The sailor relies on dead reckoning for daily navigation but uses the sun sight to confirm their course while avoiding a developing low-pressure system.4:24:25 After receiving a satellite message, the sailor deploys a United Nations World Climate Research Program weather buoy, ensuring the magnet is removed to activate the device.4:40:52 The sailor analyzes weather data to plot the movement of a low-pressure system, predicting 40-knot gusts and 5-meter seas.4:52:42 To maintain a favorable position, the sailor plans to route the boat on the west side of the system to utilize following winds rather than bashing into the weather.3:47:11 The sailor also notes minor water ingress through aging hatch seals and plans to apply grease to improve the seal.5:54:09
