This was awesome. I'm incredibly impressed by how laid-back you were considering you lost all power for the majority of the crossing. Any of the famous youtube sailing channels out there would have used that for clickbait and turned the whole thing into major drama. Exactly how did you maintain navigation? Was it just the handheld GPS unit and something like Navionics? I'm assuming you must have carried extra charged batteries. I sail out of SF, haven't done any major crossings yet, but when I do I hope it's with a couple of crew members like you guys. Cheers.

Sparky, thanks for the kind words. We did not have much other option other than hanging in there for the long haul. We had numerous handheld gps options as well as the other electronics with gps data. The two 100W solar panels kept our batteries charged the whole way.

Great trip, thanks. This is one of my favorite boats. Great bang for the buck. You could have drawn from the clean Gerry jug? Good of Perkins 4-108. I have had 2 boats that had old Perkins. A 4-154 and a 4-236. Both great engines. You made good time. Very nice, thanks.

We had tried to pull form many of the other jugs, as well as the clear jug. We ultimately had sal crystals contaminating the high pressure injector pump so we were never successful. Had the pump rebuilt, but the saltwater caused more damage. Boat now has a yanmar.

Hey I saw this boat for sale in an earlier video. Recognized it by the placement of the emergency raft on the rail. New owners? Or previous owners. Is the 36 an S&S design? Always liked the profile of this boat. Wonder What finally solved the engine problem? I'm guessing the engine issue is a plugged cooling water manifold.

Great video. I hope to do this round-trip in the next few years out of Alameda. How did you get back into Monterey without an engine? Did you call TowBoatUS? Or are you just awesome at sailing into a slip (#goals)?

Hi Austin! Q from another I36 owner: While her cabin trunk is all "Islander 36", the cabin layout is more "Islander 36 Freeport"...? What's the story behind that, do you know? Have any pictures online? Thanks, great video!!! :)

Great video!!! Please do me a favor in all future videos though, whenever intentionally leaving the boat to dive or jump in the water and the boat is under sail power, please tie a lifeline around you and attach it to a secure place on the boat. Yes, you did have someone else on board. I understand that fully but do you realize just how difficult it would be to circle about on sail power while keeping his eye on you to retrieve you? Please don't do that again.

I agree and would add, please clip in anytime you leave the cockpit to go up on deck. Day or night.

Saltwater had already contaminated the high pressure pump as well as the injectors. All were toasted.

Fuel filler O-ring..blah.....water separator would have caught that, but you have managed....but next time maybe a small hand pump where you could by pass the tank with a yellow 5 gal can....and run the engine just to keep things charged.

We tried running from a fresh 5 gallon jug. Saltwater had already taken its toll on the high pressure pump and injectors. Had a water separator too but it wasn’t enough.

Set off across the ocean and did not even bring a spare filter. This is why Californians should not be allowed to vote.
