    Ever notice how seasickness seems to evaporate away when you're scared and busy handling the boat? When non-sailors ask me if there's any cure for seasickness I tell them, "Yes. Terror." Well, that and sailing all the time. But sometimes it's not possible to sail on the ocean multiple times per week in order to keep your sealegs and you just have to tough it out. Another great video. I look forward to the next chapter in this saga.

    You always leave me impressed Erik! One thing- consider installing an Antal mainsheet track and slider system. I have one and it allows me to reef under load either upwind or downwind. Important when the main needs to come down quickly in big wind. Hope the next leg is less demanding.
