Happy Birthday Garrett 🙂 All the very best. I hope all your viewers realise the quality of your editing in these videos. The intermittence and balance between you onboard explaining what's going on and the panoramas to show us what you are experiencing is fantastic. Carry on.
Just recently came upon your awesome videos. Very relaxing to watch before i'm about to go out and work for the day. Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. I really like to go to google maps and see exactly where your heading to. Have a kickass time brother. much love from Michigan
Reading “Dove” after you mentioned her. Can’t believe he just sideswiped a freighter in the pitch black. Guy is lucky to be alive, multiple times. Thanks!
Happy Birthday Garrett. No longer a teenager. I found that hard ! Thank you so much for showing us more beautiful places and I really enjoy these videos. You are a natural on camera. I wish you well on your incredible journey. Keep well and safe. James.
Your patrons are growing you’re getting better and better with your videos. I love when you were walking around we were actually kind of hearing the people talking in the background do more content like that more aerial content you will have many patrons love this video.
“Hooligan shenanigans”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 btw. no matter how durable you are(although it’s not you it’s bcs of your age your body can stay under extreme conditions FOR NOW) you HAVE TO EAT AND SLEEP. If you wanna do this forever you gotta take care of yourself. Great video, again. Cheers.
Bro! That sequence about midway through of your boat en route to Moorea/Huahine(?) wth the sparsely populated island and peaks is fantastic! Absolutely gorgeous scene, great music choice. Stunning. Bon vent! as they say in French Garrett, hope your travels continue to be so fulfilling and beautiful.
sailing is one of my biggest dreams. i’m 17 right now about to start my a-levels (uk exams lol) it’s refreshing knowing someone not that much older than me is doing it, well done and stay safe.
Garrett's got me inspired too. About to head to the yard to do more refitting right now. Planning to head down the coast for the Carib from Lake Ontario on my Moody 34 if all goes well!
What a sad deal about Huahine! It's where we stayed the first time in Tahiti and had a great time. The locals were super friendly but that was 40 years ago.
I did 10 fiji years on my 30 footer at muskett cove. Surfing my brains out at namotu and Wilks. Tavarua was private back then. But namotu was not. I was allowed at tavarua but preferred to empty namotu waves in the 90s. Fiji people are awesome. Indian food is cheap and tasty. You're going to love fiji.
Done Muskett cove a couple times and used to know the Ozzie guys who rented Namotu ….I preferred surfing there to Tavarua …..only restaurants occasionally and Wilkes passage my fav. That was 27 years ago and maybe due a trip back
Yes Garrett I been watching your content lately I quite enjoyed very beautifully presented bare love and respect keep up with the good work and stay safe.
@@garrettsadventure yeah I could imagine you thinking the wind would down your drone? Me too bro. My first drone was the bulky GoPro KARMA which did hit the water and I lost everything. But GoPro ran an investigation into my flight log through Wi-Fi and they deemed it the drones fault and they sent me a brand new one. But I ended up selling it on Facebook marketplace and using some of the money to buy the DJI mini 2. DJI is actually a good drone and reliable, but I stopped flying any drone over water. Anyhow you have a good eye for the camera with music and shots who knows your videos can eventually become a sitcom down the road🙋♂️ Anyway i continue to watch anything sailing these days including movies. White squall my favorite teen movie, Master and Commanders and the Bounty with Mel Gibson. Looking forward to your next episode.
Awesome video! My wife and I are always excited to see a new video drop. It’s been fun watching your adventure! We know nothing about sailing (even though my aunt owns Pedigree Cats Catamarans), but still love it. We’ve learned a few things from you, and cool to see the places you’re going. Amazing you’re doing this at your age! Bon voyage!
Take the motor out of windlass...its easy to do. Good chance its a Nissan starter motor so in Papeete. Otherwise, its a motor and an alternator shop can rebuild. If it is a control box, theirs not much there either. You can take it apart and see the problem. Most problems with anything on a boat is the connections. If you used welding wires on your windlass, check for any holes or punctures in the insulation.
@garrettsadventure a new windlass of that size capacity is about 5k. You can rebuild it for 500. If you buy a new cheap like lewmar windlass..they are garbage, they don't build them like they used to yours is built like a tank, a windlass like that is very desirable. If you buy a new $1300 lewmar it will likely will be broken within a year.
You're inspiring me to live on a boat and go sailing. Wait, I already live on a Wauquiez Centurion 47! Well okay, you're inspiring me even more. Happy sailing to you!
@@garrettsadventure I liked this. I feel like too much and it would change the vibe of the videos to be more I don’t know… produced? I like your current style where you show clips from the go pros on the ship and occasional transitions to the drones. It feels more like we’re going along with you that way and I enjoy it. But if you want more shots, I’m sure it would still be a fun video to watch
when you get to Bora Bora there is a wonderful nearby island, Maupiti, worth checking out. The inlet to the lagoon can be tricky but the place is really special, like going back in time.
@@garrettsadventure Be careful to watch the tides going through the inlet. The lagoon is very peaceful. you may be able to get use of a bicycle to explore the island. I sailed a fifty foot sloop there. Leaving was the only hard part. The ferry operator had was great help navigating. Hit a gale during the night passage back to Bora Bora. Excited for you. Vincent
Loving your videos brother, me and the dogs are doing the same thing on land for the next few years and then I'll be looking at buying a boat and doing the same thing you are. Good luck and keep the videos coming!
We were in Huahine in February and it was incredible. Over by the Huahine Yacht Club there is a Michelin starred French pastry chef who sells ice cream he makes out of a little cart with the most amazing brown butter waffle bowls. Go track him down. It’s worth it. Love your videos!
Hey Garrett! If you haven't left raiatea yet you MUST check out the coral garden snorkel near Le Tahaa resort off Tahaa. Which is right near raiatea. Itll blow your mind! There are moorings at the resort, I remember seeing sailboats tied up when we wjere there.
I ain’t telling you how to live big dog, but I’m thinking fresh lobster, fish or crab straight from the bowels of the ocean sounds way better than cat food 😅. I do enjoy seeing the views. I’m envious.
I just ran across your channel, Garrett, and have to say I'm shocked that the Pacific Ocean's waves don't pulverize you. I have to assume you chart things very, very carefully as I have seen cruise videos where the waves would reach the 4th and 5th floors of 1000 foot cruise ships.
I hated those no-wind days too, but crossing the doldrums took me five days. I had fuel but no battery power to start the engine. -- and-- Google ahead to find out the name of someone who is mayor or governor of those village moorings. When you arrive, just say something like "I have to deliver an important message to (place name here)". You can make up a good story I'm Shure. Mike
I'm very impressed by your courage and resilience, you have my utmost respect. Good luck with your channel Garrett.
6:05 that has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of cinematography I have ever seen!
Happy Birthday Garrett 🙂 All the very best.
I hope all your viewers realise the quality of your editing in these videos.

