What this video covers
A GGR 2026 competitor broadcasts a live stream from roughly south of Lisbon on day 10 of the race, running on Yankee and Genoa only after deciding against swapping in the main during light, fluky conditions.5:31:55 Boat speed sits around 6.5 knots; the sailor notes that rounding Cape Finisterre cost 24 hours without sleep due to constant sail changes.1:50:02 The Remora Advanced Sealt Systems hydro generator ran overnight to offset power drawn by the live-streaming setup, keeping batteries at 13 volts.1:37:35 Weather fax reception has failed for several days despite earlier success, pushing the sailor toward SSB weather nets and printed forecasts supplied by shore team.1:38:48 The SSB itself appears to drop out when the live stream is active, complicating radio calls to nearby merchant vessels.3:50:09 Routing discussion covers the trade-off between an inside coastal track and a westward detour toward the Azores before turning north for the Bay of Biscay or English Channel.1:51:22 The sailor also describes anxiety over losing control of social media output to a shore team during the high-momentum opening week of the race, and mentions writing letters to be dropped at Lanzarote.2:45:08 A passing ship confirms wind is expected to build over the following two days.5:31:07
