Jeanne Socrates is roughly halfway through the final leg of her solo Pacific crossing, sailing from Fiji to Australia aboard her boat Nereida.0:44 Departing from the north end of New Caledonia, she is heading south toward Chesterfield Reef, where she plans to transit through a pass in the middle of the reef.0:57 She uses OpenCPN's satellite imagery overlay to identify reef shadows and confirm their alignment with the chart, allowing precise positioning through the pass.1:05 Conditions at the time of filming are benign — about 10 knots of wind on a beam reach, making 6 knots under full canvas.1:36 She keeps the mainsail ready to drop and reef quickly in case a squall develops, though none is present.1:56 A working refrigerator, absent during her non-stop circumnavigation, allows her to carry fresh lettuce wrapped in thin plastic, which she notes keeps well and provides regular salads throughout the passage.0:29 The OpenCPN satellite-image feature proves particularly useful for identifying reef hazards where chart detail alone may be insufficient.1:16
