A solo sailor cruises the islands of Vanuatu, including Epi, Ambrim, and Pentecost, while buddy boating with the 62-foot Oyster sailboat *Uhuru*.2:10 The transit involves frequent motor-sailing through island wind shadows and overnight passages to reach specific cultural events, such as traditional land diving on Pentecost.2:32 Navigating these volcanic islands requires careful visual pilotage to avoid coral bommies when anchoring in shallow, sandy patches.18:08 During a 60-mile passage from Pentecost to Epi, the crew performs a man-overboard drill and manages anchor retrieval in coral-fouled bottoms.15:22 The sailor notes that raising the mainsail while still on anchor helps maintain the boat's head-to-wind position when sailing solo, whereas having a second crew member allows for more flexibility.16:00 The trip includes snorkeling with barrel jellyfish and seeking local permission before hosting beach fires, as most coastal land in the region is privately owned.12:00
