Qué cubre este vídeo
The crew sails from Hawaii toward the Pacific Northwest, navigating a large arc to avoid a high-pressure system in the North Pacific.9:24 During the transit, the vessel encounters rapidly cooling temperatures, shifting from tropical conditions to 40-degree air and 50-degree water.15:16 The crew reefs the mainsail three times to manage blustery gales and inconsistent, heavy swells.5:00 Despite the rough conditions, the boat maintains speeds between 8.5 and 9 knots, covering 200 miles in a 24-hour period.15:44 The passage involves significant motion that complicates cooking and sleeping, requiring the crew to keep the galley and cabins closed at night.9:46 Minke whales approach the hull during the transit.14:37 With approximately 1,133 miles remaining at the halfway point, the crew anticipates landfall in Seattle within four days.10:45 Consistent wind proves preferable to the calms experienced earlier in the voyage, even as the crew transitions to cold-weather gear and blankets.15:53
