Barry Perrins sails the South African coast from Durban to East London and then to Port Elizabeth, navigating the Agulhas Current. During the passage from Durban, the boat experiences significant wind and sea state discrepancies between the PredictWind and Windy weather models, forcing the vessel to heave to for a day to avoid being pushed toward the beach.▶ 7:46 Upon reaching East London, the boat drags its anchor in the harbor due to a foul anchor, requiring a repositioning.▶ 12:26 Later, while approaching Port Elizabeth, the engine fails to start, prompting a rescue boat escort; the issue is identified as a user error where the gear lever remained engaged.▶ 18:09 The Agulhas Current provides significant speed gains when sailing in the deep-water trench, but the coastal route remains hazardous due to unpredictable weather fronts and heavy commercial traffic.▶ 4:30 Proper gear lever positioning is essential for engine startup, and relying on multiple weather models is critical when navigating the volatile conditions of the South African coast.
