Love the cheerfulness in "where's the fish??? because we haven't seen a fish in 3 days!!!" LOL I think it's really awesome that your kids will be able to see this when they get older. I hope you guys get to do this with them someday!
WOW! How many people can say that they did this!? I couldn't sleep and woke up about 2am here in CA and found your video and LOVED every min of it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for posting this video. Tim probably has some stories to tell his friends, now that he has spent some twenty days with a young healthy couple on a boat named "Honeymoon." Your choices of scenes was very good, showing how life goes on quite nicely even when it rains, and how you can (usually) catch fish to supplement your larder while under way. May you always make it home safely.
Hi Chloe, don't give up on sailing yet. Elizabeth would also get sea-sick but found ways to fight it and still enjoy the journey. Good luck finding your sea legs!
We mostly used small, rubber squids and 80 lbs test line. We found the best ones had weights that kept them below the water line and from skipping over the water. We also found that once you had a lour that worked, you usually lost it to a huge fish, so get plenty!
Oh, man. Beautiful boat, gorgeous wife, your best mate and yourself crossing the Pacific. What else could a man want? You make me very jealous, Seth. One day I am going todo something like this. Best of luck!
Very inspiring and amazing videos. I am so jealous but you inspire me to get out of the depths of corporate hell and do something like this. You guys are awesome!!!!!!
So, after much watching of all of your lovely and well documented videos as well as those of other sailing folks that have done this, we have finally gotten the gumption to take the leap....new 2014 Gemini Legacy 35 :) - closing on it in early June. Thanks so much for putting all of these videos up, while I will likely never cross the Pacific on our boat I will surely be skipping around the Islands (Florida guy here) - so we have plenty of things to do within 200 miles or so of home....now I need to learn how to sail....haha....motors here we come...we bought from the same Catamaran Company you guys did as well....looked at an old Lagoon 380 but it was beat......got a great deal on the Gemini. Anyways.....wanted to pass along a note....let us know if you are ever in Florida....
Thanks for the great videos and blog. I have enjoyed following you guys on this adventure. Sorry you have to come back to the real world with the rest of us. Again, great job and thanks for sharing!
Hi 1mnstrbassplyer. I don't know the exact average, but we were roughly traveling at 4.5 knots on average. So imagine getting into your car in San Francisco and taking your foot off the brake - and idling to Boston. That's roughly what we did. You have to really like going slowly!
The Sailing Family it’s funny when you take a ride in your car traveling at 65,75 mph to a location and get there in a few short hours then imagine how long it would have took of sailing there etc. I like sailing better though.
Hi Shoob, it's not a cheap way to travel, but for us it was worth spending our savings to experience this type of travel before kids. Depending on how you like to live, you can cruise from anywhere between $15,000 a year to $70,000. Boat repairs, insurance, fuel, port taxes, tourist trips and food are the main expenses. Costs to buy a boat are high, but we sold ours after a year and a half of use and didn't lose much with interest on our loan. Hope that helps.
Again I find you . I think this was the first video I saw. Fantastic voyage! When i was about 15 or 16 I found dove in national geographic. The Robin Lee Graham story. Then I found another story about a solo sailor who sailed in the Antarctic. Read that on rainy days while I was riding my nishiki through the Canadian Rockies. I enjoyed the fact that always new what you doin the next day. You also knew it would be different. Again thanks for recording you trip.
What a good life u guys have!!! good luck for the next trip, Enjoy and becareful. hopping to see more video. o'ya,congrat for the honeymoon. wishing u guys happiness.
Hi Mark, we found that many of the places we visited were extremely safe, had low violence and very tough gun laws. By comparison, San Francisco, like any major US city, has very high levels of crime. In our upscale SF apartment, bike theft, auto theft and even one murder of a tenant occurred. So, we definitely felt safe while traveling (sad as it is)...
The Sailing Family - What were both of your jobs that you quit during this time back around 2008-2009? Also, what jobs did you quit for your recent sailing trip with the kids in 2018-2019?
Hi MrTinago. While San Francisco is a relatively safe place to live, it's still a large city with lots of crime. We found the Caribbean and south pacific to be far safer than large cities. In fact, someone had been murdered fairly recently in our SF apartment building, so we definitely know it can happen anywhere. We felt very safe on our boat.
Your videos of sailing the Pacific are, with out a doubt, the best on UA-cam! If the wine business doesn't work out, consider a career as a Video/Movie producer!
If I recall correctly, we stayed on Hiva Oa for roughly 5 days before departing to explore the nearby islands of the Marquesas. Nearby Fatu Hiva was one of our favorite islands visited during our entire trip.
I hear you dude. Same here, I have been wanting to do this since I was a boy. Looks like I will get my chance in the next year or so. I am on the Atlantic side and plan on staying there until feel comfortable doing otherwise. I took some sailing classes about 15 years ago then got busy with "stuff". Things are different now. Hope you make it out there, good luck.
That's the beauty of sailing long distances - you never know how much wind you are going to have. For that reason we brought more fuel than we thought we would need, and were right. And should we have run out we would have just sailed the rest of the way. That's how you do this...
I never got seasick but Elizabeth would get queasy sometimes. Everyone handles it differently and not getting sick certainly makes it a more enjoyable way to travel. Seth
Hi Seth, I really enjoyed your video series in preparation for my own Pacific Crossing. I just sent you a video response that includes our first in a series of short youtube videos about our trip. Thanks for making the videos and sharing your travels. BTW, our boat is now in Palau. Next stop... Bali. Cheers, Steve
