While anchored off Little Farmer's Key, the crew utilizes the boat's forward cockpit for protection from wind and sun.10:33 During a passage toward Georgetown, the vessel maintains speeds of 8 to 10 knots in 13 knots of apparent wind while sailing downwind.17:47 Later, the crew tests upwind performance, maintaining 7 to 8.5 knots at a 35- to 40-degree apparent wind angle in 21 knots of apparent wind.20:24 The forward-positioned helm and glass separation from the galley prevent interior lighting from compromising the helmsman's night vision.18:36 The vessel’s self-tacking jib simplifies maneuvers during upwind beats.20:41 The crew also engages in freediving and snorkeling near local reefs and caves, noting the importance of community and communication for liveaboards operating charter vessels.6:17
