This is day 13 of our Pacific crossing and we enter the convergent zone! It was dead calm for a while so we went for an epic swim at 15,000 ft deep. And then we hit some pretty bad weather, so we talk about all the steps we'd take to stay alive if our boat was actually sinking.
Oh yeah, I get trench foot so.... viewer discretion is advised!

    Haha great vlog again David. The tempo..the humor..the hair😅 how are your feet? Auww!!..But you probably already know😊 the old life raft failed miserably to deploy and inflate when your nemesis Katie and new crewmember Zoe did their 24/48h life raft survival test in last vlog of El Capitano Colin😅 Luckely he ordered and installed a new one. Curious how that would be..you 8 in a life raft..you wanna sleep and having the same underware for xxx days.😮😅😂🎉 (you understand just teasing you). Luckely there was no need for that..but always prepared!! as fellow German sailor Martin from M Jambo his ship sank suddenly when hitting a container probably in the middle of the South Atlantic. Luckily he was well prepared and a freigther was 20 hours nearbye. He told about it in his last vlog last week. Bravely forward and sail with todays wind..or at least try..au revoir🎉

    Don't leave the boat, because the chance of sinking both hulls is almost imposiable. Hitting a reef or capsizing is more likely to happen. The weight of the engines and generator will sink your boat. Large air bags in the engine areas would be better than a life raft.

    yeah that's kinda true! only reason we'd leave is bc of fire...and if it's literally about to go down you don't want to be so close you get sucked under. ive thought of keeping airbags aboard, but filling them up is the problem...im guessing that would need a huge gas air compressor with massive volume

    Maybe my math is wrong, but 30 liters is less than four liters per person, which might last a day or two. With all the satellite/comms gear that’s probably ok, but…shouldn’t there be a bit more of a cushion for weird scenarios where you’re floating in the rafts for a week?
