What this video covers

During a five-day passage from New Zealand to Fiji, the crew of the 62-foot catamaran Parlay Revival encounters a 10-foot confused sea state with 30-knot gusts.0:35 Half of the eight-person crew suffers from severe seasickness, with symptoms persisting for approximately 15 hours for some members.0:44 To manage the motion, the crew utilizes Pāheā bombs and scopolamine patches.1:38 The rough conditions prevent mast work until the fourth day, when a crew member climbs to the second spreader to repair a chafed lazy jack line that failed due to an untensioned topping lift.8:39 The vessel maintains an average speed of 174 miles per day, eventually transitioning to light-air sailing with a Code D sail and motoring as winds die down.3:00 The crew successfully catches a mahi-mahi 500 miles offshore and performs a mid-ocean swim before arriving at the Minerva Reefs.17:36 Acclimatization to offshore motion and maintaining hydration are the primary strategies for overcoming initial seasickness.
