hours before and both of us kept opening our eyes at each other, clearly not sleeping. \u00a0Our strategy for watch is below:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trevor 4 hours: 4-8pm<\/li>\n<li>Kimi 4 hours: 8-12am<\/li>\n<li>Trevor 3 hours: 12-3am<\/li>\n<li>Kimi 3 hours: 3-6am<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We took up our anchor and didn&#8217;t hit the fishing vessel who anchored 30 feet to our port side (left side). \u00a0Wind was super light and confused but we raised the sails anyways to keep us more balanced underway. \u00a0We kept the engine running because we weren&#8217;t moving under sail power alone and we needed to charge our batteries since our generator &#8220;blew up&#8221; the night before.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_385\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-385\" style=\"width:
