On November 28, Andre M Homem de Mello encounters a severe storm in the South Atlantic Ocean, recording wind speeds fluctuating between 37 and 53 knots. The vessel maintains significant speed while navigating through heavy seas and a dense white mist that obscures visibility. The conditions mirror those experienced on November 22, characterized by high-intensity winds and steep, breaking waves. Despite the intensity of the weather, the boat remains stable, though the crew considers further reducing the sail area to manage the risk posed by the turbulent sea state. The sailor notes that while the wave height has not yet reached the maximum levels previously encountered, the wind velocity remains extreme. The experience highlights the necessity of proactive sail management when sailing through high-latitude storm systems.
