O que este vídeo aborda

A multi-day passage from the Andaman Sea back to Langkawi, Malaysia ends with a near-loss of the anchor and a rough upwind beat in 23-knot apparent wind and large seas. Outbound, Ann-Elin and Sam sail past Phuket without stopping, dodge squid boats on night watch, and divert to the Eight Mile dive site off Kolipa hoping to see whale sharks and manta rays — but abandon the dive when currents prove too strong, burning 50 bar just swimming alongside the boat.10:48 They turn back 11 miles to Kolipa anchorage, where a crowded anchorage and fast-running chain nearly cost them the anchor: all the chain ran out and only a thin line prevented total loss, requiring both crew to haul it back by hand.13:23 The next morning they depart in 23-knot apparent wind with a second and third reef in the jib, taking large waves on the bow.14:51 A bowsprit line failure forces them to drop the screecher entirely and lose hard-won upwind progress before finally tacking into Langkawi after dark.19:17 Ann-Elin notes she could not yet change sails solo and flags that as a skill to develop.8:55
