Crew member reaches from dinghy to board sailboat
Hva denne videoen dekker
Sailing the remote Mentawai Islands off mainland Indonesia, the crew of Parlay Revival — a Lagoon 450 — runs critically low on fresh food after staying longer than planned at a surf break. With eight people aboard and only canned vegetables, pasta, and one packet of tofu remaining, Colin spearfishes to supplement rations, selectively shooting four fish while a crew member watches for sharks.▶ 10:29 A 150-mile overnight passage to reach the surf turns rough when both the GFS and Euromodel forecast zero wind but conditions build to 20 knots on the nose with heavy rain; the crew tacks 23 miles upwind in the dark to reach the anchorage, eventually laying out 270 feet of chain in 90 feet of water after finding the marked anchorage crowded.▶ 4:15 A venomous banded sea krait climbs the swim ladder — identified online as more toxic than a rattlesnake, capable of causing respiratory failure.▶ 8:54 Crew member Ryan is sidelined for three to four days with a fever; ciguatera is discussed but dismissed as not present in these waters.▶ 13:04 Surf charter boat tension shapes where the crew anchors and surfs, as paying charter guests expect uncrowded waves.▶ 14:35 A village resupply run yields seven trays of eggs, fresh produce, and canned goods.▶ 20:44 Thailand is the next destination, after which the crew must decide between South Africa or the Red Sea and Mediterranean.▶ 2:28
