How to Slay the Seasickness Monster | Sailing Soulianis - Ep. 71
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 июл 2020
- This is it! We’re off to The Bahamas…or so we plan. After last minute provisioning, we leave Marathon and set sail to cross the Gulf Stream. Even though we’re making good time, beating to windward takes its toll, and we decide to call an audible. Fortunately, before Lauren loses her breakfast to the fishes, we figure out a new remedy for her seasickness.
Hope you enjoy!

Hey guys! Just FYI: This was filmed well before COVID-19 was an issue. We'll discuss the timing of our videos in our NEXT video! Thanks so much for watching!! Stay safe 💛 Lauren & Kirk
Sailing Soulianis with regards to the hurricane Isaiah now hope you guys are safe and out of the way
After the failed solar arch episode a year ago I saw you guys make a cameo in another sailing channel and the Bimini was installed at that time. So I'm guessing this footage is 14 months old. BTW, your season of traveling downriver from up north is one of my favorite sailing channel seasons. I like tropical island post card videos with babes in bikinis but I've lived and worked along the river (dry side of the levee) in New Orleans for a long time and have never gotten to see the Huck Finn perspective like you guys produced. Good job.
Before COVID-19? And not just "before," but "well before." Is that like going all the way back to February (2020). March maybe? How big a backlog of videos do you guys have?
It's all good guys, haha, RUclips is the only game in town for now!
Jeff Lovejoy pre the sailing piece they spent the summer up north in Michigan Wisconsin looking for houses etc. then left for Florida and spent a month or so getting the boat ready it’s best guess is likely October - November 2019 timeline. Or maybe the year before, Anyway it doesn’t really make a difference. They do a good job in these videos, It would be nice to have a live stream just to get an update where they are at, But I can understand if they don’t want to share their location.
When not underway, a simple toilet plunger works really well to temporarily seal a thruhull from the outside of the hull if your bottom paint is reasonably smooth and clean. This allows opening the thruhull up from the inside for maintenance and changing sensors without the inevitable geyser.
I was just wondering about that. Should have scrolled through first
Great tip
Great idea 😊
My log and temp sensor thruhull has a latch in it that closes when pulling out the sensor, that way water is not gushing in.

I have one major issue with this channel, the videos end too soon!!! Though I've never sailed, sailing is my "happy place" especially during the current times the world as the US is facing. Thank you for taking me along on your adventure. God speed and fair winds. ☀️⛵️🌊
I agree.....too short....
Underway playing Frank and Lauren snapping her fingers.........CLASSIC!!!
Singing to Sinatra while sailing!! Outstanding style !! I hope you are not in the Bahamas this week as the weather isn’t pleasant! Enjoy and sail on.
I've binge-watched all 71 episodes over the last two weeks... I'm gonna need another 71 ASAP! Great video production and I like the way you two tell your story to us, keep up the good work, and hope you two are safe and sound where ever you are!
9:50 onwards the Sinatra sequence is fantastic . . . . topped slightly by the moon and bridge later on. . . .
Hey. I've sailed a little. Decades ago I got to spend time sailing a 50 foot wooden double-ender named Gjoa, in Puget Sound. 1 captain and 10 novices. The 11 of us lived on the boat for a week. It was awesome. So I'd like to see more footage of actual sailing. Also I am a carpenter and a craftsman (and a teacher-- another story) and really enjoy seeing how things work and how you work on them. You guys are quick learners, and good with your hands.
And also too... I am using your videos to help inspire my girlfriend to plan adventures with me. We live 9-5, but take time for hiking, biking, kayaking whenever we can (and I love snow sports) and are looking to get a van, hit the road for various periods of time, and basically do what you're doing, only on land... aaand we are not techies (I'm a boomer, she's gen X) so no chance to do that long-term until retirement. Another point of inspiration is seeing how you work together to decide what you want, make the plans, and carry them out. So thanks for that.
Peace, and stay safe.
That bimini is looking 'dang spiffy'...good job indeed. Unsurprisingly, you learnt a valuable lesson on 'through-hulls' if they fail and the volume of water that comes in incredibly fast 😱
You are doing a service for people who fantasize about going sailing. Good job of showing the fun and the challenges.
