Jerome Rand is sailing his Westsail 32, *Sparrow*, solo on a passage from the vicinity of Bermuda toward the Abacos and Grand Bahama Island.5:08 Eight days into the voyage, the vessel is maintaining a steady pace on a beam reach in light winds.0:44 Rand reports a potential mechanical issue with the engine, noting that the oil level is rising and the oil appears less viscous, suggesting diesel fuel may be leaking into the crankcase.20:43 He plans to perform an oil change and investigate the injector pump.20:31
The passage serves as a period of mental decompression for the sailor, who has intentionally limited his consumption of digital media and podcasts to maintain a meditative state.12:07 His daily routine includes a brief 30-minute window to connect to Starlink for essential communications, followed by a return to low-input activity.14:09 He intends to use the remainder of the trip to practice celestial navigation, aiming to create a simplified worksheet for future training.15:35 He also utilizes self-stabilizing binoculars for stargazing during night watches.18:44
