Gunnar Christensen reports persistent southwesterly winds in the Atlantic Ocean, forcing him to pound to windward while attempting to reach the trade winds.0:35 After crossing the doldrums further east than intended, he maintains a position roughly equal to Étienne Messikommer.1:53 To clean the hull, Christensen used an inflatable dinghy as a stable platform, which allowed him to scrub the waterline and dive underneath to remove barnacles with a Scotch-Brite brush.4:13 During the process, he neglected to secure the dinghy to the boat, forcing him to start the engine to retrieve the drifting craft.3:34 He notes that the dinghy provides a superior vantage point for hull maintenance compared to floating alongside the vessel.5:20 Despite the challenging conditions and the loss of three microphones for his live broadcasts, he reports that the boat remains in good condition.6:45
