Sailor grips helm as squall hits open ocean

Cosa tratta questo video

Eleven days into an Atlantic crossing on a salvaged sailboat, Brett, Jade, and Ayana are past the halfway point with roughly eight days remaining before reaching the other side, where Ayana's newly purchased boat awaits.0:17 Confused cross-swell from both directions makes for the roughest sea state of the passage, waking crew by rolling the boat continuously side to side.3:16 A jibe to a more northwesterly heading, then back to west-southwest around 260–270°, finds smaller waves and steadies the motion.25:34 Sail configuration is headsail fully out and mainsail halfway, sailing a broad reach at around 20 knots of wind with 10-foot seas.6:44 Brett deploys a warp line — a long line with a ball of knots at the end — as a light drag measure.13:33 He also inspects the autopilot in the lazarette, checking fluid level, bolt condition, arm rotation, and motor temperature; the previously repaired hydraulic leak shows no recurrence.14:28 Multiple squalls pass on both sides but bring rain without significant wind gusts.11:00 Flying fish land on deck daily, three to five at a time, nearly all dead.27:10 The crew holds off fishing deliberately — rough conditions make handling a catch dangerous, and mahi caught earlier still remains in stores.27:35
