Happy to be home :)

Glad to be back! Yea losing our canvassing was shitty, but it's better to lose that than anything structural.

Glad you enjoyed it :>.

Thanks :>, it's long yes, especially in fog. 51 days of South Pacific tropical weather would have been better :).

Yep, Pino carried us far, safely :>. Hope you find one! There's a few disused Yamahas in Port Sidney marina, would be nice to see them sailing again. They were there when we left 5 years ago, and are still sleeping in their slips. Happy to be back in Canada :).

Haha, we did complain a whole lot. I distinctly remember writing in our log that if the boat's batteries could be charged by our whining then we'd be set. I'm sure you could take it, making the decision to go is the hardest, cause you know it's gonna suck. But in this case, it was our only path home. Also, once you're out there you've got no choice but to keep going, there's no alternative (a trap of our own making). Even if we were miserable we sucked it up, sulked for a while, then a dolphin would come and suddenly a shit day ended up being the BEST day ever. It was the most wonderful and scariest thing we've ever done.

Glad like it :)

Yep, we're doing good :>. Things are quieter for us right now, waiting out the winter in Canada, and working at making Pino better. The last trip damaged a lot of items onboard. Glad you like the videos..

thx :)

Japan by sea is a completely different experience, hope you get to try the water route someday :)

And you're very kind for saying so :>...

@@HundredRabbits can you add your music to spotify? I love it so much

@@iamanangel9178 No, sorry. We're not fans of music as a service. Our music is never going to go on Spotify, but you can get it on Bandcamp, there's a link in the description.

Not stopping anywhere in-between these places wouldn't be very much fun, you'd miss so much.

Ouais, on s'est un peu pêté la gueule, mais on a eu du fun aussi :).

We're actually very terrible vloggers :), it is much easier for us to write about events than to film them.

Thx! Our plans? Wait till the rain stops? :P. Not sure, we'll spend the winter in Victoria, and hopefully in spring, we'll sail in BC waters.

Pino was like, "You're taking me WHERE?!" :), it kept us safe though, even if we put it through hell.

@@HundredRabbits Be sure and relate your adventure to Pacific Yachting. It speaks volumes to the seaworthiness of your Yami 33, a forgotten gem.

No stops. We were dead set on doing the Lin and Larry Pardey route. We wanted the experience. We have a heater, but didn't have the parts to service it in Japan, so we did without it. Anyway, it's a real battery-guzzler that thing, plus we weren't carrying an infinity of diesel. What would we change? We're happy with the boat on the whole, but not having the main sheet traveler right behind the companionway door would be nice. Maybe we'd add winches to the mast. And in a perfect, perfect world where big projects were easy and fun, there would be better floor access in the cabin, so many parts are molded and reaching underneath is impossible.

Wow! 9 passages, impressive! Wish we would have met you prior to leaving Japan :), could have used some of your wisdom then.

Oh yes. To sad your trip was not to okinawa,i done the Aleutian run twice was too nearly knocked down in midle of the night like a bulldozer raming the starboard side scaring the S,,,oh of me as i was single handed and down below, than on a running set up wind strong wind hudge slopes to sail down long long long swell,,,, yeah great fun first but scary tiresome ,previous passage was 2 years ago from chichi(started okinawa)to Port Angeles stay low on latitude all the way till passed the date line warm weather light winds very litle fog,,,and no humidity, at least u made it ,and a friend of mine run into whales crash at night south of the Aleutian lucky he had a aloy yacht but over 30.000$ repair needed after wards.so Aleutian is ok that course if u intend to visit them.

My fasted passage Tokyo to Port Angeles 6 years ago on a 65ft steel hull ,with free standing carbon rig,27 days ..... shes over 40 ton ,but my goodness what a boat,,,,great sailing even the owner cannot believe i made it that fast,,, but again not the Aleutian course. But i must say i used to take the strong winds starting in tokyo with a typhon. Coming up that gave me over 33 knts start winds ( shes 40 ton 65 ft ) people say in tokyo i am crazy ,i say why would u say that , am a true sailor those winds coming are favorable to the passages give me a push of one third of my passage that be big seas .i can handle it nothing scary at all.that was my most enjoyable passage ,with so lilte to do with that free standing rig that has a rotating mast too...

