One shot is of a Kubrick-ian aesthetic: the one taken from the submerged camera, showing the hull from below shimmering in the big blue.
What is your self steer windvane? Are you happy with it?
Thanks
John Tibbits is a friend of mine from WA state.
Glad you got to meet him.

love the sea
I miss my days of sailing ... the wind, the waves ... the boredom. ;)
Thank you for sharing this short journey with us.
Think it's time for me and my wife to find a boat, cut the lines, and set sail.
Since I did .... I guess that's how I feel about and what I see in this video.
Are you saying that this "IS" , THE MOST EXCITING video on YouTube?
Schaut auch gerne auf meinen Kanal =D

I'm envious
Loved this video.

My fav part was from 24:00 on when the weather changed. The way the sail boat was heeling. . .almost got sea sick! Great !
well done you.

Sounds like you never plan on trying to go....you've inspired me even more lol
what a great adventure you had. (:
I really enjoyed your video.
You always said 'WE'. I'll just assume you meant you and the voices in your head... or maybe the boat? Anyway, thanks.

Bigger partials are filtered out by the 30 mic. Filter.
And a 2 mic. Filter is usually installed on the engine for the smaller partials, before entering the injection pump.
Carry spares, and have your fuel tank inspected and cleaned if nessessary, before you leave.
I thought you were living aboard.
You would have been caught in the middle of that Hurricane
In 1985 I was sailing northward several hours south of Naples Fl. when hailed by USCG to heave to and prepare to be boarded. I was under emergency steerage due to a broken steering chain and requested permission to maintain minimum speed for control. They quickly agreed and came along side, requesting all hands on deck.
Once on board, I presented them with my papers and they ASKED if they could "inspect" the boat. 10 minutes later they had checked all my equipment, inspected every nook and crevice, and were on their way, leaving me with a Notice of Inspection. I had no violations. I could not have asked for a more friendly inspection under any circumstance. These were professionals of the highest caliber and I salute them with my sincere thanks.
The next day I read in the newspaper that 453 bales of marijuana had been recovered in the exact area where I was boarded. Apparently a "mother ship" had made a drop, but no one showed up to collect it. So, even though I did not know why they hailed me, they did what my tax dollars are paid for.
for example, a lot of newer boats have electrical winches for all the lines onboard, just hold a button and the winch does the rest for you. And you could install them on older boats too if a new boat is too expensive.
the thing that might be hard for you is climbing up and down from the cockpit and so on.
And what a surprise for me when I saw the condo you stayed at in Kauai. Hanalei Colony Resort. Not only did I stay in that resort a couple years ago but also in that exact same unit you were in. My photos from the balcony exactly matched your shots in the video. What a coincidence! Anyway, thanks again for sharing your adventure.
..Especially the sardine flavor...loL...
...You should be the one doing those...

For some reason I do not know,, I went for a canoe trip this year. (I do own a sailboat and I am planning a trans-Atlantic)
My canoe trip covered the route of John Wesley Powell,, and more. I was under weigh for nearly three months, often miles or days away from people.
I watched your diary because I own a sailboat,, but I liked it because of the canoe trip. My canoe trip,, although solo,, was all about people. People that I had known for 4 days,, felt as if I had known them for 40 years,,, and I hoped I would know them for the next 40 years. Families, and brothers and sisters that I was just meeting. Even though many nights were spent on beaches, in a tent, where the stars were my closet companions.
Alone together makes perfect sense.
Dave Mason. Great album.
