¿Qué cubre este video?
The crew of the 53-foot ketch SV Delos encounters rough conditions while departing La Paz, Mexico, for a 3,000-nautical-mile Pacific crossing.0:32 Upon exiting the Sea of Cortez, the vessel faces 25 knots of true wind and a steep, choppy sea state, forcing the crew to reef the jib and mizzen and furl the mainsail to reduce speed and prevent pounding.1:13 The crew manages a coolant leak in the engine room during the second hour of the passage.14:27 By day three, the boat reaches the vicinity of Clarion Island, where winds shift to the east, allowing the crew to rig dual headsails using poles for downwind sailing.16:30 The setup involves a sturdy metal pole, a topper, downhaul, foreguy, and afterguy to hold the sail wide for increased speed and stability.17:11 The crew maintains a rotating watch and cooking schedule, noting that current often creates a discrepancy between GPS distance and distance through the water.15:40
