After two months of land travel in New Zealand, the owner of the 30-ft sailboat Gekko returns to the vessel to prepare for a passage to Auckland.11:00 Initial maintenance includes scrubbing the hull of barnacles, cleaning bird waste from the deck and sail cover, and clearing clogged cockpit scuppers.15:03 The scupper blockage stems from debris, including fish vertebrae and feathers, accumulating in a T-junction where the hoses meet before exiting the hull.17:19 The owner also repairs the wind vane by lashing the handle and securing it with electrical tape.16:36 Upon departing the anchorage, the owner encounters gusty conditions near the shore, requiring hand steering until clearing the bay.20:33 During the passage, the boat becomes overpowered, leading to a series of failures: a reefing block explodes, and both jib sheets fly out of their tracks after the owner fails to tie stopper knots.21:10 The vessel ends up underpowered and off-course while the owner struggles to recover the rigging and re-establish sail trim.21:40
