Trim Sailing

Contrary to popular… most sailors get seasick from time to time ⛵️

We’ve been living aboard since 2013 and have logged more than 50,000 offshore nautical miles. Yes... we still get seasick sometimes.

Very few sailors are completely immune to seasickness. The difference isn’t just genetics (although they certainly play a role). It’s also passage planning, good tactics, and healthy choices.

Here are the five things that have made the biggest difference for us:

🌊 Understanding sea state and swell
💨 Picking the right weather window
😴 Looking after our bodies before departure
💊 Understanding when medication can help
⚓ Being patient while getting our sea legs back after a longer break

Now we’re curious...
What’s your best tip for managing seasickness?

Leave a comment. We’d love to hear what works for you.

In 2023, Alex sailed across the Pacific Ocean as a part of the plan to bring Trim back from US to Australia. He sailed solo from Panama to Fiji — over 6,500 nautical miles and 44 days at sea. 🌊⛵

From leaving the lights of Panama City behind, to crossing paths with whales, dolphins, penguins and seabirds in the middle of nowhere, this voyage was full of moments that felt unreal.

Some highlights:
• Galápagos Islands wildlife encounters
• Breathtaking landfall in Fatu Hiva, French Polynesia
• Catching lots of fish between on the way to Fiji
• Company of 30+ false killer whales
• Reunion with Agata in Savusavu

This delivery-style crossing came with compromises: staying apart and rushing through some of the most amazing places on the planet but it was all part of the plan to bring Trim back home.

Now we’re getting reading for the biggest voyage yet, this time together.