Thankfully you can time your crossing to avoid tropical storms. Usually the sailing season starts around April and goes through September. In that time you are pretty much guaranteed not to hit a tropical storm, but you still keep an eye out for fronts and localized storm systems. It's not perfect, but it's certainly safer that you would think.
Thanks guys for great vids. Wife n i have watched all many times and your vids are the best n informative ones on cats n bluewater out there. We are hoping to do the trip one day soon. Please fell free to get another cat n do another trip
Very interesting. My wife and I did a similar journey in a Benateau 46. Hiva Oa was amazing. Did a message in a bottle in about the same location. AMAZING experience!!
I was wondering if the further out to sea you went if you found the fishing to be as good as coastal areas? I saw your video on the transit of the Panama Canal and Panama where I lived for 5 years, and really enjoyed see the Canal again.
Hi Bassplyer. We average 5-6 knots during passages. This equaled close to 150 nautical miles a day for passages, which is very comparable to a 45 foot mono-hull. Top speed was 10 knots, and anything faster and we would hydroplane.
We sailed SSW from the Galapagos to try and exit the ITCZ. Given the length of the trip you want to get south to wind and conserve diesel fuel. We then sailed a directly western path into the setting sun toward Hiva Oa. 19 days and 19 hours later we arrived. Check out Jimmy Cornell's books on route guidance for more suggestions.
We had a desalination water maker on board and used it sparingly. We also carried back-up water given the health risks of running out. And finally, we had the capability to catch rain fall if needed, although never did. Hope that helps. Seth
An absolutely fabulous upload. Thanks for sharing your unique and courageous journey. Thanks also for redeeming UA-cam. It's one of the few videos I wish was a little longer and more detailed. But I quibble -- really enjoyed watching this. How'd you get the boat back?
Technical question; how do you handle the fresh water situation? Recalling the heroic adventures of yesteryear (Sir Francis Chichester, etc.) water was always a problem. They had water tanks but the stuff would go bad after a few weeks and they would have to catch (hoped for) rainwater in their sails and suchlike. Bathing would be in salt water with coconut oil soap.
That was a great travel log. You guys are all brave adventurists. Was there ever any fear of the waves and wind capsizing the vessel? I just bought my first sailboat; am scheduled for a maiden voyage tomorrow in the shallows of the Gulf of Mexico. I can't imagine being hundreds of miles from land on anything but a ship. Wow! What a ride.
Wow!! I am only 18 years old, but to boat/sail across an ocean has always been one of my dreams, you are so lucky! Any recommendations you can give for me for good starter boats and other explorer tips?
Hi awake. Check out our blog for our full story (it's in the caption segment up above). But briefly, yes, I have sailed my entire life and the 38' boat was small (compared to an apartment!). You can learn how to do it, just buy a boat and give it time!
Hi Kenneth, thanks for writing. We used very little actually. As you can see in the video, we had plenty of wind, so the fuel on board lasted us until Tahiti, which was perfect. If I remember correctly, we used 25 gallons to sail 3,000 nautical miles over 20 days.
There is danger in certain places, but not where we sailed. Frankly, our apartment in San Francisco was more dangerous than where we sailed (Caribbean and South Pacific). Consequently, we did not carry a firearm.
hi, I am very happy to know that you have returned to respond on yt. How are the kids and your wife? Why did you say " apartment in San Francisco was more dangerous than where we sailed" ? :) Are you going to take another trip like this with all your family?
Great video took a trip to the Marquesas back in the 90s beauty never changes hope to make the voyage again someday. I guess Tim is single hope you two can find him a girlfriend for taking you two on a memoriable Honeymoon on his beautiful yacht LOL!. Again congratulations!!
Looks like a great adventure, cheers! I wonder how many "message in a bottles" are swirling around the center of the pacific in the "plastic island" ;)
Phong Do The bottle is glass, which is SiO2 - or sand and silica. More than likely it's at the bottom of the ocean hosting a new fish family or slowly turning back into sand. Plastic, on the other hand, floats and doesn't recycle itself in the same way. It's a shame, I agree.
Hi Boliver, we did as you state, but like to think that the fish enjoyed a good drink before coming to his gruesome end. Bleeding the fish is an important part of preparing it for cooking but we did not film that part here. Thanks for commenting!
The French government usually requires you to pay a bond upon arrival that would be equal to the value of a one way plane ticket home. They do this so they can fly you out if you become a drain on their system. Otherwise the costs are fairly similar to sailing elsewhere with food slightly inflated due to the challenge getting it there. But I hope you go, it's worth whatever they charge!
Great videos. Can you tell me about "Honeymoon"? What type of catamaran is she? Who made her and what length? I used to sail in a Macgregor 36 but rarely into the ocean. Your cat is more accommodating for cruising. What kind of speed do you average in mild winds? I've heard stories of cats capsizing in rough seas. How stable is Honeymoon in blue water or rough weather? What type of rigging does she have? Dingy? Inflatable? Thanks...
Fantastic video! One question. How much money should I have when I pull into the Marquesas? I looked into vacationing in the Galapagos a few years back and you about needed a permit to pee on the Island. Is it really that resrtictive?
Holly crap look how young you both look. The kids a twinkle in dad and moms eyes. If you know what you know now, that you would do this voyage with the kids. You guys never have any luck with the fish even after 11yrs. You would think you would get better over time. That fish you got in the vid 🤣😂🤣😂🤣, I’ve seen bigger in a fish bowl 🤣😂🤣.
I am very happy for the fact that you made a safe and healthy trip.I have a lot of respect for both of you and i love wonderful trip that you made.I love australia and the pacific,you have realized my dream :).Please do me a little favor, on you tube now there have the chance to do online editing, could you put your all video of the trip in order to create a single movie? ITs really simple and really usefull .Thank you and I will continue to follow you!Geetings from italy
We don't want to sell her, but it has always been our plan to take only a year or so off from "life." So back to the real world we go. Thanks for watching... S&E

