Cosa tratta questo video

Anissia and Tom, sailing in Vanuatu, navigate a challenging upwind passage from Ratua to Luganville to restock provisions and celebrate their tenth wedding anniversary. The couple faces 25-to-30-knot gusts and significant current, forcing them to motor at 1,800 RPM to maintain a speed of three knots against a two-to-three-knot head current.0:58 Their navigation instruments, including the depth sounder and anemometer, are non-functional, requiring reliance on a secondary depth sounder.16:26 Upon reaching Luganville, they find the anchorage uncomfortable and the local restaurant options limited.18:57 The return trip in their dinghy proves hazardous, with heavy spray and rough conditions nearly swamping the boat while carrying supplies.19:51 Back at the protected Ratua anchorage, they manage their limited food storage, including vacuum-sealing flour to prevent pest infestation and sourcing coffee from Fiji.10:09 The crew plans to continue their southward journey toward New Caledonia in stages, waiting for favorable wind windows to avoid the prevailing strong southeast trade winds.7:19
