Lying ahull 500 miles off Nova Scotia in 45–50 knots, Chris waits out a storm that appeared on the weather chart shortly after his previous passage update.2:54 The mainsail suffered batten damage before the storm hit; both the main and jib are now fully stowed, leaving the boat beam-on to the seas with no sail up.1:04 He chose to pause rather than drive into a 983-millibar low that materialized directly ahead near the Gulf Stream.3:25 The Raymarine chartplotter shows the boat's track and AIS contacts; Chris explains that AIS targets only display when the chart is zoomed in enough to show the track line.2:31 Below decks he tours the boat: gear and knife are staged at the companionway for an emergency deck trip, and the nav-station seat has harness belts so he can sleep secured during severe motion.4:14 He uses noise-cancelling headphones to manage the psychological wear of constant wind roar.4:14 A separate video covering the mainsail damage and how the situation developed is being edited simultaneously.9:01 Waiting out a storm lying ahull, rather than pressing on with a damaged sail, was the deliberate choice.
