You two are doing what millions of people only dream about. I’ve been to sea and it’s beyond words in beauty and grandeur. You will never regret doing this.
DITTO ❤
Thank you so much! We really appreciate this! We have so many incredible people cheering for us on this journey. 💙
I cry when I see them , it’s just them and the sea….no words can describe ….
What you said is all true. My wife and I cruised for 3 years on our beloved “Simplicity”. That was over 20 years ago and we still talk about our cruising life as if it was yesterday.
I watch TV shows while I'm at sea alot of the time.
I do it solo so key to me is having a really good ais.

Great video guys.. Thank you for sharing. Whilst battling the repetitive boredom of the days merging into each other, please take a moment to think about the pleasure you are giving your viewers. Some of us are beyond being able to achieve anything close to what you guys are doing, so we are getting to live some of it through your eyes in the brief videos that form part of your journey. I, for one, am extremely thankful for the contemplative nature of your videos and your journey sharing. Most of my life's years are in the rearview, but with amazing technology you are allowing us to share your journey even when you are so remote. I hope you are very proud of what you have achieved and are still achieving, but also for spreading joy and happiness along the way, enriching not just your own, but your viewers lives. So, thank you.. Sincerely.
Stay Safe! (with love from Spain)
Thank you so much for this comment! Often we found it hard to pick up the camera knowing we are filming the same things day in and out. But we really wanted to capture this experience and be able to share it with everyone. We appreciate everyone supporting us in this journey and we look forward to sharing our landfall video real soon!
Thank you very much for showing me your reality, I love the way you make it simple, fun as it can be and honest...awesome!!!! Your video is still wonderful and very clear which makes it seem like I'm hanging out with you. Life is so cool when we get to see all sides of it and this video was fantastic. For me selfishly it's like a meditation that I get to enjoy with you two. Stay safe and remember what you give us is special, thank you...
Thank you! This is exactly the vibe we like to share. Happy to hear it came through on this video! 💙💙
It kinda sucks when SV Delos releases a video at the same time as you and you’re in it but you’re having a great time at your destination. Takes the wind out of yours. Nice to see that you made it safely (and sane!)
Who?
@@dermos9928 like I said. Sv Delos
Unfortunately our videos are behind real time but yes we have made it safe and sound! Thank you!
I actually like that you include plenty of the “down” time this you experience on the cross ocean journey. Keep up the great work.
Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed this one!
What an adventure! Can't wait to see your next video when you guys make landfall!
Thank you! We are really looking forward to sharing that video with you!
Such a grand adventure!! You’re doing a great job with the storytelling these past months. From long, challenging days in the yard preparing the boat, to provisioning and then all the ups and downs of an epic passage, you’ve been able to capture it so beautifully. Truly exceptional and beautiful!! Can’t wait to see LAND in the next ep. Congrats and well told!❤
Thank you, Brian! We really appreciate it! Happy to hear you are enjoying our channel and we are also looking forward to sharing Land Ho! 🙌⛵
Love your show, we're new to your channel but here to stay
Hi Chris! Welcome :) thank you!
Gary & Brooke, you guys are truly an inspiration… I’m only one subscriber, but I think it is safe for me to say that all of your subscribers, friends and fans alike are all behind you on your journeys… hang in there you guys! ❤
Thank you so much, Eric! We appreciate you guys cheering us on out here!
Great to see high spirits. Been traveling solo for 6 months, my companionship is watching people like you 😂 appreciate the freedom to live an extraordinary life and someone to share it with
Thank you! Wow, solo! Good on you! We can't imagine how difficult solo must be. Kudos!
Hey guys! Good to hear from y’all again!!
Thank you! We are behind on editing but hope to have more videos coming your way soon!
Oh yes, we watched you guys yesterday and this morning we watched Delos and saw Gary swimming with the rays - so cool! Next up is seeing what Grace and Bill are up to in Vancouver. Keep going - we are learning so much about the world from you all.
Thank you, David! We just watched the Vancouver video so good! We miss Bill and Grace!
It would have been a game changer having Bill & Grace buddy boating with you on the crossing, hopefully they will catch up soon enough next year 👍 😉
I watch aboutv6bor 7 sailing channels and enjoy them all.My personal opinion is you guys and one life should get the cruiser award
You did most of the repairs on the dry . the 2 of you. Then you provisioned and sailed 3 thousand miles by yourselves. I applaud the 2 of you. Im sure its hard on all but you did it. No disrespect to the other channels
Thank you so much, Char! 💙 Yes, some days aren't easy but we make it through! It's a very incredible experience to share with just the two of us.
