The crew of the sailing vessel Atlas departs Newcastle, New South Wales, on a 65-nautical-mile passage toward Sydney, Australia, with the intention of anchoring in Pittwater if daylight fades.1:00 The vessel operates without an AIS system due to a broken VHF/AIS antenna splitter, which suffered a failed solder connection on its internal circuit board.21:20 Throughout the passage, the crew contends with confused seas and light winds that necessitate motoring, though they anticipate building northeasterly winds gusting to 25 knots by evening.3:55 To manage the downwind run, the crew utilizes a spinnaker pole for the genoa and a preventer on the mainsail to mitigate accidental jibes.17:00 Upon reaching the Pittwater inlet in 26-knot winds, the crew secures a mooring for the night to avoid entering Sydney Harbour in the dark.20:26 The crew plans to complete the final 20-mile leg to Sydney the following morning.6:54