@@ThePatgilbert Thank you for your comments. I am worried about the many hazards of the Aleutians ... the fog, the weather, the swells, the fishing fleets, etc. I always wondered if there was a better way back to North America. Can you please tell me the best way to Japan from North America? I really like the idea of LA to Hawaii, then to the Marshall Islands ... Ogasawara, then to Shikoku. (Hundred Rabbits arrived at Ogasawara)

Our documentation has moved into text rather than video(online on a wiki), we update it almost everyday at: 100r.co I know it's different, but it's less bandwidth-intensive for us, we can rly go in-depth on topics that matter to us, and it doesn't lock the content to KZfaq. Glad to hear you'll start sailing! The sea is a hell of a tough teacher, but we like it that way, and hope you will too.

makes our trip from Hawaii to Alaska look like chopped liver lol!

@@sailingavocet Every trip has its own challenges. Hawaii to Alaska ain't easy either. Good on you for taking a path less traveled.

Hey! Yea, I would recommend it, long passages give you time to think, to read, to plan projects... like if you're writing a book or something, this kind of trip is ideal. There are few distractions. It's good for the mind, generally, although this last passage was 30 days too long. We knew it would be long, but we wanted to have the experience, to know what it was like. I'm glad we did it, even if some parts were scary/horrible.

Thx Leonardo. A trip like this would have been more pleasant in a boat like Fraternidade tho :)

That is a long way from where we are! But we'd love to go that way for sure, someday :>

Thx. We were complaining about 10 days in, but once you've started you've got no choice but to keep going really.

I've read about them online, they always travel in big numbers like this, and stay offshore for months. China has the largest DWF (distant water fishing) fleet in the world. Most Chinese ships are so large that they scoop up as many fish in a week as a local boat might catch in a year (although what we saw were squid-fishing boats, i think). It's insane. The worse is that many are 'invisible', like they turn off their transponders so as to not be tracked. There are problems now near the Galapagos with these fleets.

We don't have one perse, but you can see our rough route here: 100r.co/live/ And our logbook here: 100r.co/site/north_pacific_logbook.html for dates etc. We do have a document with specific coordinats for the above route but it's not online, if youre rly serious about it shoot us an email.

Awww =^_^= thank you.

It's funny you say that, because our boat has an Eberspächer heater. While in Japan, we realized some parts needed replacing, but we couldn't get them because of delivery issues due to covid. So, we decided to do without it.

No glass broke. Thx for your concern.

Pona! It's good to see your name, it has been too long. I was wondering recently if you were on Mastodon at all, there's a flourishing Toki Pona community on our server, I read Toni Pona in our timeline almost every day now. Anyhow, have a nice one :)

all is good, we are sailing in local waters, while making important improvements to our home.

Border situation is still weird. If we go to the US we've got to quarantine for 14 days when we come back, not quite rdy to do that again.

Hundred Rabbits awww. I would enter Canada if they let me. If you decide to come down before I return to Mexico ( late October or early November) I would love to see you guys.

we're sailing in local waters :), we've neglected youtube a little bit.

@@HundredRabbits :( anywhere you are putting content out? your art, projects and music are super cool. Would like to keep track of that if it's available? Thanks for the reply... :)

​@@4amwaj yes, we update our wiki constantly. We release logs every month see: 100r.co/site/home.html

@@HundredRabbits Super cool! Thanks will follow along there from now on. Cheers!

A whale surfaced 3 times near Pino, this was the 3rd time. On the second, I saw it's face... and from seeing that and the fin, I think maybe a sei whale? Anyway, it was HUGE.

@@HundredRabbits very cool

Not sure I understand your question. We sailed the Pacific Ocean yes.

@@HundredRabbits is peaceful or violent the ocean?

@@nachowind1683 both :)

Yes, it scared us a lot. It's hard to communicate what I felt via narration, as this happened last June and that I am not a voice actor. The video was put together this month. If you do want to know more details of this event, I've written it all in my logbook. I kept a detailed journal of all happening aboard, all 51 days, which I've transcribed and published online. If you're interested, the link is in the description above. Look for the entry on June 17th, the day of the knockdown.

Hundred Rabbits Oh cool. I’ll check it out.

We also could not reconcilliate pushing for environmentally-conscious action, while supporting Apple, a company that fights against the Right to Repair, and creates wasteful products. The game is still available for desktop on to itch.io

@@HundredRabbits Can you make it for Steam???? :)

@@eliasseverininalbon7398 No, sorry. Itch.io is our preferred platform, the one that best aligns with our values.
