On day seven of an Atlantic crossing, the crew of a cruising sailboat encounters consistent 30-knot winds and significant following seas.▶ 5:31 To prevent the boat from surfing dangerously down steep wave faces, the crew deploys a drogue from the stern.▶ 23:28 During the deployment, a dock line snags on a cleat under high tension, forcing the crew to back the boat down to release the load; the maneuver results in the loss of a cockpit cushion overboard.▶ 27:25 The vessel maintains a speed of 4 to 7 knots with a double-reefed headsail while using the drogue for stabilization.▶ 31:16 The crew utilizes a hardtop and cockpit enclosures to mitigate water ingress from cresting waves.▶ 10:19 Despite the heavy conditions, the boat’s autopilot remains operational, though it occasionally struggles to keep pace with the sea state.▶ 11:30 The crew anticipates the swell will dissipate as they move further from the weather system affecting the Canary Islands.▶ 31:50
