What this video covers

Ivo and Dajana divert their passage from Apataki to Rangiroa after unfavorable wind conditions force a change of plans.▶ 1:44 They navigate the Northwest Pass of Apataki during a low tide slack, encountering only minor standing waves, before sailing to the isolated atoll of Ahe.▶ 0:56 Upon arrival, they anchor off the main village and take their dinghy to the local pier.▶ 3:39 Ahe, known for its pearl farming and as the former residence of sailor Bernard Moitessier between 1975 and 1978, remains a quiet, rarely visited destination.▶ 4:52 The crew explores the village to locate the site of Moitessier’s former home, now occupied by private pensions.▶ 5:43 After a one-night stay, they exit the Ahe pass at 17:00 during an ebb tide with minimal turbulence.▶ 7:15 During the transit, the crew identifies that their house batteries are failing and must rely on the generator for their subsequent night passage to Rangiroa.▶ 8:46
