In this 2 part series I sail into New York City Via the Hudson River coming from Toronto Canada on my way to the Bahamas. Find out what its like to be here on a sailboat.
Thanks Doug. Big challenge next for me is Cape Hataras!! Inside or out it's a big deal. I'm in chicateage heading for Norfolk in the morning.. thanks for commenting!
Man, I can feel the anxiety of leaving your dinghy like that, but then if we can't, we'd never see anything. I like that fact that you're sharing what you're feeling "being free" to go anywhere (almost) and how you remind yourself that you're realizing a dream. I'm in Hawaii for 21 yrs now and pinched myself very often about how incredible it is here, but I'm flying out for good in a few days to do what you're doing, starting off in Guatemala. See you out there!
When I was an armchair sailor I tried to find sailing channels that showed life out there like it really is. I really couldn't find any. So I've gone out and tried to show it as it is. And in videos to come I show the real deal through thick and thin. I really appreciate you commenting. Thanks. Fair winds! see you in Guatemala!
Great to see that you’re wearing your PFD being solo. I wish you had installed Jack lines and clipped yourself in whenever going forward. If you fall overboard, your boat is just gonna keep going and going and going and going and going
Ok, a couple of things. 1) was the pizza as good as they say? 2) you’re cooking up bacon quite often. Is it Canadian bacon or real bacon? 3) that fact you gave about your boat would sink over that geyser of air was astonishing! Makes total sense but still astonishing. Happy sailing and way to go not getting stuck in shallow water on this episode.
Buoyancy, yep. Our 52fter was ferrous cement, people ask me how can that float? I answer, how does steel float? Yep buoyancy, using the displaced water from your hull to allow water molecules to support it. ... 😂 BUT!, ....no buoyancy if those molecules are surrounded with air., them you go down, down, down, like a stone. Wow, yes get out of there. Like and sub guys🙏👍⛵
Wow so expansive marinas.. do you use Navily? Maby the app didnt exist when u made this vid. It really helps me finding anchorage 😊 i like your comp setup. Do you game? Great vid🎉
Im using a Garmin chart plotter. Upon review yes it was a danger bouy. Lessons learned the hard way!! I'm paying a bit more attention to chart details now..
Terrific cinematography. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
Best Episode yet. Bahamas or bust !
Man, I just can believe, you made to New York…
Believe you are not alone is this passage.. Ever Buddy is with you!
Thanks Cap. I'm in Virginia heading to Norfolk.. Chincoteague.. big long passage south tomorrow.. lots of videos soon.. fair winds!
Checking off the boxes. Congratulation Michael.

Great vids. Thoroughly enjoying it. Very inspiring and informative for someone dreaming the same dream. Keep it up brother.
Thanks brother
Such an incredible journey. Glad your boat didn't sink in the Geiser.
Things get tense in videos to come. I isn't easy out here! Thanks for commenting!!

The pizza was bliss!! And yes Canadian Bacon!! Lol. Thanks for commenting
for anyone doing the Hudosn, in future, contact me. I know the rviver intimately (tides, anchorages, places to go, etc)

Peekskill: That was a white Danger Buoy. Not an anchorage. Stay safe. Using Navionics or similar?

Chart detail and pre planning a daily sail is critical at all times
