The crew of the catamaran *Learning By Doing* aborts a planned 320-mile passage from Eden, New South Wales, to Tasmania across the Bass Strait due to unfavorable weather forecasts and a health emergency. Using the Windy app to analyze wind gusts, swell height, and route timing, the crew identifies a high-risk window featuring 30-knot winds and 3-meter seas.5:12 A diagnosis of shingles further complicates the decision, as the physical toll would hinder the crew's ability to manage the vessel in heavy conditions.17:35 Confirmation of the decision comes after a 47-foot monohull, *Popeye*, completes the same passage in 30- to 50-knot gusts and 5- to 6-meter swells, validating the crew's choice to avoid the crossing.20:30 With the season turning and the standing rigging requiring replacement, the crew cancels the Tasmania trip to head north toward Cronulla for repairs.22:12 Prioritizing conservative passage planning and vessel limitations over a tight schedule prevents potential equipment failure and crew exhaustion.
