    Here are some tips: 1) Never assume crew can deal with the seas. Make them take sea sickness medicine (stugeron 15 MG pills is best but sometimes all you can find is 75 MG so split it) before you depart and regularly. 2) Only go down in the cabin for needs like head, water, food and make it quick...for the first 3 days. Being down below is the worst place to be for sea sickness. Only let them stay down there when sleeping and make sure to tell them to keep their eyes closed the whole time. Lying on stomach helps. 3) When crew wakes up, have them come up immediately and sit down. They will puke soon and after that, nibble on hard boiled eggs and sip water. Make them take the helm. Helming makes the brain understand the boat is moving.
    Sea sickness is caused by 2 things: 1) fear/nervousness/anxiety. The more experienced the crew the less this is a problem unless they have a history of sickness. 2) The difference of the signals the brain is getting from the eyes and ears. When down below, everything is moving with the boat so it doesn't look like the boat is moving to the brain, but the ears on the other hand are screaming loudly that it is moving all over the place. On deck or in the cockpit it isn't as bad but still a problem for many. Here is how to bring those signals closer together but it has to be done at the very first sign of sickness. For me that is the watering of the mouth.
    Two methods but it can be summed up as riding the boat like a surf board, not a bull: 1) This is the easiest to master and it works well. Stand on the steps with arms resting on the deck. As the boat moves, let it move under you but keep the upper body still. If the bow rises, you lean forward, of the bow falls, lean backwards, if starboard rises, bend your right knee, if port rises, bend your left knee. 2) The sitting version. Sit up straight and swivel in the midsection. Keep that head still. Just think about letting the boat move under you, not you holding onto the boat and moving with it. These actions sometimes takes only a few minutes or up to 30 minutes to make it go away. Sometimes need to repeat on really rough scary weather often. Do not let it slide to sickness and then try, it will be too late.
    I used to get sick just looking at a picture of rough seas because I had been sick so much but was determined to beat it. I didn't get better until learning this trick above on how to ride a boat properly. Never been sick since. It took about a year of cruising to really get the fear of seasickness out of my mind, which was a big cause of my sickness.

      We want to say a big thank you for so kindly taking the time to write all of this out! Bryony is a Wilderness Medicine Specialist Nurse and it is GREAT to see other people sharing solid advice around the sailing community to help others manage seasickness, as it can absolutely be debilitating and a serious health risk if protracted and/or in hot environments (although it can also cause hyperthermia!).
      Bryony did do a lecture on it back in our Wilderness Medicine playlist if you're interested, but it sounds like you're very confident managing it for yourself, which is awesome. Hopefully others will read your comment as well and benefit, as it's a credit to you for sharing your knowledge. Fair winds to you! ⚓️😊

      This is one of the best summaries to deal with sea sickness I have ever read - just coming back from the reticence circle from a sail boat. Fresh air, helming and confidence in boat and crew are super important.

    • @seashepherds4959
      @seashepherds4959 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      If you can, pin this advice to the top of your page. Thank you for sharing your experience. Always lovely to have at least one member of the crew to be cheery while in a horrid state.

      @FranklinGray When we
      Go offshore a
      Scopoderm patch applied a day before departure is a prerequisite for all crew with no exceptions. We also carry the other various remedies in pill form. Severe sea sickness is no joke I have seen vessels abandon a passage and return to home base to offload incapacitated crew.

    Best Episode Yet! What excellent sailors you have both become and what a great team you are, your talents complement each other’s so well. The sea certainly looked ghastly for a good long time, I can only imagine how tired you both were having to hand helm for so many hours at a time. You are now definitely a Cutterbove the average sailing couple. Brilliant!

    • @CutterboveSailing
      @CutterboveSailing  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Neptune had a tantrum, but we handled it 🧜🏽‍♂️ And we are glad you can tell how ghastly the sea was, given the camera always makes waves look half the size that they actually are!

      7 months indeed! Although I'm not sure that many miles in that timeframe is advisable. We were pretty green when we started, so we wanted to really rack up the miles and experience before the crossing, but that took a toll and we both lost a lot of weight and probably didn't balance experience vs enjoyment as well as we would have if we had slowed down a bit. We are so very proud of ourselves, but we will be taking our time to enjoy places more now, between the bigger passages... and put the weight back on!

    Hi guys,
    Well done doing the canula for hydration…a suggestion… laying ahull with headsail backed would’ve stabilised the boat incredibly, to make tasks like that or simply going to the loo etc or just to have a break for a period before resuming…

    • @CutterboveSailing
      @CutterboveSailing  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi!
      Thank you 😊 That cannula was probably the greatest of my career to date!
      And yes, hoving to is always a great shout. We did consider hoving to for a stint as well to enable everyone to rest, but from a medical perspective wanted to push towards making up the miles to land incase we needed to manage a medical evacuation (I cannot tell you how little I was enjoying the thought of organising that 😅). In hindsight, we could have hove to *before* Paul got sick, as we were all so fatigued anyway that a better rest before the much bigger waves and chaos hit might have at least aided our mental status and how we felt dealing with it all! Although credit to Jacky, who seemed to be able to sleep no matter how rolly it got.
      Ah well, we live, we learn, and next time a "just in case" hove to and nap will absolutely be on the cards if we sense things might get rough later.
      I also appreciate that you recognise how hard going to the loo is in those conditions... that's an adventure in itself.

    New sub and sailing beginner here with just 1000sm... what is the reason you had to handstear sometimes? Whats the technical limitation the windvane is not able to handle galeforce winds?

