Qué cubre este vídeo

Hitomi prepares Suisui丸 for a long passage to Japan by sending the mainsail out for reefing modification, specifically to add a third reef point so the sail can handle strong winds safely.0:26 Before folding and dropping the sail, she dries it thoroughly after days of rain-soaked conditions.1:30 The third reef reduces sail area enough to limit heel and prevent overpowering in heavy weather — she frames it as one of the most important safety steps before the Japan voyage.2:31 The dog Maruchan gets a pre-surgery grooming trim at a salon. That evening, Hitomi and crew cook tandoori chicken for dinner aboard a rolling, heaving boat; the rice scorches from inattention mid-conversation, though the chicken comes out well.6:30 The crew notes the motion is the roughest they've felt in months, comparing it to a previous passage when they made uni pasta in similar conditions.9:24 Adding a third reef point to a mainsail before an offshore passage gives a meaningful safety margin in unexpected strong wind.
