O que este vídeo aborda
Eight to nine days into a passage from San Francisco toward Hilo, the crew of 'Iwa reports multiple equipment failures, including a broken whisker pole, a blown-out mainsail clew, a damaged mast headlight, and a wobbly propeller shaft caused by a failing cutlass bearing.6:48 Despite these issues, the vessel maintains steady progress, with the crew managing solar power, fuel, and a structured watch bill consisting of four-hour shifts during the day and three-hour shifts at night.12:55 The crew utilizes a "bear cave" berth on the leeward side for sleeping and maintains a routine of light-wind sailing, occasionally deploying a spinnaker to improve speed.0:14 They note that the boat handles beam reaches well without excessive slamming.9:26 The passage includes a failed attempt to cook pasta using seawater, which resulted in an inedible meal.3:44 The crew remains approximately 1,000 miles from their destination, continuing to monitor the shaft wobble while limiting engine use to preserve the drivetrain.6:48
