Drake and Monique prepare to depart Greenland for a 1,400-nautical-mile passage to Ireland, aiming to complete the voyage in 10 to 14 days.12:20 The crew plans to depart in the morning to utilize a weather window that avoids significant low-pressure systems, though they anticipate demanding conditions and strong winds during the initial leg.15:58 To maintain speed, they intend to use the engine if necessary, carrying 215 gallons of diesel and 20 extra gallons of oil for maintenance.13:27 The boat is equipped with a Jordan series drogue and new rigging to handle potential storms.18:51 Due to recurring rudder drive failures in heavy seas, the crew plans to rely on the wheel-mounted autopilot rather than the hydraulic system, keeping spare belts and shear pins accessible.13:57 They have also secured extra scopolamine ear patches for seasickness.10:02 The passage requires navigating through icebergs near Prince Christian Sound before heading southeast toward Ireland.6:58
