Qué cubre este vídeo

A solo sailor completes a 12-day passage from New Zealand to Port Resolution, Vanuatu, navigating through persistent squalls, steep seas over the Gemini Seamounts, and a broken stove gimbal.16:20 During the transit, the sailor manages heavy weather by striking the mainsail and relying on a storm jib, while using a sail tie and wooden shims to stabilize the kettle on the non-gimballing stove.2:55 The autopilot remains unreliable due to moisture, forcing the sailor to manually adjust the wind vane frequently.14:26 Upon arrival at the reef, the engine fails to start due to low battery voltage caused by prolonged cloud cover.25:05 The sailor clears the breaking waves by hand-cranking the engine to gain enough power to turn it over.26:49 Clearing into Vanuatu requires prior email permission, and the sailor prepares for arrival by readying a spotlight and the Q flag.16:40