Another groovy episode. You capture the joy and the drudgery of day to day life on such a long passage. Stay safe and stay healthy.
Thank you! We look forward to sharing our landfall video!
Thanks for sharing, great Journey!
Thank you for joining us!
I have never crossed an ocean; I have always thought it would be very challenging. Getting into the mental and physical routine without going crazy. I admire you two, you're doing what many of us have only dreamed. Also, those who single hand oceans, my respect. Eventually you will be calling LAND HO. Fabulous video.
Thank you, Bob! It is extremely challenging but also extremely rewarding. We appreciate you coming along with us on this journey and we look forward to sharing our next video when we make land ho! 🙌
Thanks for posting these videos. This particular series, the crossing of the Pacific, feels like a very intimate look into your personal lives onboard as you're undertaking such an extraordinary journey. Even though what you're showing is just the mundane stuff that you're going through, its still very exciting to watch as it provides real insight into what this would be like to do, and I can't wait to do this myself, though I'm still probably a couple of years out from taking the plunge. Thanks again and bon voyage for this journey, and all of life's journeys ahead.
Hi Tony! Thank you! Happy to hear you are enjoying our Pacific crossing vids! Sometimes it's tough to pick up a camera to film all the boring stuff that goes on but it's all part of the experience. Hope you can get out here one day soon to experience it yourself. Cheers! 💙
Just saw you with SV Delos!!
Glad all is well for you.
Thanks, Dennis! Yes, our videos are behind real time unfortunately!
I think I might be naked for three weeks if it were me. "Laundry? We don't need any stinking laundry."
Haha this is true!
So glad you guys are safe and sound!
Thank you! We appreciate you coming along with us!
Just know you guys are not alone and there is allot of viewers like us cheering you on. We are grateful for you sharing these personal moments.
Thank you very much! We really appreciate all the support! 💙
One of the most honest and truthful, real sailing videos i've seen. Sail on.
Thank you, Donald! We really appreciate your comment!
I know you guys feel like this journey is torture.. but I must tell you that as someone that works a 9-5 and only adventures on weekends, holidays and vacations... you 2 have some very very very precious time together that few people on the earth have.
Yes, we are extremely fortunate to be out here traveling together! The challenges and struggles are worth every minute.

Did Gary shave his beard for Neptune? Spectacular new look. I know shaving is a drudge, but... youre looking so good!
Yes, he sure did! No more hair Gary! Well sorta his man bun survived the equator crossing!
Thanks for the great video. What a journey you are having! Can't wait to see you make landfall. 💗
Thank you, Lois! We are looking forward to sharing our landfall video with you and the start of our adventures in French Polynesia!
Gary & Brooke, I’m going to order you guys a dozen large Round Table pizzas one of these days… any toppings you want! 🍕😀👍
Haha aww, looking forward to it! Pizzzaaaaaa! 🥳🍕💙⛵
I absolutely love how Brooke puts her thoughts out here so raw and real !!! Total honesty is hard to sadly come by now.
But I really look forward to every vlog because you never know what these characters are up to now and I love that also !!! You guys are the bestest ! 👍💯😊⛵️
Hey Leanne! Really appreciate this! Ultimately, we are making the videos for us to look back on one day and I want to remember how I was feeling in those moments! Thank you for coming along with us on this journey! 💓
Also just watched ya swim with manta rays and sharks n delos crew!! Glad ya all made it! Lol Fair winds and seas ya all ! Hugs ! Later!!!
Yes! Our videos are behind real time. We arrived safe and sound! Many good times ahead!
Love watching you all explore the world! You all are so courageous and inspirational!
Aw thanks for coming along with us, Eddy!
Congrant’s - saw you on another channel already at destination LOL
Yes, thank you! We have arrived safe and sound! Unfortunately, our videos are behind real time.
One Life!! Getting closer to Delos daily! Can't wait for the reunion.
Thanks, Scott! Our videos are behind real time! You'll be seeing Delos in a couple of our upcoming videos!
Heck Yea! @@SailingOneLife
Good explanation of the night watch and the boat proximity alarms, thank you for sharing
Glad you liked that!
Two people whom love and support each other,it's amazing what y'all can do! ❤️👍
Thank you! It's amazing what a bit of teamwork can do!
