Tallulah, 16 weeks pregnant, departs Saldanha Bay, South Africa aboard the Tayana 47 CC Nandji 2 bound for St Helena Island — the first leg of a 7,000-nautical-mile Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean.0:05 A two-day immigration delay over pending visa extensions pushed departure to 2 p.m. instead of early morning.0:49 A pre-departure ultrasound confirmed the baby's heartbeat and measurements were normal, clearing a key concern before going offshore.1:10 The crew runs six-hour night watches — Tallulah 6 p.m. to midnight, Josh midnight to 6 a.m. — with daytime naps to manage fatigue and pregnancy rest needs.4:43 AIS failed to display a nearby ship before departure and continued malfunctioning at sea; on morning three, a ship appeared close aboard while Tallulah stood watch alone, triggering a frightened shout that woke the crew.4:12 The routing strategy follows a heading of 300–330 degrees to work north out of a low-pressure squeeze between two South Atlantic highs, aiming to reach the southwest trade winds for a beam reach to St Helena at 15 degrees south.3:17 Light and variable winds forced motoring and upwind sailing rather than the downwind run planned.8:04 The passage covers 32 degrees south to 12 degrees north.10:21 Marine insurance provider Keen is discussed, including how they structure navigation limits and handle mid-passage policy changes by email.10:34
