Ich hatte mir zuletzt nur ein Video über Unfälle auf dem Wasser angesehen.

    I've just stumbled upon this UA-cam genre of "massive solo ocean voyages on tiny boat," and I'm hooked. It's incredible what you guys are doing out there. Not only helps you appreciate the vastness of the planet we live on, but it's inspiring to see human beings overcome that. Alone.

    • @CASHXRAT
      @CASHXRAT 2 роки тому +1

      I'm curious, actually. After initially seeing guys make the trip from LA to Hawaii, I was looking at a map and just assumed a trek across the Atlantic would be too far for such a small boat to make. I was clearly mistaken.
      So I wonder: Is there ANY journey one couldn't make in a small ship like this? Assuming one can store enough provisions?
      Are there "no-go zones" at sea, where it'd simply be too dangerous to attempt to sail? And if so, where (I suppose the polar seas might be good candidates...)? What are the actual limits to this?

    • @mjambo697
      @mjambo697  2 роки тому +1

      Thank you very much! I think non-stop around the world would be feasible. But, yes, polar regions are not doable with my boat as it is not made for arctic temperatures. 😀⛵⛵

What a delight. You’re a very respectable man and I know many look up to you. Great job with everything you do!

    I enjoyed every minute of your cruise. Your commentaries were quite interesting and I admire you not only for you obvious abilities as a solo sailor, but your optimism and great sense of humor that included that rare capacity to be able to laugh at yourself. What makes a good solo sailor are the same traits that makes a good friend and a happy mate. Happy sailing and here at the end of 2929, Froeliche Weinachten!

    To future sailors, loosing track of the number of days out at sea by yourself is never a good thing. Use colanders, watches, and other ways to remind yourself how long you have been out. If electronic instruments fail, its really good to know how long you have been travelling. That being said this skipper keeps good logs, so he can loose track of how many days he has been out and review his log book if something requires him to remember.

    this is absolutely the best long distant solo sailing video that I have ever seen great job sir. In the early 60s I sailed around the world on 230 ton hermaphrodite brig squares on the for mast the only nave aid we had was a sextant and she was a real snail. two years before the mast. I can not believe the modern equiptment that is out there today.
