Nova Vita completes a 21-day Atlantic crossing from the Azores to Martinique, arriving on December 28, 2024.15:55 During the passage, the crew experiences a total electrical failure, forcing them to navigate using paper charts, a compass, and a single tablet running Navionics.1:16 They operate without AIS, radar, or interior lights to conserve battery power for head torches.2:19 The autopilot also fails, requiring the crew to steer manually using the emergency tiller for extended periods.4:21 Due to the loss of refrigeration, the crew discards their entire stock of perishable food, including cheese and cured meats, mid-passage.10:10 Upon approaching Martinique, the crew reefs the mainsail to improve visibility while navigating unfamiliar waters.18:34 They anchor off Fort-de-France after a final slow overnight transit.16:42 The experience highlights the physical demands of manual steering and the necessity of reverting to traditional navigation methods when primary electrical systems fail.
