Tom and Anissia depart Fiji aboard their Sweden Yachts for a roughly three-day passage to Port Resolution, Vanuatu — an unofficial entry port requiring advance customs notification by email and a pre-departure form.0:20 The autopilot fails within hours of leaving the Fiji lagoon, overwhelmed by 3-meter swells with 8-second periods and gusts to 30 knots.27:02 The Windpilot wind vane takes over and steers reliably through the rough first night while the autopilot cannot cope.27:21 Routing was planned using Weather4D, with a compromise track — slightly north of direct — chosen to avoid a calming zone while accounting for a southerly swell and a low-pressure system to the south.3:20 The first 24 hours cover 145 nautical miles at a 6-knot average despite the swell slowing progress.29:47 Day two brings a 11-hour motoring stretch through a wind hole before sailing resumes.30:46 The autopilot recovers in moderate conditions (15 knots, 2-meter swell) and handles daytime steering, with the Windpilot reserved for heavy conditions.28:16 Anissia suffers seasickness from day two onward.31:32 The destination is Port Resolution, anchoring beneath an active volcano.29:12
