What this video covers
The crew of SV Delos sails from a marina in Fiji toward Muscat Cove, retracing a route they first navigated 14 years ago.▶ 0:36 During the coastal transit, the crew encounters 17 to 22 knots of wind, requiring the vessel to beat upwind through the Kubulu passage.▶ 2:06 They stop at Nasabu village to perform a sevusevu ceremony, presenting kava to the village chief to request permission to anchor.▶ 7:34 The crew notes that the anchorage is typically untenable in prevailing easterly winds, but they find it calm during their visit.▶ 12:15 Upon reaching Muscat Cove, the crew prepares for a 1,500-nautical-mile passage to Australia, which they anticipate will be their final long-distance ocean crossing on the boat.▶ 22:11 The transit involves day-hopping, fishing, and managing the vessel's systems while balancing the emotional transition of completing a circumnavigation.▶ 14:42
