Ce que couvre cette vidéo
A GGR 2026 competitor records a solo log during the 00:00–06:00 watch on September 7, 2026, sailing toward Cape Finisterre with roughly 250–300 miles still to run, making approximately 6 knots on a heading of 240–255 degrees through a calm Bay of Biscay night.5:38:34 The sailor tracks speed and heading manually every hour in a paper log, noting the hydrovane and wind vane are both functioning and that the jib needed minor trimming once overnight.5:01:55 A light-air lull is expected within the next day or two, lasting perhaps five to six hours, with a plan to drop to three reefs and switch to a cutter sail.5:18:49 Electrical load runs 6.5–7 amps covering VHF, AIS, and Starlink; a 300 Ah lithium house bank handles the draw, with an isolated engine-start battery kept as an emergency backup charged by portable solar.5:35:00 The YB3 tracker is running; AIS will be kept active through the Bay of Biscay.5:35:26 Daily water consumption is budgeted at 2 liters, with plans to collect rainwater near the equator.5:42:55 The sailor reviews Yellow Brick preset emergency messages and notes a scheduled HF radio contact with fellow competitor Matthew Wright at 1800 on a pre-arranged frequency.5:48:34
