Sven Yrvind reviews South Atlantic routing charts for a planned high-latitude passage, tracing a route from Europe southward, through the doldrums, past the corner of Brazil, and down toward Cape Horn and the west coast of Chile, with a target destination near Corral, close to Bolivia.0:03 The routing chart for July–August shows a one-knot westward equatorial current and southeast trade winds running force 8 to 12 against the intended track — conditions that trapped him in the doldrums for a month in 1979.0:51 He replaces corroded stainless steel fittings with new ones, fitting lanyards and rounding their edges to protect the hull.2:11 Provisioning planning includes sardines with skin and bones sourced near Vigo, Spain, and pumpernickel bread — chosen for its roughly one-year shelf life — to absorb the sardine oil.4:06 He also notes Nitiga notebooks as a preferred tool for boat design drawings.2:49 No single departure date is given; Yrvind acknowledges the doldrums crossing timeline is unpredictable.1:52
