While anchored in 20 meters of water, the crew notes their anchor chain is wrapped around a coral bommie, complicating retrieval.9:22 Opting for the west coast over the sheltered east side to maintain better wind, they deploy an asymmetrical spinnaker for the first time.10:17 They route the tack line through an anchor roller and redirect it to a bollard to manage chafe.16:13 During the passage, a squall and a waterspout force the crew to douse the spinnaker quickly as wind speeds increase to 15 knots.18:12 They subsequently hoist the mainsail to continue downwind.18:55 The crew monitors fuel levels, noting uncertainty about having sufficient diesel to reach their destination port if wind conditions fail.9:00
