The crew of Nandji - Frothlyfe sails across the Indian Ocean toward Rodrigues, Mauritius, on a 2,400-mile passage from Indonesia.0:17 Ten days into the voyage, the crew maintains a routine of two-hour watches while managing heavy trade winds and 3-to-4-meter seas.2:00 To stabilize the boat and reduce stern sliding in following seas, the crew deploys 50 to 60 meters of trailing line with a monkey fist knot, which improves the autopilot's performance and keeps the vessel on a consistent heading.15:55 Sail configuration typically involves a third reef in the mainsail paired with a staysail to balance the rig for downwind sailing.16:41 The vessel experiences intermittent issues with the generator, likely due to a blocked filter, and faces challenges with solar power production during cloudy weather.9:02 As the boat reaches 18 degrees south, the crew anticipates the wind shifting from easterly to southeasterly, facilitating a direct westerly course toward their destination.16:58
