What this video covers

On the fourth day of an Atlantic crossing, the crew of Regina maintains their position while sailing with a wing-on-wing configuration, locally referred to as "orejas de burro."1:53 The previous night presented challenging conditions characterized by light winds and significant swell, which caused the sails to slat and required the crew to adjust the rigging twice.1:42 To track their progress, the vessel transmits its location every five minutes via an inReach satellite device, with real-time data accessible through a link on the channel's homepage.0:40 While MarineTraffic and VesselFinder are available for coastal tracking, the crew notes these platforms remain ineffective in the open ocean unless a passing freighter reports their position.0:46 The crew continues their transit toward their destination, managing the boat's sail plan to optimize performance in the current light-air conditions.
