Adam and Chiara sail their 40-year-old boat, *Millennial Falcon*, on a 3,600-nautical-mile non-stop passage from the Caribbean to Iceland.1:15 The crew departs with a five-day weather window, initially motoring to clear the lee of Anguilla before heading north.1:42 Early in the trip, a furling line jams on a staysail winch, forcing the crew to use a rolling hitch and a larger winch to create enough slack to clear the tangle.6:16 The first few days involve beating into wind and swell, causing the crew to re-secure a shifting dinghy and adjust their waypoint to improve motion.13:34 By day six, the boat reaches a steady rhythm, beam reaching in 12 knots of wind.19:37 Maintenance tasks include applying sticky Dacron patches to the mainsail where lazy jack battens cause chafe.24:11 The crew manages water consumption and dishwashing by limiting their gear to two bowls and two spoons.17:12 After eight days, the wind lightens, leading to a period of slow, light-air sailing.21:43
