Ce que couvre cette vidéo

An 11-hour upwind passage in Thailand's Andaman Sea begins in a choppy, whitecap-filled anchorage and ends at Koh Kradon after a mid-passage plan change when a wind shift made the original destination, Koh Rok, too late to reach safely.▶ 9:32 Early in the passage a squall forces a third reef in the main and jib; boat speed drops to four knots in 21 knots of wind before conditions ease to a steady five to six knots.▶ 4:45 Starlink loses signal far offshore.▶ 6:03 Ann-Elin notes the catamaran's motion is predictable enough that she eats and drinks throughout with no seasickness — a contrast she draws explicitly against her experience on a monohull.▶ 6:50 At Koh Kradon, a dinghy dock gives access to a jungle trail with dense vegetation, spiders, mushrooms, and a viewpoint over the anchorage.▶ 15:01 Snorkeling reveals severely bleached and largely dead coral reefs, which Ann-Elin attributes to heavy boat traffic and sustained ecological pressure.▶ 20:14 The crew anchors at Koh Rok the following day and snorkels there as well. The passage reinforces that building tolerance for rough upwind conditions requires repeated exposure rather than waiting for ideal weather.