As to the challenges, nobody, including the reputed "cast iron stomach" people are totally immune to motion sickness, but there are multiple things that are helpful in staving it off. As mentioned by a previous comment, ginger, especially in capsule form (health food store), is a good place to start. Other actions include eating a good meal with protein and absolutely no sugary foods or drinks (they give you a sugar "high" and then you tumble into a sugar "low" and that's when you start to get sick). Whole fruit is good. Sort of nature's timed release sugar, since you don't get the sugar until you digest the pulp. Get a good night's sleep. If you are tired, you are more likely to get sick.
I run a participatory sailing charter business, and if people have teenagers, I ask them to not wake their kids up. Let the sleep until they are ready to get up, and go sailing in the afternoon.
Medications tend to make you either sleepy or goofy or both, so, if you have a real problem, there are two kinds of electronic motion sickness wrist bands: one gives you a constant electrical pulse to your ulnar nerves in your wrist; the other has an adjustable pulse, and even if you start to feel ill, you can increase the frequency of the pulse and stop the process.
I had a client who loved to sail, but had such severe motion sickness that he couldn't even ride in a car unless he was driving. He lived in Idaho, and sent me an e-mail about buying two of them for him and his wife. To test it out, they rented a small motor home and drove up into the mountains on switchback roads. He let his wife drive while he went into the back of the RV and he wrapped his legs over the bed, hung upside down and read a book, and did not ever feel even whoozie. Changed his life.
Happy adventures!
Thanks for another great video. I am always so thankful that I have never been seasick on our boat.
- Melissa from Portland OR
Of all the sailing channels I watch, I like yours the best! Thanks for sharing your lives with me!
Our pleasure!
OMG. You are sailors and love big band! Could my love for your adventure get any bigger!
That was great! So sorry you weren't feeling well. That can really put a damper on such an exciting day... I'm with you - can't get enough Frank. I played in a local dance big band and we played a lot of it and the only thing better than listening to it is playing it :) I'm so excited for your trip. I hope you are safe from the current storm heading up. I bet you will be feeling it in the next day or so. Stay safe and safe travels! F
Woah, small world here on youtube. As a subscriber to both of your channels, I would have never guessed that you were also a Soulianis fan. Enjoy!
@@gvnvehco How cool is that?? Lauren and Kirk are just a joy to watch. I wish them all the best! F p.s. love sailing :)
I see Franny already commented. This is Heidi. I get car sick, air sick, and sea sick. Yes, you have to take the meds before you get sick. However, the side effects make me VERY (B), well, let's not go there. Anyhow, I recently found these wrist bands (well,I just bought one for 100 dollars), that help with any nausea. I am not sure if they work. I need to test on a windy Colorado road. It's something to try. My understanding is that it can help, even if you are already sick. Also, I have ginger chews in my purse for immediate relief. Works great. Heidi
I love this vlog. I drive my wife crazy with sailing vlogs and Frank Sinatra, and now i have this one with both at the same time. Haha. Seriously though we do love them both. I listen to Sinatra when I'm at work on my forklift, and watch your vlogs on my lunch breaks. You two can be my pi-rat pack.....sorry.....
I carry all sizes of Flex Tape aboard. You can dive on the hull, scrape the area around the thru hull, then apply tape. It can be applied from underwater. Just another method of no geyser. Don't forget to go back and remove the tape tho. This tape can be used for sudden leaks inside or outside of your boat. I'd suggest if a big leak to put tape on both inside and outside of the hull till you can get in for repairs. This can be done while en-route to somewhere in the sea. Just make sure if your solo you are attached to your boat.
“Ideal” and sailing go hand-in-hand! It seems like the ideal life to me even when your plans go awry, you’re still sailing and a bad day sailing is better than the best day working.
True!
Unless your bad day of sailing involves sinking, pirates, fire, falling overboard.. then i think I'll take bad day at work
Dan G I suppose. But, so long as you’re smart about the risks you take none of terrible things will happen. Also, I’d welcome the risk in exchange. Work, even work you generally enjoy will eventually become drudgery. Yes there danger on the sea and terrible things can happen. But at least it’s not dragging oneself through life one day at a time one step closer to death.