Carry on.
Man I wanna be chill like you , it’s always a “whatever “ attitude in a good way , love it

Wake up babe, New Garrett video just dropped
For real
Bro! That sequence about midway through of your boat en route to Moorea/Huahine(?) wth the sparsely populated island and peaks is fantastic! Absolutely gorgeous scene, great music choice. Stunning. Bon vent! as they say in French Garrett, hope your travels continue to be so fulfilling and beautiful.
And I'm buying you a beer for that.
Epic footage!
Glad you liked it! And thanks for the support!
Currently my favorite channel on TH-cam. Get excited by every upload
Crazy beautiful drone footage and the accompanying music is perfect. Luv your videos . Thanks
sailing is one of my biggest dreams. i’m 17 right now about to start my a-levels (uk exams lol) it’s refreshing knowing someone not that much older than me is doing it, well done and stay safe.
Man that drone footage is epic with you sailing !
Currently refitting my 29.9 cal to sail down to Caribbean from NC im 22. You’re a big inspiration for me man!
Garrett's got me inspired too. About to head to the yard to do more refitting right now. Planning to head down the coast for the Carib from Lake Ontario on my Moody 34 if all goes well!
Breaks my heart that you couldn't anchor, would've loved to see more of the island. Another great video Garrett, keep em coming!
More soon! Thanks for watching!
Cheers from Canada....love your adventures..happy thoughts today..stay safe !
Those drone shots. Oh my. Thank you!
Garrett posts, I watch. That simple.
Cheers brother!
Appreciate it! More videos coming soon
20 years... congratulations 👍👍👍
What a sad deal about Huahine! It's where we stayed the first time in Tahiti and had a great time. The locals were super friendly but that was 40 years ago.
I was fortunate to sail Baja 50 years ago after that built a 3o ft flush deck cutter and made 2 more trips with wife and 2 daughters
I did 10 fiji years on my 30 footer at muskett cove. Surfing my brains out at namotu and Wilks. Tavarua was private back then. But namotu was not. I was allowed at tavarua but preferred to empty namotu waves in the 90s.
Fiji people are awesome. Indian food is cheap and tasty. You're going to love fiji.
Done Muskett cove a couple times and used to know the Ozzie guys who rented Namotu ….I preferred surfing there to Tavarua …..only restaurants occasionally and Wilkes passage my fav.
That was 27 years ago and maybe due a trip back
Very very sad that those locals had to “see you off” in such an aggressive manner……take care Garrett and stay strong 💪
6:20 those aerial shots looked so serine and unreal, looks to majestic to be real. I am jealous.
Moorea is beautiful
Good to hear from you 😊
Thanks for the update
Thanks for watching
Love these videos! Thanks for sharing!!
Gret video! Thanks for sharing!!!
Enjoyed the update. I'm living vicariously. Stay safe.
Yes Garrett I been watching your content lately I quite enjoyed very beautifully presented bare love and respect keep up with the good work and stay safe.
Glad you're doing well! Have fun! Enjoying your videos very much!
Fantastic drone footage you took bro with a great music score. Keep your videos coming. It is truly amazing what you do alone out there
More coming soon! Glad you liked the drone footage, it's really fun to fly. Catching it while sailing is quite spooky though.
@@garrettsadventure yeah I could imagine you thinking the wind would down your drone? Me too bro. My first drone was the bulky GoPro KARMA which did hit the water and I lost everything.

