Hey kid, beautiful vessel, you can tell you’re a competent and knowledgeable skipper however, you are making this old man nervous. Your parents would sleep better at night if you were to stay one step ahead of Murphy by following safety protocols. You only have one life to lose and trust me when I tell you when Murphy comes he does so with speed, surprise and violence of action. Great video, keep them coming 🤙🏼
Yep, was thinking a safety harness or life jacket with an EPIRP may be in order. But other than that good video, I will be following your journey with a little envy.
Loved it ! But please your got me all nervous , you don’t strap yourself , don’t be over confident ,safety first ! Looking forward to see you adventures !
I knew I'd find this comment here. But, seriously, at those speeds your boat is gone if you fall off. No matter how well you swim... strap in buddy. Loved the video, though.
@@KesselUnderway-mv8ih couple buddies of mine made a climbing documentary called "Safety Third." One died a couple years later because of safety complacency.
No Shit…..living dangerous. I did a transpac race. We NEVER went on deck at night without being clipping on life line…..if you hit the water, your a dead man. Awesome trip. Be safe man……
A harness would be good to have if a large wave tries to knock you overboard. I have to watch the angry bird revenge a couple times. Be safe. Enjoy the rainy shower when they arrive. 🙂
Please remind us what vessel you are sailing in occasional videos. No youtubers ever do. Would like to know in case we want to purchase a seaworthy boat!! Ty. Linus Lives!!
Well done, young man. I’ve been following sailing channels for years and you’re already off your a great start. No ridiculous music, widget shilling, intro, etc. kept my attention the entire time. It was really nice to hear you thank your dad. My entire channel has been centered around showing up for my kids. They’re finally grown, so I get to cross oceans next. ⛵️ Subscribed.
Well done on keeping the energy up to stay filming, I remember getting so tired that you're just kinda drunk and running on reserve. Was a great vid after all the effort you made to capture that for us, bravo! Looking forward to a few more 👍
Our dearest Peter: We are so proud of you. I am glad sailing brought us together all those years ago and we have so many memories on and off the water. To watch you tackle this passage with what can only be described as "Peter force" is a privilege and we are so glad we could be there through the projects, the mental highs and lows and cheer you on from your starting line. I am so glad Starlink continued to keep us connected so I could still be your night watch buddy from all those miles away and look forward to seeing where Kessel takes you next. Sail on, Ocean Cowboy. We love you! xoxoxo Missa, Chris and Cleocat
When one accidentally has too much sail up in a strong wind or a squall rather than battle it, it is best to just ‘heave too’ to calm everything, have a rest and a think; then go head to wind and double reef both sails, otherwise it gets unnecessarily scary and things break.
Hi Man. Without any doubt and I am convinced that a Hans Christian or a Lord Nelson will take you anywhere, the stability is great with that solid weight moving water, from the wake I could calculate by eye that you did not go below 6 knots, I imagine that that Christian boat can reach 7.5 ina touch I have a list of 20 blue water sailboats between 36 and 41 feet, H.Christian and L. Nelson continue in the first two seats. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This passage was great. P.S. Get your mind used to seeing the positive in ALL things during your trip. Do not allow any circumstance to change you, you must be the one to change each circumstance. VERY GOOD, EXCELLENT.
As a new viewer you need an episode that tells your story… are you just new to sailing or sailing around the world.. let us know your truth. Enjoyed what I’ve seen so far. Thx!
Great video - raw blue water footage from single hand ocean crossing. Your boat, your live, your decissions! I´ll spare you with my thougts, or advice on safety at sea. We all learn from our mistakes, but some mistakes come with a high price. Keep on sailing and enjoy life.
I hope you drag a line attached to a 'kill switch' of some sort, like the autopilot. I'm glad you and your Dad put in all that energy and you get to be out there finally. I enjoyed it.
Magical, both the trip and the editing style. I was inspired by this crossing very much. Keep doing what you’re doing and you might have a top 10% sailing channel. I smell greatness in the making.
Follow what you love. Not sure I could venture so far from land into the depths of the pacific in a small sailing boat. So for that, thank you. Far more comfortable watching from shore 😂 I went overboard once and realised how very hard it is to get back on. That was with people still onboard. I would be walking round with a safety rope or harness in those deep seas, especially sailing alone
I admire the courage and determination of making this voyage, but not the disregard of safety gear as a solo sailor. This does not set a good example for your viewers.
Your lack of safety gear is giving me an ulcer. Obviously you lived. - but this is anxiety inducing. You're too young to drown !! - strap in. Tie down the stuff in that boat. Omg. Awesome dude.
Really happy I found your channel, I appreciate your video format not including excessive music but instead focusing on what's important -you and your sailing. I will admit though from time to time I got a little apprehensive seeing you without a lifeline. Be safe and fair winds.
What a perfect video to capture life at sea! This was similar to the crossing we made three years ago from PV to Hawaii. We all make our own choices in life, and I won't dwell on this, but it wouldn't break my heart to see you clipped in to a jackline. Even with my First Mate onboard, we clip in whenever going forward. Anyways, be safe and i look forward to your future videos! SV Jean Anne, 1986 Lord Nelson 35.
