Replacing our main halyard (at anchor) is a difficult job, especially when we are battling large swell and fading light. We have a damaged line lifting our main sail and if we don't replace it now, we might find ourselves with bigger problems the next time we're out sailing offshore in big winds and that could be a disaster. So even though it is not ideal conditions, we have to try and make this repair before we can set sail for the next island.

We filmed so much of our adventure this week that we couldn't fit it all into one episode, so this extra video is a short bonus feature for you.
