Throughout the transit, the crew manages 20-to-25-knot winds and a consistent two-to-three-meter swell, maintaining an average speed of 8.7 knots.2:18 The vessel carries a second-reefed mainsail and a partially furled genoa to handle squall activity.3:23 Maintenance tasks include replacing a broken barber hauler block with a Ronstan snatch block and troubleshooting a jammed spinnaker sock.8:57 For provisions, the crew bakes sourdough bread in a cast-iron pot and manages fresh produce storage, including cucumbers and tomatoes, to extend their supplies.4:39 Fishing is conducted using hand lines to avoid the difficulty of slowing the boat for traditional rod-and-reel setups, with the crew noting the presence of parasites in some skipjack tuna.17:13 The passage concludes with a landfall after 27 days at sea.21:47
