Sailing Hardcore - Life in ROUGH SEAS! (Pacific Crossing Part 2 of 8) S.V. Delos Ep. 417 (Patreon)

We’re back with part 2 of our 3,000 nautical mile trip across the Pacific Ocean. This one’s got a bit of everything. We bash our way through one of the roughest nights we’ve had in YEARS.  When we're going hard upwind the bow really smashes up and down. Sierra was copping the worst of it in her room up front, so for the first time in her nearly 4 years of living on Delos we had to take her into our room in the back to sleep.

But as we round Cabo San Lucas and make more miles out into the open ocean, things start to settle, and by day 4 the wind clocks all the way around and we're able to set up the poles and get ready for some glorious downwind bliss.

The worst of it was behind us (at least for now, our final stretch coming into Marquesas was pretty tough too) and now we could kick back and the let the breeze at our backs push us along for days and days and days.

We hope you enjoy this one.  I think it captures some of the realities of sailing...the ups and downs in moods and energies.  How every aspect of daily life on passage is so drastically affected by the weather and conditions.  

Big hugs from our little family on this beautiful Friday 💕

Brian, Kazza, & Sierra
