Sweet Ruca completes a 1,200-nautical-mile passage from French Polynesia to Pago Pago, American Samoa.Watch During the final leg, the crew experiences a transition from light, fickle winds to sustained 20- to 25-knot conditions with 2.5- to 3-meter seas.0:10 To prevent sail wear and tear while downwind, the crew motors with only the Genoa deployed, omitting the mainsail.7:22 They intentionally slow the vessel to ensure a daylight arrival at the harbor entrance.13:31 Upon arrival, the harbor master directs the boat to a concrete dock for customs clearance.14:07 Departing the dock proves difficult due to 30-knot gusts pinning the vessel against the structure.15:11 The crew executes a departure by pivoting the bow out, using a fender at the stern, and timing the maneuver to coincide with a lull in the wind.15:19 They subsequently anchor in the harbor, noting that the seabed contains debris from a past tsunami.15:06
