A solo sailor mid-Pacific Ocean reports on managing a rudder failure, sail damage, and the adjustment of a cat to life at sea. During a period of high wind and heavy seas, the rudder locked to starboard after a cable detached from the quadrant.2:02 The sailor regained control by using a bucket as a makeshift drogue to steer the vessel.17:09 Simultaneously, two mainsail battens dislodged and a slug popped off the track.2:13 To prevent the boom from jibing in 10-knot winds and swell, the sailor rigged a preventer line from the boom to a cockpit cleat, though he notes the setup lacks sufficient range to push the boom fully outboard.8:36 For sustenance, the sailor relies on MREs and granola bars, as the boat's fridge remains unpowered to conserve electricity.13:03 He reports that his cat, Phoenix, adapted to the motion within two days and remains comfortable despite violent conditions.3:51 The sailor uses Starlink for connectivity during the passage.19:49
