O que este vídeo aborda
Brett and Jade Evans, with guest Ayana, navigate days 12 and 13 of an offshore passage through persistent squall activity, tracking storms on radar and dodging them without altering course.▶ 3:09 Boats that departed earlier reported squalls exceeding 60 knots; the crew's own squalls brought 29–30 knots of wind and heavy rain, with multiple sail changes through the night — reefing, furling, and unfurling — leaving all three crew sleep-deprived.▶ 0:06 A makeshift whisker pole holds the headsail out to reduce collapsing and popping on a downwind run.▶ 2:08 A 1,047-foot, 44-foot-draft cargo ship doing 17–18 knots bears down directly on the boat; the crew switches on all lights — cockpit, deck, mast, and motoring — to maximize visibility, and the ship passes astern.▶ 6:51 Sail configuration shifts between headsail and mainsail boomed out with a preventer as the crew tries to reduce rolling from two conflicting swell angles; at 13–14 knots of wind they make only 4–5 knots.▶ 21:26 Jade bakes sourdough in silicone pans without a full bulk ferment, then uses the bread for grilled cheese croutons in tomato soup.▶ 5:24 A mysterious unidentified light on the horizon at night triggers a crew alert and discussion of watch-keeping protocol.▶ 10:04 Running the mainsail alone does not reduce rolling as much as commenters had suggested.▶ 24:46
