What this video covers
Learning By Doing departs Taumina Bay in the Togean Islands for a 140-mile passage toward the Lambar Straits region.0:17 The crew, including Vernon, Marie-Morgane, and their child Eli, begins the trip with depleted fuel, water, and food supplies.0:31 The first leg involves motoring through dead calm water against a current, followed by a transition to 23–24 knots of apparent wind on the nose.3:34 This creates short, sharp swells that force the crew to reef the mainsail twice to maintain comfort for the child below deck.3:48 The wind eventually shifts 80–90 degrees, allowing for a comfortable beam reach and a wing-on-wing configuration.5:30 During the night, the vessel navigates through a high density of unlit fish-attracting devices (FADs), which prevents the watch-stander from sleeping.7:24 The final leg of the journey turns into a downwind run, with speeds reaching 8–10 knots before the boat arrives at its destination in the rain.10:53