Love you guys. Keep up the dream.
Thanks, Mark! We really appreciate that!
Glad you guys are safe. What a journey! Love & light from Cape Town.🌸🎉💕
Thank you for the good vibes from Cape Town!
Watching this episode from my very first sail boat! Thanks for the the videos as they helped push me over the edge and into the deep blue seas.
Woohoo! So happy to hear this! Saw your message and we will reply soon! Hope you are having a great time on the big blue!
Catching up... and this has been a wonderful binge session! Thank you.
Thanks, Rick! Glad you are enjoying our Pacific crossing videos :) love all your comments, too!
Your doing something epic, a massive sail after been on the hard in Mexico for so long. Great to see all the upgrades are performing well.
Keep up the good work. Love your UA-cam channel.
Thanks, Paul! Really appreciate it! It's been an epic year for us!
I have spent a few days at sea at a time on 100’ fishing boats offshore in the Pacific and I am always amazed at the feelings of isolation. Then, when I return to civilization I am amazed at how much noise there is everywhere in the city. Anyway, love this series. You guys are an inspiration.
Hey Julian! It's a feeling hard to describe, isn't it? We always feel so overwhelmed when we get to busy ports. Glad you enjoyed this series! Cheers!
Thanks you 2 for another awesome episode of your pacific crossing!!! Enjoy guy's and safe travels 👍
Thanks so much! We appreciate you coming along with us, Danny!
Glad it's been relatively smooth sailing. You're going to sleep soundly once you drop anchor! Yay for pizza!🍕
Thank you! We will not complain about an uneventful passage!
Thank you for spreading out your passage over a bunch of episodes - what seems boring to you is actual very interesting to watch! I appreciate that it may not have always been easy to take out the camera and film!
Thank you! Happy to hear you are enjoying the passage episodes. It wasn't always easy to film and lots of time we felt like we were filming the same stuff day in and day out but we really wanted to capture these moments to share with everyone and also for ourselves to look back on one day! 💙
Just a bit of good news, I just watched Delos and you made it just fine. You might have even still had your sanity. I enjoy following along your journey and look forward to your arrival.
Hi Denis! Thank you! Yes, we arrived safe and sound and we were able to hang out with Delos for a bit!
Another day!!!! You guys are on the downhill slide now. Stay safe and thanks for taking us along.
Thanks, Dennis! Appreciate all the good vibes you always send our way!
Congrats on all your hardwork to have the boat ready for all the Pacific challenges - just sent you a few bucks through your website for celebration on shore - also Love the Sailing One Life water bottle. A little pricy but so is the cost of single use plastic! Thanks for making a difference a bought one to support you and less plastic - you guys are awesome and real. I am a delivery skipper and know the range of emotions between awe and anxiety - your channel does a great job communicating these highs and lows but in the end if you love the ocean its all good!
Hi David! Thank you so much! That was so nice of you! Not sure if you saw our comment on Venmo but wanted to thank you here as well. We really appreciate it and we are looking forward to a nice dinner out! The water bottles are a bit pricey but you are right, the filter saves equivalent to 500 single use bottles so well worth the initial cost of the bottle and replacement filter. Thanks for cheering us on out here!
Great episode, I was sad when it ended I was really getting into it, keep up the great work, kids, cheers!
Thanks, Donald! We appreciate you coming along with us! See ya for the next one when we make landfall!
I say this with nothing but love in my heart...I told ya so.
But you did it. You made it. We thank you for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you for coming along with us! We appreciate all the support! 💙
We all appreciate you allowing us to tag along on your journeys! This was absolutely a cruiser’s episode that shouldn’t be missed. Sometimes it’s hard to find stuff to do out on the water. Y’all managed to make it fun!! See you in next week’s video when hopefully you make landfall.
Thank you for coming along with us! We are looking forward to sharing our landfall episode! 💙🙌
Fantastic video. Your true emotions showed. Anxious to see when you explore all the great places!!!!
Hi Ma and Pa Booger! Thank you! Happy to hear you enjoyed this video! Love ya guys! 💙
It's all fun and games until it becomes a port and report job for weeks on end.
You get to eat, stand watch, sleep, then rinse and repeat as long as you are at sea. Especially in the Pacific, you have to watch your ass every minute.
The Navy used to pay me to do that and I did it for 10 years (actual shipboard time). You couldn't get me on a boat in those water to save your life now.
