Aboard *Sea Change*, a 1989 model, a solo circumnavigation between 2019 and 2025 involved extensive trade-wind sailing and eight forced upwind beats, including a 1,000-mile Fiji-to-New Zealand passage where the jib tore in a squall.ver The crew of *Sea Change* adopted unconventional practices, such as eschewing AIS transmission to save power, collecting rainwater instead of using a watermaker, and rarely wearing harnesses or life jackets.0:04 The boat was prepared for heavy weather by securing deck gear, installing a Jordan Series Drogue, and rigging a lee cloth.9:54 Navigation in areas like Pancake Creek, Queensland, required strict adherence to channel markers due to sandbars and shallow water.3:12 The boat’s ICOM AIS unit was used to monitor nearby vessels, such as the oil tanker *Maran Athena*.14:29
