Cosa tratta questo video

A 3.5-day passage from Fiji to Vanuatu aboard Vagabond covers roughly 470 miles, with Tom and Anissia encountering 3-meter swells and 30-knot gusts in the opening days, lighter winds mid-passage requiring several hours of motoring, and a hard beat to windward in 25–30-knot gusts during the final six hours.▶ 2:10 On day three they caught their first-ever marlin on a 40-meter line — a manageable size given the narrow stern — providing several days of meals including sashimi and sesame-crusted mi-cuit.▶ 0:48 The autopilot, recently serviced in Fiji, held throughout the rough final stretch.▶ 21:20 Arriving at night near Port-Résolution on Tanna Island, all GPS units briefly lost accuracy approaching a narrow bay with breaking surf and shallow patches; Tom and Anissia chose not to enter and anchored instead at a black-sand beach below an active volcano.▶ 17:48 Starlink failed to connect during the rough conditions, and the anemometer stopped displaying true wind.▶ 14:54 Customs and biosecurity officials boarded a neighboring boat to process multiple arriving vessels simultaneously; payment required Vanuatu vatu, with Australian or US dollars accepted as backup.▶ 24:50 The crew's rule: when in doubt about a night entry, don't attempt it.▶ 18:35
