Ce que couvre cette vidéo
On the eighth day of a transatlantic passage from La Palma to Martinique, Javi and Carlos struggle with light, inconsistent winds that force frequent sail configuration changes between a poled-out genoa, a full main and genoa, and wing-on-wing setups.0:47 The crew navigates within a broad wind quadrant rather than a direct rhumb line to maintain speed, alternating between gaining westing during the day and southing at night.2:29 They report significant data consumption issues with their Starlink Mini, noting that gigabyte usage appears disproportionately high despite minimal active downloading.4:50 Furthermore, the Starlink Mini fails to operate reliably on a direct 12-volt DC power supply, despite manufacturer specifications.5:30 The unit requires a 220-volt inverter to maintain a stable connection, which increases power consumption to approximately 4 amps, comparable to the boat's refrigerator.5:45 To mitigate this, the crew limits the device's operating hours.5:42
