The crew of SV Delos sails 1,519 nautical miles across the Indian Ocean toward Chagos, maintaining a consistent downwind course with 20 to 25 knots of wind.1:30 During the 10-day passage, the crew manages seasickness with ginger and navigates through 3-meter swells while maintaining an average speed of nearly 8 knots.2:08 Four days into the trip, the crew removes seven stitches from a crew member’s hand following a barracuda bite.11:45 Midway through the passage, the primary Raymarine autopilot fails due to worn plastic gears, forcing the crew to switch to a backup unit.16:41 A wiring error during the repair causes the autopilot to steer exclusively to starboard, requiring the crew to rely on the backup system for the remainder of the transit.18:57 As the vessel nears the equator, the wind dies, extending the expected arrival time from five days to 11 days.19:12 The crew reaches land after 10 days at sea, having traveled 750 nautical miles from the nearest shore.15:52
