Cosa tratta questo video

Erica and Warren depart the Yasawa Islands after roughly a month of island-hopping, sailing south along the Yasawa coast back to Fiji's main island to re-provision before heading to the Lao Group.8:46 The departure is timed to a northerly wind — rare in the area — making the downwind run south possible.8:31 Running low on food, with only frozen meat remaining, forces the decision to leave despite wanting more time at their final northern anchorage, which they rate among the best they've visited.8:08 The passage is sailed with the mainsail and a code zero in approximately 10 knots of apparent wind; a new spinnaker is rigged on deck but not deployed on the first attempt because the wind angle sits around 90 degrees apparent and the boat is on a lee shore, leaving little margin for a first-time launch.15:18 Once clear of the coast and headed dead downwind, they plan to fly the kite for the first time.18:54 A carabiner fix to the "cook hook" (a boom preventer system) is briefly shown as a recent improvement.13:56 The Lao Group is named as the next destination, described as the most spectacular cruising area in Fiji and compared to the Tuamotus.9:16