That was an awesome little sail! Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful photography in the video, especially as you passed under the bridge! Luv-it and keep them coming! 😊 J & D
Lauren, like me, you were born in the wrong era! Although, Frank is always in style! A classic is a classic! You can't say that about todays music! Also, when I was in the Navy they used to put out a very plain milk cracker with no salt or seasoning on it at all. The thought was that these crackers would absorb the liquids in your stomach and keep it from sloshing around and in turn you from getting sick. We used to use Nabisco's Lunch Crackers in the purple/maroonish box and believe it or not they work. If you see them maybe give them a try. Good luck!
Pretzels are my go-to when I'm feeling it, probably has close to the same effect!
Love the shot going under the bridge with the mast and the moon. Very nice! Great episode.
Imagine my surprise when I looked up and saw a Tartan logo on your mainsail! I have one of those! Yes, I have a 2001 T3500. I love her! I trust yours is serving you well, keeping you safe, confident, and relaxed, and being beautiful in the process. I'll have to search your videos to see more of her! Have fun!
The bimini looks great! It was so nice to hear that Lauren enjoys big band music and Sinatra, thanks for including that in this segment. Great cinematography, tight shots of deck fittings and the like as you made this passage. Looking forward to the video addressing the impact of COVID 19 on your lives.
Listening to Frank is a great remedy. Listening to Kirk murder his song is enough to make Frank turn over in his grave. Please Kirk, let Lauren take over!! Hahaha. Great vid but sorry to hear of the the sea sickness issue. Fair winds my favourite friends.
Yay!! You are away. Can't wait to follow the new adventures.
I love your pure sailing episodes! It totally reinvigorates my love for sailing. We had a trip to the BVIs that got canceled and now I am just jonesing for some water time. I can’t wait to get back behind the wheel. Thanks guys.
I bounce back and forth between sailing channels. Sailing into freedom and you two are my absolute favorites!
The music today your smiles. Than for sharing your small piece of heaven.
That explosion of water was priceless! Glad you were prepared with the replacement part!
Way to go guys....great teamwork!
Sailing is so mental. We found that our best plans were hard to execute on a daily basis. Pick the most comfortable ride that gets you in the direction you need and then enjoy the ride. Your Tartan will get you there!
Totally agree. If you want keep sailing for the long haul, you can't run yourself ragged.
Glad to see you guys sailing,social distancing at home Saturday night.
Lauren you made perfect sense to me!
You guys are doing a great job! Proud of you!
I really enjoyed this episode... Thank You!
No worries, all sailing channels are about 6 months behind real time. I realize it is a lot to sail, maintain the boat, film and edit videos; especially for two people. Congratulations on the crossing, I hope you enjoying your dreams. Stay safe.
The Bimini looks fantastic! Well done! And I love singing to Sinatra to take your mind odd seasickness! ❤️⛵️
i love you guys so much!!! this has been my fav sailing channel by farrr
Thanks for watching Kevin!
Love the videos guys. I moved down to Savannah, Ga area just to be in warm weather. I was living in IL. for 4 years and miss it somewhat until I remember I no longer need a snow shovel. And I'm on deep water. Nothing like smelling the salt air in the AM...
The Bimini looks fantastic! I like the details and color choices.
You two are still doing a great quality job. I love watching. Got lost for a while but you have given us some clues about your time table. Just keep us posted and don’t stop your regular job. Who knows you may even fine new jobs as you move along. I spent three months in the Bahamas.
Your videos are mesmerizing. I love to follow along.
always enjoy your videos and every time a notification of a new release pops up, it makes me smile. Stay safe and stay happy.
Awesome to hear Captain Huey! Thanks for watching :)
Another episode that you guys have taken me on. I'm also thrilled how the two of you show your love for each other. I lost my other half 25 years ago. We and the family enjoyed many hours of boating in the Calif. delta. I also enjoy how boating (sailing or power) can be moments of pleasure interrupted by hours of angony. tsk tsk. I'll be back with you on your next sail. Thanks
Watched every video from the beginning. So cool to see how far you two have come! Can't wait to see more!
🧡
Glad your out sailing again.
Loved your vid and your taste in music. Keep it up.
