    First time i see someone that has the same reaction about swimming in the sea like that, also nice to see that you had a rope tied to yourself. I dont understand sailors that just jump in like nothing and without a rope.

    Awesome adventure! You are very brave to tackle a crossing in a small sailboat like this. I dream of doing something like this. So cool…and good job overcoming your deep water fear and going for a swim. Looks like you took the right precautions. Looking forward to more small boat adventures.

    Hey Nicolas, sehr inspirierend! Ocean sailing on small boats interests me a lot and your videos are among the best on that issue!
    I am currently thinking of a "3/4 life-crisis boat" and downsizing seems the more charming way to go. Danke und alles Beste!!

    I totally understand you, why you didn't go swimming. Your small boat ⛵ in the ocean 🌊 is your safe spot, being ever so small and you in the ocean even smaller.
    A line dancer on a complete line consisting of say 100 fibers, why would she be satisfied with only 10 fibers?
    _AND you did it_ .

      I have a short wave ssb radio and a weather fax app ... it works allright to get a overview of the weather situation ... with a small boat on the northatlantic I wouldnt go without a Satelliten messenger (inreach) to confirm routing options with a land based crew :P

      I actually googled this.
      You can get updated weather info using shortwave as the transmitting device. So even w/out internet you can receive data (weather data at least) even in the middle of the ocean - amazing! 👍
