Meaning of そのすきに
[隙]{すき} usually refers to a gap for someone to take advantage of. Unlike
[隙間]{すきま}, it is rarely used to mean a gap in space. In this particular
context, it refers to some gap period during which something was not done, for
example, someone was not paying attention to something when they were supposed
to be. To understand what exactly その refers to, we would need to know what was
said before that line.
