What this video covers
The crew of the sailboat Y2K explores the northern Yasawa Islands in Fiji, anchoring at Yasawa-Irare and an unnamed bay locally known as Champagne Beach.1:18 After performing the traditional sevu-sevu ceremony at the main village, they anchor in 4.5 meters of water over sand to escape southwesterly swells.4:23 The transit south toward Wunda Marina involves managing two mechanical failures: a Paguro 4000 generator that stopped producing 220V power and an alternator reporting a generic type-2 error due to a faulty temperature thermistor.17:59 To protect the alternator, the crew plans to manually limit its output until the sensor is replaced.19:42 The dinghy also requires new wheels, as the current tires no longer hold pressure against the rims.14:50 The vessel eventually anchors at Coro Volu Eco Resort in 10 meters of water, noting the presence of katabatic winds in the protected bay.23:21 The crew intends to reach Wunda Marina by July 12 to shelter from an incoming weather system and complete repairs.14:30
