Assuming that the boat holds together after the beating it
has taken, and assuming the the doldrums are kind to her.

Having once been becalmed in the doldrums for 15 days I can only
hope that she finds some good winds in the equatorial
convergence zone. Sitting in the middle of an ocean, stinking
hot in a dead calm on the equater is not fun.
