A couple departing Punta Mita, Mexico, for a Pacific Ocean crossing encounters severe halyard chafe on their Code D sail during the first 24 hours of their passage.9:25 The halyard, which exits the mast through a metal plate, shows significant wear at the exit point and at the block.9:55 To resolve the issue while underway, the crew shortens the sail's torsion cable using spare clamps to increase the distance between the shackle and the mast, then reroutes the halyard to exit the mast externally.12:02 The co-host climbs the mast to complete the rerouting, utilizing a one-handed bowline knot to secure the line while managing motion in a rolling sea.20:11 The crew successfully eliminates the chafe, allowing them to fly the sail without further damage. The passage continues with the crew managing minor illness and observing dolphin pods.22:04
