountering challenging anchoring conditions due to wind and bottom topography. The crew also utilizes the Sea People app for logging miles and connecting with the sailing community. While transiting between islands, they deploy a code zero sail to increase speed, reaching 20 knots in flat sea states. The experience highlights the necessity of respecting local customs and seeking permission when visiting sacred sites like Tonga Cave.
