Warren delivers his fourth Pacific crossing — a passage to Hawaii on a well-used catamaran — with a cascade of mechanical failures and a race to beat Hurricane Kiko to landfall. The mainsail traveler lost a car early in the passage; the added load on the next car caused it to fail too.▶ 1:34 Dropping the main revealed a large sail tear, repaired with sail tape while the crew stripped cars from the bottom of the traveler track and repositioned them at the top, leaving the sail in a permanently reefed configuration for the remainder of the trip.▶ 3:02 The starboard saildrive transmission began slipping and was found nearly empty of oil due to a leak, putting that engine out of service.▶ 6:37 Two full propane bottles ran out within days because oven knobs had been left cracked open, eliminating cooking for roughly the last ten days.▶ 7:00 Warren suspects low-level propane exposure in the cabin caused his four days of seasickness — the nausea resolved almost exactly when the propane ran out.▶ 7:33 The crew caught a sailfish offshore and motored through the doldrums in just over a day.▶ 8:34 They arrived at a protected anchorage in Hawaii with about 36 hours to spare before Kiko.▶ 15:30 Warren's post-arrival reflection: he was not sufficiently sympathetic to Erica's seasickness, and now intends to involve her more actively in boat systems to reduce passage anxiety.▶ 23:55
