Wow when u went swimming it's so beautiful I could cry. That water is the most beautiful sapphire blue 🔵 when u look down u can see nothing but blue. The visibility is crazy. There was nothing around no whales or fish not even a shrimp lol nothing. What an experience I hope to do this one day. I first saw a group of girls who rowed from San Francisco to Honolulu this summer & I followed their social media post the entire journey whenever they could post. & They swam in the same sapphire blue water you did. I've been interested in boating trips to Hawaii from California every since lol now I can't get enough watching these videos

Your goal of circumnavigation should have begun with your own sailboat rather than hitching rides from sailors. Although it is common for sailors to seek volunteer deck mates for longer passages, it's also common to set them ashore at the first opportunity if they fail to hold up their end, are poor company or for any reason whatsoever. A 30 foot boat requires total comparability and teamwork not often experienced anywhere else. Even loving marriages sometimes go south after long passages as well as boats "for sale" in far-away destinations. I did enjoy the very informative video. Thanks for posting it.

@Routesofchange 3 жыл бұрын

My goal of circumnavigation started in a borrowed canoe. I was far from having a sailboat of my own.

@@Routesofchange Yes, that was, and is, very ambitious of you and brave. I think you'd be surprised how many guys have crossed big oceans with very modest boats, some of them homebuilt and others auction wrecks... There are sea-gypsies even now, scattered all over the world and living on very little and seeing the world too. The main requirement is courage (which you already have) and an old boat (which you can get.) Then it'll be your turn to maroon some disagreeable deck-hand. "Get Real, Get Gone," is a book you might find interesting. I did. Bon Voyage and we'll hope to see you sometime where the sun sets and leaves a shimmering, golden path to follow. You've seen it yourself.

@@Pulaco.Dimantag Lots of folks have circumnavigate on next to nothing starting with Joshua Slocum in the 19th century. He was dirt-poor and found his vessel lying, abandoned in a field. He salvaged it, renamed it "The Soray" and sailed away. In modern times, a young teenager, Robin Graham, became the youngest, single-hander to circumnavigate in a 23' boat. The list goes on and today we have many folks continuing to live and sail on limited means. It does require some means, passports, visas, entry fees and such but the world is still open to intrepid wanderers and they are out there now.

I'm a Maine lobsterman a 6th generation lobsterman to be exact, I just wanted to comment on the bananas being bad luck this is taken seriously by most Maine salts other superstitions are you are never allowed to whistle on a boat Also bad luck, you can never use the word pig 🐖 hog, pork or any word to describe a pig another one is that it is considered really bad luck to paint your boat blue 🔵 and never change a boats name if you buy one used, keep the name it has. On a lighter note it's considered really good luck to get pooped on by a seagull or any other type of sea bird. And if you ever catch lump fish in your trap you have to kiss it before you throw it back 😜 I'm not ashamed to say i have kissed many o lump fish! Anyway cool videos 👍 and safe travels guys!

If you think about it, it seems he just met Dave, sailed with him, and then rented the boat from Dave for solo sailing. Also, if he started in Canada and departed in this boat with Dave from California, how would he have got to California if he was already a continent away. I'm not sure why he posted it so late but that seems to make sense.

Very few people watched the original vlogs from this sail (sub 10k). I combined them into one video so that all the folks who didn't know this sail existed can watch it. It has worked...Sorry for the confusion.

The broad reach is the most comfortable point of sail.

Many people think that but realize how much tougher it can be than what they imagined. Videos never do it justice.

Hello, Mr Dave. The quiet cutie @0:57! I'd crew with him anytime. Dave is a "knock out" even when getting knocked out @7:50. Lol. Where is the footage of Dave taking a shower @19:29? Purely educational. 🧼👀☺️😍💋 _(Okay, that's enough about Dave. If I go much more I might sound like a stalker. Lol)_

You seem adventurous, outgoing, friendly...projecting and living a good life. Unfortunately, you forgot to assess Dave's issues and guest adaptability? Why he couldn't cope, and continue to support your travel mission...hmm...maybe he needed to be more included in this video? (but you guys were on different shifts, mostly...) IDK...find a ride on the next sailboat. Thank you for being entertaining...and I learned alot!
