Hva denne videoen dekker
Yacht Zen Again cruises the Marquesas islands, navigating between Fatuhiva, Hiva Oa, Tahuata, and Nuka Hiva. The crew anchors in the outer harbor of Taiohae on Hiva Oa but departs after two nights due to excessive swell. Tahuata offers more protected bays, including Hanamoina Bay, where the crew participates in an Egg & Bacon Bay Yacht Club event. An overnight sail leads to Nuka Hiva, where the crew visits archaeological sites featuring stone tikis and traditional breadfruit storage pits. While re-watering via jerry cans in Daniels Bay, the crew strikes a submerged rock and damages the propeller, necessitating a replacement. The Marquesas feature dramatic basalt ridges and volcanic black sand beaches, though the islands lack consistent infrastructure for water replenishment. The crew departs the archipelago after three months to comply with visa requirements before heading to the Tuamotus.
