The crew of Sea Dream of Clyde departs the Strait of Juan de Fuca for a multi-day offshore passage to San Francisco.0:07 After testing a tri-sail near Cape Flattery, the crew encounters a Pacific swell and utilizes the spinnaker before wind conditions necessitate reefing the mainsail to two reefs.4:17 The vessel maintains a steady average of five to six knots, covering 120 miles in the first 24 hours.6:55 Throughout the transit, the crew manages seasickness, sleep deprivation, and battery charging issues caused by sails shading the solar panels.12:55 A Hydrovane self-steering system maintains the heading for extended periods, though the crew manually adjusts sail plans to balance speed against uncomfortable, rolly sea states caused by conflicting wind waves and swell.5:52 Wildlife encounters include albatross sightings and a pod of 30 to 40 dolphins playing at the bow.11:45 The passage involves periods of light wind, requiring the crew to decide between motoring or waiting for forecasted breeze.15:49
