Cosa tratta questo video
Max and Ale perform a sea trial for a newly installed electronic compass off the coast of Viti Levu, Fiji, requiring two full 360-degree turns at low speed to calibrate the device.1:57 After completing the calibration and auto-learning maneuvers for the autopilot, they motor to a protected anchorage near the northwest tip of Viti Levu.4:34 They anchor in a muddy, shallow bay near the islet of Nananu-i-Ra, confirming the hold by reversing the engine at 2,000 RPM.11:05 The crew plans to transit a nearby channel but remains at anchor for several days due to an incoming weather front that brings heavy rain, poor visibility, and cold temperatures.15:36 During the forced stay, they bake bread and pizza while monitoring weather forecasts to determine a safe window for navigating the narrow, reef-lined channel.16:36 The muddy bottom provides excellent holding, but requires cleaning the anchor and chain upon retrieval.6:39
