A solo sailor aboard Nereida handles 20-knot winds and rough, rolling seas on passage from Fiji to Australia.0:05 At sunset, an unexpected rain squall forces a rush to fit the washboards, shake in a second reef, and rig the genoa on the pole for a wing-on-wing run — all completed in the dark with a headlamp.0:14 The pole had been pre-rigged in anticipation of needing it downwind, which proved critical when conditions deteriorated quickly.1:08 Overnight rain continued before clearing by morning, leaving cloudy skies and heavy swells still causing significant rolling.1:30 The passage illustrates the value of pre-positioning gear — pole already rigged, reefing lines ready — before conditions force a solo sailor to manage multiple tasks simultaneously at night.
