A Westsail 32 sailing from Fort Pierce, Florida, toward the Abacos in the Bahamas experiences erratic performance from its windvane, identified as "Mongo."19:52 The owner reports that the windvane requires a full strip-down and cleaning of its bearings and bushings, noting that the unit has never functioned so poorly.19:43 He suspects the wooden wind blade may be out of balance.20:24 During the transit, the vessel encounters light winds and heavy northerly swells, forcing the crew to repeatedly jibe while sailing wing-on-wing to maintain a course through current-heavy waters near the Abacos.16:53 The boat’s house battery bank, consisting of aging lead-acid batteries, fails to reach a full charge from a 220-watt solar panel alone, requiring engine assistance to reach optimal voltage.12:17 Despite these mechanical and electrical issues, the vessel maintains a steady pace using a mainsail, staysail, and number one jib, with Navionics used for navigation and course verification.21:45