Wow... very enjoyable to watch (except for the aforementioned lack of safety line -- but then I'm in my 70s and nowhere near as coordinated as I once was, so I get it... ). Truly enjoy the lack of background mood-music... keep the wind at yer back 😄
Peter, you are one awesome cool dude and I’m so happy that RU-vid decided to bring your channel to me! I’m your newest subscriber, but not for long. Thanks for sharing yourself with the world.
Those were touching comments regarding the support of your Dad. Your boat is fabulously prepared which keeps the bad times from becoming overwhelming. I have crewed around the Pacific on friends' boats, but never managed to get my own boats prepared for trips past my Hawaiian Islands. I congratulate you on that epic effort. It is so daunting and character-testing. And you were not found to be wanting. If you pass this way, say Hi and we will treat you right.
You're living my dream. Well done! And while I can't argue with the last comment that a harness is probably a damn good idea, I say phuck it- can you think of a better place to meet your maker if the time is right. I've watched too many loved ones wither away in a hospital/assisted living scene. You just go for it brother!
your moving into the spiritual awareness to finding the CREATORS LOVE FOR YOU IN JESUS CHRIST, alone on HIS oceans AND EXPERIANCING HIS GLORY OF POWER AND GENTLENESS ,may you be blessed and safe.
Great video. Echoing my appreciation for no music. Love the video. Be SAFE for your self, those that love you and the people that will search for you should disaster strike. Thank you so much for sharing your adventures!
What an amazing experience and tremendous accomplishment. Thank you for sharing it. You are a very strong man. I look forward to following you. God bless you.
Congrats on pursuing your dream and accomplishing this, seemed like a mental/physical marathon with that weather you had .. I've shared it to a few friends, Its random this video popped up in my algos since we've met in person , I have been occasionally watching a few sailing/ boating channels .. I knew it was you when i saw the PCT2015 on the wall of your cabin lol... Yes, I fixed the white x3 and its still operating .. jeff
Congrats on the accomplishment on this leg of your journey. This video was freaking awesome. I look forward to more. Also, hopefully you don’t mind, but I had a few good laughs as you ranted in frustration and annoyance because that’s definitely something I do. Of course, I never find it funny in the moment.
You have an amazing boat and a lot of people would be more than happy to be where you are. Stay humble and wear a harness. Life is short, and it’s shorter with a rogue wave
Great video dude! Keep up the great work! Look forward to more videos to come! Living that dream! Love to see a walk thru of your boat man! Subscribed. Cheers!
Seriously: Bad. Ass. I used to do solo mountaineering (much of it at night) and thought it was kinda cool. This is way better. Good on you. Strong work.
The waves he surffed dow were wicked. The only way to capture the size of waves is to fly a cheap drone in the trough. I say cheap because you lose them once in a while.
Peter--loved every minute of your video. You captured your range of emotions from the enthusiasm, to exhaustion, and ultimately your joy at waking up in Fatu Hiva -- great stuff! Never boring and always felt honest. Well done. I look forward to following along. Congrats from another Californian.
Live audio instead of pounding music is so good. I suggest you put the year make and model of your boat in every description. I can tell its a Hans Christian 36? or 38?, but imagine the many people who are interested in the same boat, considering it for purchase, and would love to see one in action, not just a broker's crappy photos. I subbed.
Absolutely beautiful boat, man. Hans Christian? The tanbark sails compliment so well. However, for someone who isn’t content with 7 knots on an ocean crossing, you certainly picked the wrong boat lol. That need for speed put you in multiple dangerous situations, especially for a solo sailor. Reef early, sail at 80% and you won’t have these problems. 22 days from Mexico to French Polynesia in such a far boat is crazy fast.
Hey a tips for you sailers. Get a small low cost camera in the mast ore on topp dead senter on ship. Cast it to tv in salong and you can sleep and see tv wake up every houer and see tv and digitale map on ipad ore so. And only need to get out when you really really need to
Peter, I really enjoyed watching this video and remembered a lot of the stories from the daily blog in the predict wind app during the adventure and this brought your writing to life. I loved hearing the wind in this video and watching the sunrise and sunsets. And you catching that big fish and preparing it. So proud of you for pushing through! I miss you and love you. Stay safe and we will be seeing you at some point 🥰⛵️
So cool to watch your journey. Worries me you’re always going forward day and night with no life jacket or life lines. That’s as risky as it is dangerous
Around minute 24 during the storm, not sure why but all I wanted to do was quote scenes from the movie Truman Show when Jim Carrey decided to sail away at the end “is that the best you could do!!!!” 😂😂😂
Great video! Living the dream my friend! I know I'm going to piss off a bunch of people but.... Please, please wear a safety harness and use a safety line. I'd like to follow your adventures for a long time and it would be nice to have you around for a long while! I know you are young and invincible but all it takes is a tired mis-step or rogue wave or even just stumbling over your own feet. Live your life just be safe please :). Looking forward to the next video! Thanks for posting!
Hallo Peter, großen Respekt vor dieser wertvollen Überfahrt. Diese Erfahrung ist ein weiterer großartiger Grundstein für dein Leben. Grüße aus Deutschland
Great video! Birds don't care about green energy ... This trip reminds me of the first time my son joined me for a sail ... the wind was strong the entire trip and now he expects all trips to be at hull speed! Definitely have balls to enter a strange port in the dark. What could go wrong!!! lol
