What this video covers

A crew of three aboard a sailboat in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean manages daily life and navigation during a six-day passage. The crew maintains a watch schedule using the autopilot, though they occasionally hand-steer to perform tacking drills.4:54 They monitor their position relative to a cohort of four other boats within a 50-to-75-nautical-mile radius, using Iridium email reports to track coordinates on Navionics.11:04 When wind conditions shift, the crew reefs the sails and adjusts their heading to seek favorable currents.0:42 During the passage, the crew accidentally hooks a seabird while trolling a fishing lure; they successfully retrieve the bird, remove the hook from its cheek, and release it unharmed.14:18 The crew also manages galley tasks, including cooking in rough, close-interval seas, and notes the difficulty of accessing food in a top-loading freezer while heeled.23:20