Be careful from Hurricane season...love the music & the sunset mood 👌🏼👌🏼👏👏
Going south, in a leaky boat! So brave you are. A ton of groceries, and a hole needing repair. I was great watching you guys fix and continue SOUTH. All those years, months, days of work and now you are ready to leave to explore the world. I believe I envy you. Its has been great following you from buying this boat creating the dream and through everything continue to follow that dream. All the best you guys. I am out of sequence with this responds, Ha, fool me, Aye! Sail on sailor!
Wow finally! Sailing! Most sailing youtubers are not sailing now. Great to see a great day on the water. Thanks for taking me along guys. See you next time.
love the music choice
Lmmfao underway shift wallets enjoy friends be safe sail free and enjoy
Did the same thing once, taking refuge for the night in No Name Bay. Wind went calm. Had to seal every door jam and port with duct tape to keep the mosquitoes out. In the morning the deck was black with dead insects. I hope you had a better experience!
We have to pull the boat sensors on our boat. Glad you guys showed how it’s done
40 years ago I was on the USS Denver and I was a sea sick jarhead.i ate nothing but hydroxies which is a cheep Oreo.its the only thing that didn't make me sick.thank God for the short term service aboard a ship. I believe it's a fire training vessel at San Diego.
Y’all guys are great!
Great content. I like your channel and Sailing Into Freedoms channel. Makes me wanna start sailing
Hi guys,nice to see you finally on your way off shore to another shore.Getting your sea legs back can be a struggle,glad to see that with a little distraction,you did fine,and what better way than with some Frank.Best wishes 🙂
Enjoying your videos and your coffee mug (I bought one). Yeah, I like coffee too!
Great Video guys. My Yacht, an Adams 38, is currently in shake down mode before I work my way up the East Coast of Australia. Soooo much to do to get her ready, but coming along very nicely. I'm a happy little vegemite 😊😊😊
great video guys! Stay safe out there
The silver fabric for the Bimini was spot on. Initially I had my doubts changing from the dodger color but you pulled it off! Ready for a lot of new episodes!
Why thank you! ;D
Couldn't be cooler...sailing and singing Sinatra!!
Excellent - Chairman of the Board's on Soulianis! Well done. :-)
Bimini does look very nice, good job!!
Leatherback turtle!!! What an amazing sighting! Growing up in Florida I only got to see one in the wild a single time and it was from much further away. Love your videos and can't wait until next week!
Thanks for the species ID!
Soulianis is looking great and what a great job on the bimini..take care and stay safe folks :)
Cheers John :)
Love the quack haha. I hate those crab pots too!
Great video! Fair winds! When you see the turtles you never wonder why you sail. For sea sickness there are disks with a dermal patch in them you can put behind your ear. They seem to work for most or at least take the edge off them.
Nice ride, guys !!!
Lovely shots!
Well done
Refreshing to see you youngsters appreciating Frank and the gang 🥳👍🥳👍. Bahamas gonna be awesome ... Next, learn to free dive and spear some dinner 👍
Happy to see you got the bimini complete! I remember that time in Alabama you tried getting it done... lol
Nice job on the bimini... I get the light colour on the bottom now... Superb fluking skills too...
..... laughing ..... no messing around when you go provisioning .... you weren't kidding when pondering if it would all fit in the dinghy .... gotta ask, did you have to move the boot stripe .. smilin ... thx for sharing .... as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....
That bimini is AWESOME! Great job! Mad skillz!
Thank you, thank you!
Been there, we anchored around there and another favorite was Rodriquez Key. Sometimes we would leave in the night thus letting us be at Cat Key or wherever we planned to check in early in the day. Also, plan on using your danforth anchor a lot because the bottom is often rock and no sand so check carefully when hooking up. Good luck, have fun and be safe!!
Great video
The reflective tape on the stantions is a neat idea!
Ya that was actually something we originally used for our trip down the rivers, to make sure the tows would see us. We never took it off - good for fishing boats too speeding around at night.
So impressed that you know Sinatra... I discovered him in high school too (I’m a lot older than you, but Frank was still alive but wasn’t performing anymore) and all the others - Deano, Bobby Darin, all of them... man, they are so good.
Dean Martin is my other favorite :) -L
Y’all are a blast. 👍🐬
The footage/music at 13:00 was awesome. Great videography work, you guys!
Thanks so much!
