Hazards

Roughly 70 km offshore expedition, with the database pin only a midpoint. Boat support, tracking/communications, weather window, reef/pass navigation, traffic, bailout, hydration and landing logistics are essential.

“Interview explicitly reports a roughly 70 km sea downwind from Nouméa to Ténia. Pin is a rough route midpoint, not a launch; this is a major offshore undertaking. Requested-field batch 06 verified 2026-08-01: exact, nearby, area-pin and route-endpoint relationships are explicit; unresolved items remain Unknown.”