Wow, 10 years! Thank you for your service! 💛
You’re such a trooper Brooke…you won the lottery with this lady Gary 🤗
Aw, thanks! 🥰
Ok.. You guys are tough. No pepperoni on your pizza.
I can't imagine.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I saw 14 to 16 nts in your wind guage... Perfect trade wind sailing. Well done you two.
😂😂 we actually had pepperoni onboard but couldn't be bothered digging it out.
Chef's tip I learned from a great cook. If cutting on a cutting board and you don't want it to slip or making things that are sliding around is an issue... wet a towel slightly damp and place it under cutting board or surface. Nothing will slide on that friction... love following your journey! Fair winds and following seas!
Thanks, Josh! A few other people have mentioned this as well! We will try on future sails!
Ah! it is good to see a new and refreshed video of the lazy voyage over the pacific. I cannot imagine doing this for any reason whatsoever. However, it has been a favorite of mine to watch this epic and memorable journey.
Thank you! Glad you are enjoying our Pacific Crossing series. We look forward to sharing landfall with you next time!
I love the sound a deep sea reel makes when you hook a fish.
We love it too!!! Zingggggggg! Fish on!
I hit that current going west when I noticed the GPS longitude was increasing! Headed north to get out of it the resumed course. It was like wtf
1 until it hit me. Pretty funny to be sailing backwards
Ooof we have been there before! Not fun! 😂
Very cool...
Thanks, Matt!
Its been a while just wandering if all is well . Love your vidios
Hi Nigel! Thanks for checking on us. All is well, just behind on editing because of all the sailing we've been doing. Our next video is in progress and we hope to have it out soon. 💙
Sorry, I wrote the previous note earlier in the video, before you mentioned how hard Gary had been trying to catch a fish. Have you tried Rapala Lures? Surface and diving types may help in the future. Good luck.
Hey Michael! Yes, we've tried several different Rapala lures. We think we were going to slow?
The shavingf must have been enough fun to keep doing it. Hair next?
LOL everyone wants the man bun gone!
Whooooooo Pizza !! 🍕🍕🍕
Pizza party at sea!! Woooop!
Time to invest in a (noisy) wind generator, and maybe the expensive hydro vane, that trails behind and charges your batteries.
Agreed, we would love a wind genny and hydro vane! Maybe for our next refit!
Woohoo!! Another awesome episode! The pizza looked amazing! Just as good as the pizza I had last night! 😜
🤣🤣😘😘 🥳🤩
What a nice video! Really enjoyed hearing you describe how you spend your time. I also enjoyed seeing the waves and beautiful blue water. A great reminder of our "passage" from Hawaii to French Polynesia a couple of weeks ago. Other than the boat being over 900 feet long and cruising at a relatively constant 20+ knots, our trip was the same as yours ... 😂🤣. Stay safe. All the best...
Hey Steve! Ha yes, same same! You were only a tad faster! 😂 I'm guessing you had slightly better dinners as well! 😜
Always good to see you and happy everything is going well. Saw you on the last episode of Delos as well. Ed
Hey Ed! Ah cool! Yeah it was good to see those guys again! Hope you are doing great! 💙
Good or bad times you are living your dream. How awesome that is. Thanks for the videos
100%! We are incredibly fortunate! Thank you! 💙
Awesome job guys
Remember the journey and the destination are one
Thank you! 100%! 💙⛵
Good episode, thanks from Gary, British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Wow - you guys are troopers! I don't know if I could do that long of a passage.
Thank you! Ha, yeah it was a bit challenging at times.
Funny what you start craving. I started obsessing over making a peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich! Couldn’t wait to get ashore to make one. Never did.
PB and Mayonnaise?! Interesting! Haven't heard of that combo before!
Another great video
Thank you, Travis!
Thanks!
Oh wow, Scott! Thank you! 💙
nice video ! you guys are very brave and adventurous ! congratulations to this crossing !
Thank you, Ursula! 🥰
The boat and the sails look great!!
Thank you so much! We put a lot of love into our floating home!
Well done guys, that's a long time out at sea with just the two of you. Yay, pizza day, looked delicious. Love the vlog :)
Thank you! Yes, just the two of us had its challenges. Can't imagine doing it solo!
We the people with (one life )love you guys .
Thanks, Stan! 💙⛵
Great video guys.
Can’t wait to see your next video and LAND!!🙏😎🥰🥰
Thank you! We are super excited to share French Polynesia and beyond with you!