Ahh just saw your comment below!! Great video, water looked phenomenal.
Poor Lauren. She's tough though, still functioning. I used to co-drive, reading the stage notes, in car rallies. Normally I'd be fine. But sometimes nausea bites. There's nothing worse. I'd be half-dead, head in a bag, unable to do anything useful. This 2-day rally started with torrential rains, high heat, and brutal humidity. We had to run with the heat and blower fan on high just to keep the windows from fogging up. That did me in. Day-2, although still muddy, was way more fun, until the car caught fire on the very last stage. The battery shorted out and lit the battery cables on fire. We lost 8 minutes putting the fire out. Martin tied the melted cables back together and clamped the knots tight with a pair of vice-grips. Car started right up again and we somehow finished 3rd on the two-wheel-drive podium. Fun stuff, eh?

Great video! Particularly liked the singing. I often enjoy Dino’s “Amore” while de-rigging after regattas.
I'm sure you've heard this many times, but a big help for seasickness is to immediately take the helm. Then concentrate on fixing your eyes on the horizon, not the waves or the boat. Sail on guys!
Very good recommendation...always works for me 👍
That and a shot of whiskey.
And a piece of hard candy?
Such a good recommendation but so easily forgotten when the seasickness has set in but I will definitely have to remember this one
Love me some Rat Pack music! Especially fitting when sailing with the Chicago skyline in the horizon!
I know this is too little too late, but Long Key Bight, at the SE end of the Channel 5 bridge, is a perfect anchorage in most any conditions. Good on you, Droopy Dog, for not pushing Lauren too hard. Theres no need to rush.
Great video guys. I've been following y'all for a while. Started following when I saw you make the journey through Alabama. It's where I call home. Roll Tide!! Really hated to see the JACKASS you encountered in Mobile with your Solar Panel Rack. We are not all like that and hope you don't have that impression for the rest of the state. Seeing you sing Sinatra to get through the sea sickness was just a hoot!! The two of you are a really great fun loving couple and would seem to be such a joy to spend time with. Keep these wonderful videos coming and enjoy time with your sister in the Bahamas!!
Amazing photography. I like also geography reference. Great job.
Any good GIANT SEA TURTLE RECIPES FOR ALONG THE WAY?
Awesome guys !!!!
Keep them coming!!
Love your videos.
Hey guys, Jim n Matt here. That was a crazy good video - like one of your best. We seriously dig what you’re doing. Well, except for Kirk’s $60 dollar liquor bill..... that was funny (and not enough).....😅. Anyway, great job and hopefully we’ll see you out there.
I used to open the hatch above my head when I would do that.. Then I replaced my electronics and got a thru hull that had a gate in it that held up the water. Always an adventure!
I had a colonoscopy to Sinatra and Dean Martin. A no anesthetic colonoscopy is a few cramps, a lotta laughs and thanks to my doctor's taste, great music - that you're awake to enjoy; and you can drive yourself home. Compared to sea sickness, it's a stroll down a beach...but with your pants off and a camera up yer keister. Good videos, (Yours not mine). Thanks.
I think a general rule for any hole in the bottom of your boat is that water will try its best to squirt up to sea level. I've heard sailors talk about how much water can pour in through a specific size hole, etc... Makes you want to go out and buy two of the biggest pumps you can find. Fair winds.
😂
relaxing just hearing the water
Exactly my reaction every time I tried that, I pull out the old and then laugh as I watch the water cascade in. Safe journeys.
A toilet plunger outside works a treat.
@@hymanocohann2698 also on the holding tank thru hull! 😎
And so your adventure begins!
That gasp immediately after pulling that plug made me laugh out loud!
You guys just got cooler with the Sinatra footage and earned a like from me. I already thought you all do a fine job, but this vid kicked it up one more notch ;-)
you guys slayed that bimini well done.
The "barrel" that you insert the water log into usually has a small flapper valve which limits the flow of water into your boat when you pull it while still in the water. I wrap a towel around the base and catch nearly all of the water when I pull it to clean it. Of course you have to have the plug ready to go! I broke my last paddle wheel and found out you can buy just the replacement paddle and pin. Running new wire to your cockpit instrument is a multiple-hell job so just changing the paddle wheel is an attractive option.
