Barry Perrins sails White Shadow solo northward in the Atlantic, roughly 900 miles from the Azores, hunting westerly winds for the passage home.▶ 1:09 After a week of frustrating calms and heavy rolling, he swims off the boat to inspect the anti-fouling applied in Cape Town — still clean — then nearly encounters what he identifies as beluga whales surfacing alongside moments after he climbs back aboard.▶ 2:56 An unforecast storm builds rapidly: a near-collision with LPG tanker Elas Poseidon is resolved when the tanker alters course after Perrins raises them on VHF.▶ 5:24 He turns White Shadow downwind to spill pressure, stops the Turby wind turbine to prevent overspinning, and goes on deck in harness and headcam to secure flapping rigging.▶ 6:02 The Hydrovane steers through the night.▶ 10:23 Multiple squalls follow over subsequent days — one looking severe but dissipating quickly, another carrying real wind — interspersed with flat calms, a large wind hole, and a rotten egg disposal.▶ 15:02 Perrins compacts plastic waste into water bottles, bakes bread, sprouts mung beans, and charges auxiliary batteries and a MacBook via solar panels and an inverter.▶ 17:02 Running downwind in deteriorating conditions reduces load on rig and self-steering gear more reliably than holding course.▶ 5:35