I miss this so much! I circumnavigated when I was younger with my family. I can't wait to do it again.
Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to post your adventure! Sailed the Bahamas as a kid. Can't wait to return!

made my morning. thank you! someday I will cross the Pacific and the way you did it looks perfect in every way.
A well paying job isn't everything...What a story to tell the grand kids one day. Wow that hard work and perseverance paid off.
We mostly used small, rubber squids and 80 lbs test line. We found the best ones had weights that kept them below the water line and from skipping over the water. We also found that once you had a lour that worked, you usually lost it to a huge fish, so get plenty!
very inspirational. proving once again......... attitude is trumps all.
Oh, man. Beautiful boat, gorgeous wife, your best mate and yourself crossing the Pacific. What else could a man want? You make me very jealous, Seth. One day I am going todo something like this. Best of luck!

Great video. Glad you all enjoyed your trip. I am just getting into sailing and about to build my first sail cat and love these videos.
We weren't "free." Quitting our well paying jobs was a happy but nervous day. But we wanted to make this a priority - so we did - and so can you!
This is the most positive comment in here! I am inspired! Thank you for sharing this adventure...
The Sailing Family - What were both of your jobs that you quit during this time back around 2008-2009? Also, what jobs did you quit for your recent sailing trip with the kids in 2018-2019?

