    Sailing= the ability to resist pain for long periods while facing the threat of downing at any second or quietly sailing into the most picturesque anchorage you have ever experienced, enjoying the sunset, and humbly accepting the accolades from your sailing partner. Wish I had not become ill.

    I’ve suddenly stumbled onto these sailing channels and am so mesmerized it’s got me questioning my retirement (which isn’t far off). I don’t think I’d ever have the sack to do this ocean crossing solo stuff though. Respect to those of you who do. I can see myself coastal cruising though, as long as I have a port to duck in when whatever shit hits the fan.

    I sailed from Bermuda to UK last sommer. We had 2 big depressions hit us during the trip. Beaufort 9 was the worst.
    The waves look much bigger in real life than on camera.

I’m 29 years old and just about to start my journey in learning to sail and it’s good to see the other side of it where sailing is a life saving skill and it’s not just women and beautiful destinations. It’s tough and scary too. Sleep deprivation etc but scarily I STILL want to learn and in the future undertake huge trips too

    Hugo, a modern day Moitessier, at least he had a 38 ft steel ketch to carry him around the globe. Love your adventures so far. You kept a very brave face for your camera on this passage, only someone who has been alone on an ocean in such conditions would know how frightening it can be to have the prospect of being rolled or pitchpoled at any moment. Looking forward to future passages. May Neptune keep you safe ! Fair winds and calm seas !

      Neptune / Poseidon, they are the same, the only difference is that Poseidon is the Greek name, while Neptune is his Roman name. They are both god of the sea brother to Zeus and Hades (Jupiter and Pluto in Roman repectively) just sayin.

Turned out to be about 35 foot sailboat and we called them on the radio asking if they were doing ok and this raspy voice replied in English with a strong French accent " Yes yes all is ok. Are you ok?" we could not stop laughing as we were on a 3500ton ship:P

    Takes huge calls to stay calm after falling in the water in the middle of the Atlantic!
    This dude is crazy and I love it. I would love if one day I too could make such trips, alone or with a trusty and hardy buddy

    Quel sang froid ! Je n’y connais rien en navigation mais j’étais déjà impressionné de voir la vidéo de traversée de l’Atlantique avec ton père, un baromètre, un gps de poche, une vhf et des cartes... t’es pas loin de savoir naviguer aux étoiles. En attendant de voir d’autres de tes vidéos, bons vents !

    If the life jacket felt that it was time to inflate, then it was time to inflate. I'd like a little side video of the life jacket's personal experience through all of this as it battled the seas upon your shoulders. :D

      I've literally had an anesthesiologist say pretty much exactly that after restarting my heart during a local anesthetic operation where it stopped due to a reaction to the meds. His attitude so relaxed about that I didn't know whether to be shocked or awed. Either way I was happy he was the guy in charge!

    A la minute 11''35, il conviendrait d'avoir un bas étai pour mettre une trinquette ou juste un peu de GNE et rentrer la GV au portant... c'est mieux pour le pilote auto.
    Un navik ne serait pas de trop ... Bon vent pour la suite.

      J'ai un était largable, avec 3 petites voiles d'avant, mais pendant cette traversée, ma voile moyenne était morte malheureusement... Sinon c'est sur que ca aurait été plus adapte.
      Et pour le régulateur d'allure je suis d'accord, j'ai longtemps hésité, mais j'ai finalement choisi d'opter pour un pilote auto, pour libérer le tableau arrière et mettre un plateforme, bien pratique sur un petit bateau comme ca. Au final le pilot assure bien et je suis content de mon choix

    • @brunof.dhivaou3394
      @brunof.dhivaou3394 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Le pilote c'est bien le long des cotes (Il ne suit pas le vent !). Au large, le régulateur n'a pas besoin d'énergie, facilement réparable, et tiendra le mauvais temps beaucoup plus longtemps qu'un pilote...
      Par ailleurs, sur un petit bateau, il est dommage de mettre du poids dans les hauts avec un portique et des panneaux. On détériore la stabilité du bateau d'autant que l'architecte ne l'a pas prévu. C'est là aussi particulièrement dommage dans le mauvais temps !
      A cela, il faut ajouter le fardage important (surtout dans le mauvais temps - et je me pose la question pour moi même)
