Cosa tratta questo video
After completing repairs on their lazy bag and receiving a visa extension in Savusavu, the crew of the sailboat Y2K departs for the Yasawa Islands in Fiji.▶ 4:09 Navigating the Nasonisoni Passage, the vessel encounters strong tidal currents and shallow depths, requiring the engine to remain engaged to maintain steerage despite favorable current.▶ 6:25 The crew emphasizes the importance of maintaining speed through the water rather than over ground to ensure rudder authority in narrow, reef-lined channels.▶ 8:09 Upon reaching a sheltered anchorage near Yadua, they deploy 30 meters of chain in 9–10 meters of mud-bottom depth, using a circular tracking method on their chart plotter to verify position and swing radius.▶ 11:22 The following day, they sail 20 miles to Kukwau Harbor, managing 17–18 knots of wind under sail.▶ 17:00 The crew notes the necessity of timing arrivals at Yadua with high tide to navigate the surrounding reefs safely.▶ 21:37 They utilize Starlink for connectivity and plan to install a dedicated washdown pump for the anchor chain to manage heavy mud accumulation.▶ 16:21