Nice to see you are picking up more patreon supporters.Got a chuckle out of one of them."MOM".She's always a boys best friend.
Mom will always be the #1 Patreon hahaha

Living the dream eh Garrett?😜

It's ancient, just gonna buy new. Thanks for the tips though!

Dad lore is gonna go insane
Watching this after just wrapping up a passage from Nuku Hiva, Marquesas to Oahu HI. By the looks of it we were probably in Papeete at the same time!
Love to see another one of garretts videos
Cheers!
Happy one Garrett, enjoy the trip to Bora Bora & Fiji
Thank you!
Very nice, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
New Hampshire here ✌. I'm sailing with you man.
I love the drone shots!
Good!
fantastic! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching
You make me want to learn how to sail, sell everything and hit the water. Good luck young fella.
Go for it!
6:15 WHAT A SHOT.. Love the vids man!
I know….So beautiful!
Yo, you tired of sailing on BDO? Had to watch someone doing it IRL? 😆
Love your videos man. Keep it up!
Great video. Excellent!
To be safe is not free but to be free is not safe a quote from a friend from Morocco
I like it!
Quite similar to the american ....freedom isn't free.
I’m glad to see that you now have a starlink on your boat. Stay safe out there
More adventures! Can't wait!!!
Soon!
Great video!!
A bit scary about the locals running you off! You be careful out there.
You're inspiring me to live on a boat and go sailing. Wait, I already live on a Wauquiez Centurion 47! Well okay, you're inspiring me even more. Happy sailing to you!
It would’ve been nice to see your birthday Garrett. Happy birthday.
Still enjoying your adventures. Keep it up and best wishes
Thanks for watching! Will do
Happy Birthday🥳. I love your Videos they are so amazing🥰.
Thanks, I'm glad you like them
Keep going, you’re doing great!!
Happy Birthday Garrett from the oceans of Colorado mountains. I live the mountain version of your life. Perhaps a trade some day. Best wishes Mate.
Thanks John! I'll take up that trade in about 4 years for 6 months out of the year
Love your videos!
it is good to see that you are ok, you are very brave, great videos
Thanks!!!
Babe wake up, Garrett just posted another adventure video!
Hahaha
Epic adventure you're on! 😎
Your a straight shooter garret, keep them videos rolling in ❤
Planning on it, thanks for watching
Rather pleasing to see a young man increasing his sailing skills rather than wasting time on non essentials
Good point
Great stuff. Sorry about the locals, but always entertaining. Love the drone shots
Thanks! Would you like to see more drone footage in the videos or is there the right amount?
@@garrettsadventure I liked this. I feel like too much and it would change the vibe of the videos to be more I don’t know… produced? I like your current style where you show clips from the go pros on the ship and occasional transitions to the drones. It feels more like we’re going along with you that way and I enjoy it. But if you want more shots, I’m sure it would still be a fun video to watch
@@garrettsadventure I think just the right amount, a couple of 1 minute or so shots per vid is cool.
🤘🤙awesome video Garrett ….safe passage brah ⛵️
Thanks
Cool video. A boat tour would be very interesting. Safe travels
There's one on the channel, thanks for watching
when you get to Bora Bora there is a wonderful nearby island, Maupiti, worth checking out. The inlet to the lagoon can be tricky but the place is really special, like going back in time.

Thanks!
Loving your videos brother, me and the dogs are doing the same thing on land for the next few years and then I'll be looking at buying a boat and doing the same thing you are. Good luck and keep the videos coming!
Rainy, cold, miserable morning here in Ireland. well thats ok ill watch Garrett sailing through the Souty Pacific
Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸 Nice work on this video. Cheers 🥂
Cheers!
Good on ya mate 🧉 🌴🥥⛵️
Super cool. Super awesome.
Thanks!

Happy Birthday - say goodbye to being a teen, young man. Also, welcome to what they incorrectly call "adulthood".
Can we get a q&a on your sailing please?
Happy Birthday from a fellow lover of solitude
awesome you get any decent waves
I just ran across your channel, Garrett, and have to say I'm shocked that the Pacific Ocean's waves don't pulverize you. I have to assume you chart things very, very carefully as I have seen cruise videos where the waves would reach the 4th and 5th floors of 1000 foot cruise ships.
Wow, navigating thru those waters at night takes real skill.
Happy belated birthday ❤🎉20 years! 🥳
Thanks!