I actually enjoyed your commentary. Yours, lizabeth's and Tim. I guess I liked the tour.
We really enjoyed your video. We wish you the very best for a long and happy marriage...

Great job on the video, I followed your blog as well, Dave
Well done. Cracking video.
I knew I loved Elizabeth but when she found the sleeping mask on the back of her head I knew that we were really kindred spirits.
Technical question; how do you handle the fresh water situation? Recalling the heroic adventures of yesteryear (Sir Francis Chichester, etc.) water was always a problem.

AWESOME! I am trying to talk my wife into sailing to Jamaica. May have to settle for a short trip to Bermuda.
Looked like a fun adventure. Maybe someday I can do that.
Wow!! I am only 18 years old, but to boat/sail across an ocean has always been one of my dreams, you are so lucky! Any recommendations you can give for me for good starter boats and other explorer tips?
so cool how you catch fish while your on your way!
With a fishing rod.
I meant to say it is so cool*
Hi awake. Check out our blog for our full story (it's in the caption segment up above). But briefly, yes, I have sailed my entire life and the 38' boat was small (compared to an apartment!). You can learn how to do it, just buy a boat and give it time!

Good video. Nice trip obviously.
We're back to work now - refilling the cruising kitty!
Cool trip, good winds.
Great when Elizabeth does some 'vlogging'.
hi, I am very happy to know that you have returned to respond on yt. How are the kids and your wife? Why did you say " apartment in San Francisco was more dangerous than where we sailed" ? :) Are you going to take another trip like this with all your family?
great videos,it makes me want to go into the blue,thanks
Nice little video. Safe voyages.
Ever been on a sailboat? I once did a 10 day passage from Mexico to Costa Rica with 5 on board and even that was a lot of work.
Great video took a trip to the Marquesas back in the 90s beauty never changes hope to make the voyage again someday. I guess Tim is single hope you two can find him a girlfriend for taking you two on a memoriable Honeymoon on his beautiful yacht LOL!. Again congratulations!!
We crossed in 2007 and it took us exactly the same amount of time ...... We're still out there sailing...... on Sabbatical III (now in Malaysia)
Looks like a great adventure, cheers!
I wonder how many "message in a bottles" are swirling around the center of the pacific in the "plastic island" ;)
Phong Do The bottle is glass, which is SiO2 - or sand and silica. More than likely it's at the bottom of the ocean hosting a new fish family or slowly turning back into sand. Plastic, on the other hand, floats and doesn't recycle itself in the same way. It's a shame, I agree.
Seth Hynes Thinks 'Phong Do' means this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_garbage_patch
Great vids, well done guys, but you have failed me when I watched you purposely littering. For what benefit do you mess up my ocean?
Have a good time sailing in Panama!
Hi Boliver, we did as you state, but like to think that the fish enjoyed a good drink before coming to his gruesome end. Bleeding the fish is an important part of preparing it for cooking but we did not film that part here. Thanks for commenting!
But you did carry a flare gun..I Hope:) Great footage...what a wonderful way to bond the glue that was your beginning!
The French government usually requires you to pay a bond upon arrival that would be equal to the value of a one way plane ticket home. They do this so they can fly you out if you become a drain on their system. Otherwise the costs are fairly similar to sailing elsewhere with food slightly inflated due to the challenge getting it there. But I hope you go, it's worth whatever they charge!
Wow what a great video! I would love to spend my life on the ocean sailing. What type of sailboat was this?
Great videos. Can you tell me about "Honeymoon"? What type of catamaran is she? Who made her and what length? I used to sail in a Macgregor 36 but rarely into the ocean. Your cat is more accommodating for cruising. What kind of speed do you average in mild winds? I've heard stories of cats capsizing in rough seas. How stable is Honeymoon in blue water or rough weather? What type of rigging does she have? Dingy? Inflatable? Thanks...
Seth will you and Elizabeth ever go sailing again, miss your Passages!
Rocky Villanueva Yes, we would love to do this again. But for now its raising our kids and saving that money!
Yes, I understand, I wish one day I can sail on the open sea,ocean!
Fantastic video! One question. How much money should I have when I pull into the Marquesas? I looked into vacationing in the Galapagos a few years back and you about needed a permit to pee on the Island. Is it really that resrtictive?
