What this video covers
The crew of the 40-foot sailboat Triteia spends a day touring La Digue, Seychelles, by bicycle before completing a 26-mile passage back to Mahe.1:42 After two days on a mooring at Praslin Island, the crew departs early to avoid building winds, navigating a potentially rough point before settling into a beam reach.17:15 With 10 to 12 knots of wind, the vessel maintains a steady pace under a full headsail and one reef in the main, steered by a Hydrovane.19:10 Upon arrival in Victoria, the crew completes final logistics, including laundry, provisioning, and clearing out of the country, which costs approximately $720 for a 42-day stay.23:49 The crew notes that the Seychelles are significantly more affordable and welcoming than their previous experience in the Maldives.26:48 The passage serves as a transition for guest Victoria, who prepares to depart for California, while the owner readies the boat for an upcoming solo transit toward Madagascar.24:47
