What challenges did Aleksey Nazarov face while sailing in rough weather conditions?

Based on the available content, there is no detailed public description of specific rough weather challenges I faced while sailing. What is shared is more high level: I once thought the open ocean was “scary, unforgiving, cold” and that it would make me seasick, and crossing the Pacific on a very fast 65 ft carbon-fiber boat (Gizmo) was something I “had no idea” I was getting into.

That implies:

1. Coping with fear of the open ocean and the unknown
2. Adapting to life offshore for about two months
3. Handling a very high‑performance, high‑tech boat as a non‑professional sailor

Are you curious more about the emotional side of those challenges, or the technical/seamanship side?
