On day five of an Atlantic crossing, the crew of a cruising sailboat manages confused seas and light winds while maintaining boat systems. To mitigate heavy rolling in 12-to-13-knot true winds, the crew sails wing-on-wing, occasionally centering the mainsail to stabilize the motion.0:51 Brett Evans performs daily deck walks to inspect jack lines, preventers, and rigging for chafe, noting minor wear on a head-sail ring.19:02 The crew utilizes a Starlink Mini for connectivity, reporting successful 12-volt operation despite potential signal degradation from a protective silicone cover.22:37

Maintenance tasks include fabricating a custom double-ear splint for a dog using scrap plexiglass and Dyneema soft shackles to replace hard metal hardware.2:31 Solar output remains at 60-70% capacity due to salt accumulation, seasonal sun angles, and shading from the sails.28:00 The crew manages power and equipment security by installing individual drawer latches on the tool chest to prevent movement in rough sea states.10:09 Regular monitoring of wind angles and sail trim helps minimize sail flogging and structural stress.
