A large low pressure system comes my way as I sail solo from Hawaii to the Marshall Islands. Sailing alone on the Pacific Ocean gets interesting when big waves and 30+ knot winds approach.
Hi, I’m Markus Pukonen and this is my Adventure Travel Vlog Series. I am travelling around the planet without ever using motorized transport. I started this journey in Toronto, Canada in July of 2015 and intend to circumnavigate back to where I started.
In this weekly youtube series (Every Sunday at 4PM EST) I will share my day to day experiences of what it’s like to travel around the earth under my own power (with help from some wind and currents too!). Loads of epic adventure videos I’m happy to share with you.

GREAT job portraying the constant motion and ever-vigilant sailor's life aboard a Passage. Glad you have the vital safety equipment of a harness ... and a sense of humor!

I was told that harness was a chest harness not a waste one. Oops. Haha.

Hi Marcus, I have watched several of your videos. I am very impressed by the fact that you have stepped away from the grind of everyday life to pursue this incredible adventure. Very few people have the courage to step away from perceived financial/personal securitu. You are living your dream and bringing others along with you. Best regards. AL. Vancouver.

Looks like you're surfing those waves Markus. Good times. Even though we know you made it, it's quite the nail-biter from the safety of our computers.

Love the channel, great scenery. Nice mental escape. Rest/sleep when you can. Wonder if a hammock would help when rocking. Meal preparation always helpful, how to keep things fresh and healthy, not rely on premade items.

The owner of the boat always thought about getting one rigged up but I don't think it would be comfortable for me in such a small space. I'm not a fan of sleeping in them unless they are giant and I can almost lie flat. I did just buy one for a new old boat but it's main purpose is for a lee cloth....Cheers to growing sprouts!

Just an idea for the wind vane snaking problem, which I have no idea if it will work, since I've never really sailed before: If you have steering rope left, try moving the pulleys (if thats whaat theiyre called) a little more to the front of the boat, and attach the cables more at the end of the rudder stick. That way, the same cable movement would cause gentler action on the rudder and maybe less snake movement. :) Also, love your videos, and good luck on future voyages

@Routesofchange 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks Simon, I don't think the windvane is the issue. It's just the way it is with a small boat on a run in waves like this. I will keep it in mind though. Thanks!

@stephenburnage7687 8 ай бұрын

I changed my lines from road to wire. And added turnbuckles to both wires, so they can be tensioned. Increases responsiveness and therefore reduces snaking.

@craigcampbell7460 4 жыл бұрын

you appear to be wearing a chest harness upside down. OR is that a climbing harness? What is your rational for that approach?

@Routesofchange 4 жыл бұрын

It's a climbing harness. No rationale for this approach besides it being the only harness on board. This isn't my boat. I've used the Mustang chest harness/pfd before and it's definitely the better way to go. More important to me is having your clip in lines positioned on your boat so there is never a need to unclip while on deck. That action never felt safe and wasted precious time for dealing with boat issues, while also distracting me from the ocean. Cheers!
