Why didn’t you try balancing the boat and rigging up some steering with the
sheets. A book by John Letcher is great on sheet-steering systems and
self-made wind vanes. He also designed a great 25-foot, 5500 lb ocean
mini-cruiser. I built one but never made it to sea. This video makes my
heart ache for a missed dream.
As soon as my 34′ is finished Hilo has been my planed destination for
years. Did you anchor in the harbor or was there a harbor to tie up to ?
Haven’t seen one driving around the area. Otherwise than that you made a
great video. Thanks

I know nothing about sailing. So how do you keep from hitting things at
night? Or when you’re sleeping?

I appreciate your camera work. All shots were focused and steady. Many You
tube videos are unpleasant to watch due to excessive camera movement.

A trip I took many times in the late 70’s early 80’s. I worked for a group
that delivered sailboats. They had a side of the business that would
deliver boats to Hawaii from North America. The owners would fly over and
meet their craft and sail around the islands. Most often we would then
return it to anywhere from Juneau to San Diego.

Fair winds and following seas …. best always, S.

Thanks for sharing. This video actually explained a lot of questions I had
about sailing solo and the equipment you need to safely do so.

Well I really enjoyed your video, including the music. Will you be making
another on the return trip ?!
I’ve just retired after countless decades of work and am fantasising about
buying a boat. I’m in Wallasey, UK near Liverpool, so might be able to make
a rather more modest voyage up the coast to Scotland if I decide to take
the plunge.
Thanks again.

Great adventure! What time of year did you make the journey? Looking to
make the crossing on a 1988 50ft wood sailboat, trying to establish the
very best time to make the journey. Thanks for a great video!

You getting to use the windpilot since this voyage?
