Gerard and Jacqueline prepare Avanti for an 11-day passage from the Chagos Archipelago to Madagascar.9:31 Before departure, Gerard reinforces the rig by installing a jury stay to supplement a forward lower stay that has one broken strand.7:12 He secures the new stay at the mast spreaders and anchors it to the toe rail using 8mm Dyneema line, three U-bolts, and six strands of GP12 Dyneema.8:24 The crew positions the U-bolts near the bulkheads to maximize structural strength.8:33 The planned route involves sailing southwest to navigate a gap in the Mascarene Plateau, followed by a transit through the compression zone toward Cap d'Ambre, Madagascar, before arriving at Nosy Be.9:55 The crew anticipates favorable southeast trade winds and a full moon for the initial nights of the crossing.9:31 The final day in Chagos includes snorkeling near coral bommies and observing local wildlife, including coconut crabs and bird populations on the windward side of the atoll.0:20
