These are the most useful transatlantic videos we have ever seen. So useful to have you describing your daily life and how you have prepared. Keep them coming - hope your viewings grow and you continue after the passage. - 5 stars.
Thank you for the kind words! I am glad you are finding the videos helpful! Trying to give an honest view of what a crossing is like. No over dramatisation or anything. Just showing the boring, mundane and sometimes exciting times.
Watching your channel for the first time, blown away by the vastness of the ocean, trying to figure out where that place could be. Then, out of nowhere, you opened the locator, and I spotted the name of my city on the map. With the Atlantic being so huge, I never would’ve guessed you were that close at that moment. Happy new year!
That is pretty cool, small world indeed! Where are you from. And close is all relative in the ocean. I’m still about 300-400km away from nearest land 😅
@Boatlifeisbest Yeah, I meant close enough for me to spot it on the map haha. I'm from Recife, northeast Brazil. Keep it up, man. What you're doing is awesome.
It is a jeanneau sun legende 41. Heavily modified for long term cruising. Yes i have different alarms set if a Boat comes within range. There is a boattour here, but since then there have been lots of additions to the boat like the solar arch and hydrovane. ua-cam.com/video/Hm0pNTfuqGA/v-deo.htmlsi=6fTExSWpdwuiDRdE
Hey could you snap a cellphone shot of your camera / tripod / gear when in process of recording? Post to zippyimage or something and link so we can see? One of the things that's quite pleasant about your work is the image quality. Gear know-how and technique for such small spaces is underappreciated. Safe travels.
Actually it is just my iPhone 12 Pro Max handheld or just squeezed in a corner somewhere 😅 quality of phone cameras has gotten so good these days. Only other cameras used in some other videos for the 360 shots is the insta 360 one r. That’s it.
@@Boatlifeisbest Really, wow. Using wide angle settings? Also, editing software of choice? And are you doing color correction / enhancement? The clarity on shots of waves is impressive.
Just using the different lenses the iPhone has. And mostly the selfie camera. The iPhone does a lot of post processing by itself for image quality and the internal stabilisation is great as well. I even have it set to just 1080p 30fps not even 4K 😅. I edit the videos in davinci pro but just simple cutting. No color correction or other enhancements there.

Cool! My girlfriend is from Recife. We will be there for Carnaval this year!
@@Boatlifeisbest No way, the world really is small! Enjoy the carnival and the city, it's gonna be amazing. All the best to you guys.
Kiwi with the skin is the best!
Do you sleep through the night or do you check for shipping now and again?
In short: it depends on conditions. Have a look at vlog#11 where I go more into depth on watch keeping as a solo sailor.
I couldn't find the info... What kind of boat do you have ? and will there be an alarm if you're sleeping and a boat comes on your radar ?

If you are interested in watch keeping and safety watch vlog# 11 and 13. I explain it in more detail there.
