The crew of SV Delos completes a 15-day passage to Reunion, covering approximately 315 nautical miles in the final stretch.15:01 During the transit, the crew troubleshoots a malfunctioning jib furling motor, identifying a loose, corroded wire connection that they temporarily repair with electrical tape.11:11 Simultaneously, the vessel loses its Iridium satellite phone and SSB radio communication capabilities after a 12-volt charging adapter melts, forcing the crew to navigate the final three days without external weather data or long-range contact.11:43 The crew maintains a steady 8-knot pace under consistent downwind conditions, supplementing their supplies by catching and searing fresh fish.15:06 Upon arrival at St. Pierre, the crew confirms the successful completion of their second-longest passage to date.16:34 Troubleshooting electrical components on a boat requires systematic testing of voltage at terminals and inspecting motor brushes to isolate faults between relays and hardware.9:15
