The crew of the sailboat *Jade* relocates their vessel to the marina in Port Phaeton, near Taravao, to secure it for the 2023-2024 cyclone season.14:34 They identify the marina at Papeete as inadequate for storm protection due to low pilings and vulnerability to surge.2:10 The crew anticipates an increased cyclone risk in French Polynesia caused by the El Niño climate phenomenon, which brings abnormally high water temperatures to the eastern Pacific.1:31 Before the relocation, the boat departs Papeete to transit to Moorea, navigating the northern route around the island while maintaining a speed of 5.5 to 6 knots in 20-knot winds.4:41 The crew also performs a fuel stop, taking on 900 liters of diesel at a tax-exempt rate available to transit vessels every six months, saving approximately 11,000 Pacific francs.18:25 After returning to Tahiti, they complete the final transit to the Port Phaeton anchorage, which is widely considered a reliable cyclone hole.20:27 The boat is successfully secured at the Taravao marina, allowing the crew to travel to France for the holidays.21:54
