Qué cubre este vídeo
Jeanne Socrates is sailing Nereida solo across the South Pacific, bound for Nuku Hiva, and deliberately slowing to 4.5–5 knots to time a daylight landfall on Sunday.1:27 The previous day's faster pace would have forced a nighttime arrival, requiring her to heave to and wait for dawn.1:45 With winds easing, she has poled out the Genoa to port after sailing on starboard tack through the middle of the night; the backing wind prompted the tack change.2:28 Seas have calmed alongside the wind drop, though Nereida still rolls in the residual swell.1:14 Speed through the night had been high enough that the slower pace now gives a clean arrival window without any waiting.1:27 A sunset the previous evening — the first she had caught in weeks due to radio schedules coinciding with dusk — marked the shift to more settled conditions.0:09 The passage is otherwise uneventful, with pleasant sailing weather and no mechanical or weather concerns reported.