@@SailingOneLife
Thanks for the reply.
I’m super excited to see your next video!👍🥰🏴
Great video
Thank you, Thomas!
Great video you guys are great
Thank you, David! 🥰
Hey Brooke and Gary, outstanding video. Thanks for the night watch synopsis. Great safe practices 👍. Yogurt with granola and pizza, with a Drift Creek chaser 🫣…all time favorites 🚜🇺🇸. Cheers 🥂 😊
Hi Trent! Glad you enjoyed this one! Speaking of Drift Creek, I just realized it's the perfect time of year to get out the cinnamon syrup for a nice touch! Apple pie cinnamon moonshine sundower! Yum!
I have spent weeks at a time on a boat, keep a routine, work on the boat during the day and rest at night.
Regarding headaches|migraines I believe excessive UV exposure can lead to this; I feel necessary to indicate here that this is different from migraine triggered simply from light/optic eye sensitivity. Good hat, good sunglasses, long-sleeve plain white shirt and white pants-- these things may help.
Thanks for the info! We can definitely see how UV exposure can cause health issues.💙
Super exciting! The boatyard seems soooo long ago.
I know! Wild to think about, isn't it?
Wao what an epic journey. Both are brave and valiant. Please keep safe.
Thank you, Angel! 💙 Hope you are doing great!
Love you guys
Thanks for the love! 💙
Keep the faith!
Thank you! 🥰💙
Since we are not with you guys in the day - to - day stuff i wish you good sanity in the knowledge that many want to be where you are........this boy in particular. 🎉❤🎉 Thought this episode was gone to be " land ho! " Will be looking forward till next episode. 😊 See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
Hi Richard! Land ho, next time! We look forward to sharing that with you! Cheers! 💙🙌⛵🍻
Awesome trip, hope you catch a tuna soon.
Thanks, Brian!
I have totally enjoyed your adventure.
Best wishes
Thank you for coming along with us, Doug!
I was on a transit crossing on huge Royal Caribbean cruise ship from Barcelona to New Orleans and our 9 days at sea between the Canary Islands and the Bahamas seemed like forever. I can't even imagine how it would feel on a small sail boat and for a much longer time
That sounds like a fun trip! Ha, yeah probably a bit of a different experience than on a 40 ft sailboat. We were certainly ready to stop moving and step on solid ground!
What the hick you doing out there, haha , funny 😄 😂
😂
Amazing 🤩
Thanks, Tammy! 💙
😀👍👍👍❤ Hello again from Seattle, WA. Thank you for episode # 112.
Hi Thomas! Thank you! Hope you enjoyed it.
Those long crossings are great for crafts! I learned to cross-stitch on my first major crossing. =)
Ah great idea! Maybe I'll load up on some goodies for our next long one.
Aagh well done guys - blue water sailing - two emotions bored sh*tless - or scared.. enjoy the process. Proud of what you are doing..you will be there soon.
Thanks, Dirk! Really appreciate you cheering us on all these years! 🙌⛵
You guys are having a great sail and keep fishing with a big ass lure !!
Thank you, Brian!
Awesome
Thanks, Erich!
Hey, you're still smiling with only 450 miles to go. I think you've been a trooper.
Hahaha, thanks! At the 450 mile mark I think we were both delirious.
@@SailingOneLife Quitters never win and winners never quit.
@@jamesolson807 ❤️
Nice one Gary and Brook. Too bad you had no sun for a good part of the trip. Well not enough for the solar power. Unfortunate about the fish. I guess Parlay must have baited the waters lol. I am pretty sure Brian from Delos caught a few. You were buddy boating with them right?
Well good thing sun is out for the last 4 or 5 days so making water and showering shouldn't ne a problem.
Pizza looked delicious. Sail safe catch your next video next week my time .
It was a bummer about not having much sun. Thankful we have the generator onboard. Yes, we did buddy boat with Delos and have seen Parlay some too! Thanks for watching and catch ya next episode!
@SailingOneLife I know you buddy boated with Delos across Pacigic and met up with Parlay in French Polynesia. If correct, I think there were 3, maybe 4 of you that buddy boated.
Ah no actually we didn't buddy boat with anyone across the Pacific. Delos crossed way ahead of us. Parlay crossed around the same time as us but a few hundred miles apart.
@SailingOneLife wow, I was wrong. Sorry, there are so many other videos I'm trying to keep up lol
