Cosa tratta questo video
A couple sailing across the Pacific Ocean on a 24-day passage manages a starter motor failure by manually jumping the solenoid with a wire.7:13 To control the mainsail boom after a traveler failure, they implement a Spectra line solution, rotating the line daily to manage chafe and using a secondary backup line.7:26 During the final 400 nautical miles, the crew catches a large spearfish, which they fillet and freeze for long-term provisioning.14:34 They navigate light wind conditions using PredictWind grib files to monitor weather windows.1:22 While attempting to retrieve a drone mid-passage, the crew experiences a near-collision with the standing rigging, resulting in minor finger injuries.9:42 The passage marks the first time the vessel has jibed since departing Ecuador, keeping the boat on the same tack for the majority of the transit.6:44 The crew maintains a consistent speed of 4 to 8 knots, relying on autopilot for true wind hold during light-air sailing.6:24