    • @CutterboveSailing
      @CutterboveSailing  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Great question! We love our hydrovane and preach the benefits often (it succeeds when our autohelm gives up).
      One of the few downsides of it is that we have to balance our sail trim, rudder, and hydrovane together. That means that when the wind suddenly shifts or picks up/dips, things need to be rebalanced (reefing, shaking out reefs, helm adjustments, and hyrovane adjustments) to keep it working well. If there's a lot of variance, it can be quicker and easier just to hand helm instead. But as a rule it is fabulous, even in big seas.

    If you are outside and can see the horizon you don't usually get seasick because your eyes and inner ear (which senses motion) agree. If you are in the cabin however and your inner ear is still activating on the motion but there is no corresponding visual input you will get sick.

    • @CutterboveSailing
      @CutterboveSailing  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there! 😊 Unfortunately seasickness isn't always quite that simple, as there are also motion receptors in the joints, spine, and muscles, so for some people the eyes alone aren't enough to make or break seasickness. Absolutely, you are right that if you are able to tolerate being up on deck, looking at the horizon can help, but to what effectiveness depends on how much weight the other physiological elements carry, which varies between people. We get very jealous of people for whom visual management is enough 😄
      I (Bryony) cover this as part of my Wilderness Medicine specialty, and probably did a better job of explaining it in the Seasickness and Dehydration management lecture in our Wilderness Medicine playlist.

      We started off on a 10 day sailing adventure holiday with a Skipper in Scotland in 2021 where we helmed and developed some confidence in our first squalls, and then noticed we were the only people staying out in wet/stronger winds when dinghy sailing which was interesting. In May 2022 we sailed UK straight to Gib with a skipper on his boat with some heavy seas off Cape Finnisterre and then beating into 35kt winds to get through the Gib Straits. After that, we bought Rhythm and made sure to gradually keep venturing out in rougher seas and stronger winds over the 7ish months sailing from UK, across the Med and back, before the crossing. It was a short timeframe, but we had 7,000nm roughly on Rhythm before the crossing and over 10,000nm with all our sailing put together.
      We also got horrendously caught out in the Gib Straits en-route to the Canaries a few episodes back, partly due to human- error which will inevitably happen eventually with enough miles covered,, but also partly due to the hugely incorrect weather forecasting and a few equipment failures - we learned the hard way that Rhythm is a solid boat that will keep us safe even when things go wrong, which was very reassuring during the crossing.

      We went from Canaries (Gran Canaria), but due to the tropical storm had to run south-south-west down to below Cape Verde, before finally turning west. It was a long slog 😄
      It's hard to remember. We had pretty consistent gale force winds those final 2 weeks, and then when hand helming, it was because we were in the 40 knots range. The squalls mostly developed each evening and hit throughout the night, more frequently as we got closer to land. That final night was beautiful though... could have done with more of those!

    Those where ''narly seas', but that's life, they happen. We have unfortunately a lot of experience with seasickness even at smaller waves. People react differently. Sometimes ammending the course helps, but that's not always an option. As medicine make drowsy, we prefer eating Pickles, drinking Coffee with some salt and ginger. And me personal I like to eat fatty things like sausages.
    We turn to. Gingerbread/Ginger tea or even drawing fresh ginger in boiling water when its bad. Don't lay down inside but stay outside behind the wheel if possible. Do watch seasick people, as they do have a tendency of wanting to jump overboard. A drip does not fill the stomach, and throwing up on empty stomach can be very painful. Hence that would be the very last resort. Although its one way of dealing with this. All of your smiles at the LAND HO... priceless.

You can take light sunglasses and tape the sides of the glasses to force center vision, for some that helps. Many people say no coffee, But I am a chain drinker... and never seasick.

      That's a fair question. From a healthcare point of view, the onus was on pushing hard to cover the miles and get closer to land, in case we needed to organise a medical evacuation (and the forecast kept promising things would calm down ahead of us, although it never did 😄). We also weren't sure if Paul was purely seasick or if it was something else causing him to be so unwell, as he reported to never having felt sick before in rough seas, and symptoms first appeared before the seastate really picked up.
      A lot of the decision-making was ultimately from a medical perspective. But if there's no rush to get to land, then absolutely hoving to for a rest is a sensible choice!

      @michaellynch170 hello to Newfoundland.
      Being a sailor yourself, presumably, you're probably aware that waves on camera always look considerably smaller than in reality. Knowing this limitation, we worked hard to explain and further show the reality of the seastate to make it easy for viewers to piece together fully. For example, we showed the angles Rhythm took whilst surfing down them and the duration that would last - Rhythm is a 16.5t, long keeled vessel, excellently designed for offshore/heavy weather and very stable... she needs quite some seastate to be doing as she was. We also highlighted that we had persistent force 7-9 on the Beaufort Scale, which brings correlated rough/very rough/high seas, and breaking waves, which we also showed. Additionally, our previous Atlantic episodes discussed a fair few times the tropical storm that had formed up north - another factor involved.
      Two weeks of rough to high seas instead of typical rolling Atlantic swell, with additional unwell crew, is not unreasonable to be fatigued and mentally worn down by. We appreciate your concern, but won't be stopping sailing any time soon.
      Edit to add: if we were scared in those seas or not managing the boat, that would be different. But we weren't scared, and we handled Rhythm fine. We were just very fatigued (and being additionally accountable for round the clock medical care and monitoring was, for me, the result of only a handful of hours sleep over multiple days).
      I hope this helps to clarify things a bit. Fair winds to you.

    If you were on the fence about a monohull or a Cat. This should settle it. 😊

      We did say at some point "I wonder how different this would feel on a cat." We do, however, love a monohull *most* of the time 😄
