Cosa tratta questo video
The crew of SV Delos encounters heavy seas and a leaking bow thruster while sailing east across the Southern Indian Ocean toward Reunion.1:36 During the first five days of the passage, the vessel experiences 30-knot winds and large swells, causing significant motion that leads to crew seasickness and difficulty sleeping.9:13 A saltwater leak develops in the forward bilges because the bow thruster seal fails to compress properly when the boat slams into waves.18:18 The crew performs a temporary repair by manually tensioning the bow thruster cables to lift the unit and compress the seal, intending to replace the seal permanently upon arrival in Reunion.19:14 Despite the challenging conditions and equipment issues, the crew maintains morale, eventually transitioning to downwind sailing as a high-pressure system stabilizes the weather.24:02 Regular watch rotations and meal preparation continue throughout the transit. Tightening the bow thruster cables provides an effective emergency fix to stop water ingress during heavy weather.19:03
