Pacific Crossing (Part 2) - Tackling A Sailor’s Rigging Nightmare Far Out At Sea - Ep. 68 TS

A SAILOR'S NIGHTMARE becomes reality. Our BACK SHROUD SNAPS, in the MIDDLE OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN. Part 2 Of Our Pacific Crossing From West To East - 4400 Nautical Miles Against Winds And Currents Where are we? Out at sea. Alone. No islands, no help around. We need to tackle this alone. Rough seas, someone has to go up in the mast tilting 4m from side to side. How do we solve this possibly life-threatening problem? Our rigging is our life insurance out here at sea. We face unfavorable winds & up to 3 knot currents, letting us sail circles for weeks being showered from above. Food is getting less & less, diesel almost empty. Then finally, an uninhabited island in sight...After 2 months at sea, accompanied by amazing wildlife encounters. Enjoy! Support us via: www.patreon.com/thulasailing www.thulasailing.de
