The crew of SV Delos sails from French Polynesia toward the island nation of Niue, covering approximately 900 miles in heavy weather. During the passage, the crew encounters sustained 30-knot winds and 15-foot swells.20:33 To manage the conditions, the crew reefs the main, jib, and mizzen sails, maintaining an average speed of 8.1 knots while surfing downwind.4:33 The vessel stops briefly at Beverage Reef, a remote, submerged coral ring, to anchor and explore.11:37 Entering the reef requires navigating a narrow pass against a strong current, where the boat’s speed over ground drops to 0.7 knots.13:50 The crew notes that high tide at Beverage Reef allows significant swell to wash over the reef, creating a rolly anchorage.18:52 After a short stay, they depart for the final leg to Niue, facing continued 30-knot winds and heavy following seas.19:37 The crew relies on pre-prepared meals to manage cooking in the galley during the rough, rolling conditions.22:03
