What this video covers

Triteia, a 61-year-old sloop, completed a 30-mile passage from a rolly anchorage to the northern coast of Praslin Island in the Seychelles.1:58 The six-and-a-half-hour transit involved 10 miles of sailing and 20 miles of motor-sailing due to an obnoxious sea state in the Indian Ocean.6:49 The crew utilized a roll stabilizer to mitigate motion at anchor, though the vessel remained uncomfortable until reaching the more sheltered Praslin anchorage.1:28 During the passage, the guest crew member experienced seasickness and found relief by lying on the settee with eyes closed to minimize perceived movement.8:26 Upon arrival, the crew successfully landed their dinghy on the beach despite reports of difficult surf conditions, noting that high tide provided a manageable alcove for access.12:08 The visit to Praslin focused on exploring the island, including locating giant tortoises and visiting local markets.10:59
