Crew battles storm seas aboard sailboat under gray sky

Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο

Brett, Jade, and Ayana are 10 days into a roughly 20-day Atlantic crossing aboard their salvaged sailboat, with approximately 10 days remaining before reaching the far side where Ayana's newly purchased boat awaits.0:17 Conditions include persistent large seas with occasional waves estimated at 25–30 feet, intermittent squalls, and a large-seas warning the crew narrowly skirted.2:31 The crew executes a heave-to maneuver — their first in such conditions — to give the dogs a bathroom break and let everyone rest; the technique works, slowing the boat while maintaining a steadier motion.3:27 Sail trim adjustments to manage squalls include reducing to a triple-reefed headsail and a sliver of mainsail, still making 8 knots.12:22 Two offshore-rated compasses, each costing around $300, both fail mid-passage, sticking at 210 degrees.10:47 The fresh-water pressure pump also fails; Brett replaces it underway.22:41 Eisenglass cockpit enclosure panels take repeated wave strikes without damage.14:06 Brett's Garmin Descent Mark II dive watch tracks sleep quality mid-passage, logging seven hours at a score of 74.21:34 Crew morale is low from caffeine withdrawal due to upset stomachs, dehydration, and fatigue, though conditions improve enough by day's end for cooking, cleaning, and showers.1:18
