A daily watch routine is detailed: cockpit washdown, full deck inspection covering shrouds, forestay pins, vang-to-mast fitting, gooseneck, boom vang, pole lashings, anchor security, dan buoys, life raft hydrostatic release, and dinghy lashings.6:32 The crew catches a bonito on a trolling line mid-passage.3:12 With 150 miles remaining, the boat reaches under full main and genoa in 15 knots.8:34 The final approach to Jalpaesura arrives at dawn on approximately day 10.9:52 Light-air South Atlantic passages demand carrying sufficient fuel and an onboard bladder for mid-ocean replenishment.
