After more than a week at sea on a 1,500-nautical-mile Atlantic crossing from West Africa to Brazil, the crew battles compounding crises in the Doldrums.0:05 The engine repeatedly shuts down; after a full night in the engine room, Thilo traces the fault to severely contaminated diesel filters — the crew concludes bad fuel taken on in Gambia clogged all three filters within days.0:36 They bleed the fuel injectors, replace every filter, and the engine stabilizes.18:52 Crew injuries accumulate in parallel: Sebastian suffers a wound serious enough to take him off watch rotation, Leonie develops itching on her feet, and Thilo's knee swells from an earlier impact — high humidity and sleep deprivation slow all recovery.12:43 Watch duties split three ways.4:10 With 10 nautical miles left to Fernando de Noronha, a night squall hits: all sailing instruments fail, leaving the crew navigating blind in storm conditions with only a GPS chart on a tablet, fighting strong current at 2 knots under engine.25:45 They arrive after 14 days.30:07 Contaminated diesel purchased in Gambia was the likely root cause of the engine failures throughout the passage.20:49
