The crew of the 44-foot catamaran Big Lost prepares for a 400-nautical-mile passage from Grenada to Bonaire, marking their first attempt at a downwind sail using a Code 65 headsail.7:18 Before departure, the crew tops off diesel fuel using jerry cans, stocks fresh yellowfin tuna from the St. George's fish market, and secures a mooring ball in St. George's to avoid the rocky bottom of the local anchorage.2:31 During the initial leg, the crew experiments with sail configurations, eventually dropping the mainsail to prevent it from blanketing the Code 65 while sailing wing-on-wing.18:31 The vessel maintains an average speed of 5.6 to 5.7 knots in light winds, navigating around squalls and monitoring for floating debris.33:36 The passage includes nighttime watches and ongoing adjustments to sail trim to optimize performance in varying wind angles. The crew documents their progress alongside buddy boats Pink Flamingo, Kaikoa, and Seabella, while reflecting on their transition to a liveaboard lifestyle after 6,000 nautical miles of sailing.
