Qué cubre este vídeo

A 211-mile offshore passage from Georgetown to Fernandina, Florida, results in severe seasickness and significant water intrusion for a family crew.4:14 The decision to exit the inlet during peak current creates steep, breaking waves that wash over the bimini and dodger, soaking the boat’s interior and electronics through leaking deck hatches.15:39 Throughout the journey, the crew struggles with constant seasickness, managing multiple children in the cockpit, and maintaining the boat while hand-steering in tight, 8-to-9-foot swells.8:23 The autopilot performs reliably, but the crew relies on the engine to maintain speed and charge the house battery bank.18:42 The experience highlights the risks of timing inlet departures against tidal currents and the necessity of sealing deck hatches to prevent salt water damage.15:34 The crew concludes that the passage was their most difficult to date, noting that Canadian-brand Gravol for children proved more effective for seasickness than American-brand Dramamine.Watch
