Oliver sails his boat, Phoenix, on a 40-hour passage from Kauai back to Oahu, accompanied by a crew member named Rhodes.▶ 7:11 The crew maintains a conservative sail plan with two reefs in the main and a reefed jib to manage 14 to 15 knots of wind while sailing close-hauled.▶ 8:53 They rotate three-hour watches throughout the night to maintain progress.▶ 21:22 As the wind lightens near the destination, the crew motor-sails at 2,600 RPM, utilizing a bungee cord to bypass a faulty throttle linkage that otherwise locks at 2,000 RPM.▶ 30:27 The passage concludes with an arrival in Oahu at 2 a.m. following significant sleep deprivation.▶ 40:30 Post-arrival maintenance tasks include repairing a broken stanchion and cleaning the vessel after two weeks at anchor.▶ 43:31
