Hva denne videoen dekker

A family crew aboard Big Lost departs Panama in a weather window after weeks of waiting on visas and provisioning, bound for the Galapagos Islands — 927 nautical miles that take five days and 17.5 hours.▶ 12:09 Leaving Panama in good wind with the spinnaker up, they hit the doldrums near the equator, where wind disappears and the boat stalls in a blue, calm patch visible on their routing model.▶ 2:13 Rather than motor through, they work the current and position the boat to pick up wind pushing up from the equator, gaining an extra knot or two on a beam reach toward the Galapagos.▶ 2:52 Mid-passage, the continuous furling line on the Code 55 breaks; with no end to splice, they improvise a repair to furl the sail and slow the boat.▶ 4:35 The fishing reel also loses two lines to a hard run before the crew lands two yellowfin tuna, filling the freezer.▶ 7:39 The crew performs a Neptune crossing ceremony at the equator.▶ 8:42 On arrival at the Galapagos, Customs and Immigration board the vessel at 10 a.m. for inspection and biosecurity clearance.▶ 12:27 Routing around the doldrums by reading current and model wind rather than fighting the calm saves both time and wear on the boat.
