I needed a personal challenge. Sailing solo from Newport, RI, to Bermuda, was definitely out of my comfort zone, and I wasn't sure if it was a good idea.
My goal was to get there in one piece and to find out what happens in my head when I'm alone in the ocean. It was an amazing experience and I hope to do more solo sailing/racing.

Yeah, I find myself wanting to watch this video again. Something about solo sailing.

Great footage, perfect camera angles and a soundtrack as smooth as the sea at 2:35. The usual stuff from Blur, in other words! Thanks for taking us along on the journey and congrats on this great achievement!

Nicely done Peter. Brings back lots of memories of the race. The start, the fog, the GS and the joy of the finish. Great to meet you and hope to see you on the race course next year - Phil sv Fearless

Thank you so much for helping out and inspiring me along the way. People like you are the reason I love solo and shorthanded sailing. I'll reach out when I'm back in the US:

Great sailing, well done! It's already quite a handful managing the boat but you also managed to capture great footage!

This is great. She looks like she's a blast to sail.

@PeterGustafsson 11 месяцев назад

A blast. And a handful sometimes 🤣

Offshore alone with an open transom.

@seanrhone5306 Год назад

Looking to do this race in 2025!

@PeterGustafsson Год назад

Can really recommend it. It's a wonderful community and everyone is very helpful. let me know if I can help out in any way; peter@blur.se,

@danstanford3071 Год назад

Awesome story and the commentary makes it easy to put us there. Thanks so much for making this video, I found myself wondering how much effort setting the camera was in some of those shots!

@PeterGustafsson Год назад

You always need more different perspectives when editing, so something I am trying to get better at this, The "poor mans drone" = long carbon stick taped to the pushpit 🙂

@barrymccrae7242 Год назад

Well done Peter, fantastic achievement, you must be really pleased. And what was the verdict afterwards - never again - or now that you have had time to dwell on it, perhaps, maybe again.

@PeterGustafsson Год назад

I said before the race, "I hope I hate this" since that would have made my life easier. But I loved it and would like to do it again. Sadly, the next edition in 2025 is at the same time as Transpac, which has been at the top of the bucket list for a while.

such a nice video!

great video

@billedgecombe9040 Год назад

wow I can actually feel the excitement

@baxternauset Год назад

Great job Mate. Those of us from the area know that cap is a Red Sox cap, not a "B" for Blur - but it works both ways.

@PeterGustafsson Год назад

I know. Boston is one of my favorite cities, so sailing out of Newport is convenient. Hopefully, I get to catch a game in 2024.

@jamesmcn0000 Год назад

You make soloing the 111 look easy!

@MTSail 5 месяцев назад

The nice thing is the J/111 was designed for minimal crew, no excuse for the years pf experience though

@anttilehtinen9460 9 месяцев назад

Nice video, but one question came to mind. Have you ever considered attaching your harness in the middle of the boat, so that you can not fall overboard. Now if you fall overboard you will potentially have a slow and painful death?

@PeterGustafsson 9 месяцев назад

I usually clip in to windward with a short tether.
