@@shawni321 Lived in Kauai for a year or so, became a decently good sufer out there. But to all you who go out to the ocean for vacation let me share this bit of advice because it might save your life. NEVER underestimate the ocean, and NEVER turn your back on it. Watched helicopters fly back n forth for 3 days looking for a guy who got swept off the rocks. He had a wife and kids and they watched him float away. They never found him. Stay safe! its fun just dont underestimate it. IT was also crazy big swells that week big wave guys flying in from all over the world. With that much water moving around it creates crazy currents. IF there are waves there is a current.

@@tribeofjosepht.i.community9977 that's probably why there are so many shipwrecks along the atlantic coast. so much lost commerce. so many lost souls. sorry - but we'll just disagree. the earth is mapped by inches today. the weather is watched by the second. every inch of the ocean is mapped topographically . then - nobody knew about the gulfstreams or much less where the land masses were. the sexton and compass required more knowledge to use efficiently - but are not nearly as effective and accurate as gps real time positioning down to less than 30 feet world wide. today we have boats like these that a man and woman can get in and cross the ocean alone. then - there was no way 2 people could operate a boat that would possibly be capable of an ocean crossing. now - if you're off course - you can tell in a few minutes. then - it took hours to figure out you were hours off course. technology is not an excuse to surrender knowledge or skill, but it sure makes things a lot easier and more efficient.

@HIGHWAYATMIDNIGHT 4 года назад

It’s an incredible feeling being on a small vessel under 30ft in a big swell. Your stomach drops every time the waves peak, as your ship rolls down and slams into the next set. Ground you used to cover in an hour, now takes many hours. Time feels as if its slowed down and even brave seaworthy men become doubtful and sick. And just when you thought you saw the worst of it, the sea continues to baffle you and gets even worse. It’s amazing how fast the weather can change at sea. You must always respect the ocean and become humble knowing that you’re at her mercy.

@jimdias7829 4 года назад

Experience only enhances ability. These waves are big enough for that crew and that boat to be rightfully careful. When waves break in aft cockpits depending on their angle they can skew a boat around beam to those breaking waves, and that Dan put her on her beam ends faster than the auto pilot can respond. I know , and it ain't comfortable when your house is laying sideways long enough to wonder when she's coming back up. Hats off to these two young sailors sharing their experiences.

@Ivar_Kahrstrom 4 года назад

I’m a voluntary sea rescuer in the SSRS, Sweden. We were out yesterday in waves that at the most reached probably around 2,5-3m. We lost one rear mirror, 3 wiper blades and on a couple of occasions, water splashed in through the front door. Makes you respect the sea! The alarm that we and two other boats were out on, that the two others who were stationed further north ended up taking care of, was about a sail boat with 3 people onboard. They had gotten stuck in some fishing equipment, so as soon as they were still, the boat aligned with the waves, so you start rolling. When you’re in that state, sea sickness is not far away. Stay safe out there people, wear your life jacket, and support your local SAR task force - many times it consists of volunteers and is funded on donations entirely!

I have heard too many complaints about the infernal noise that a halyard can make, ruining any chance of that so essential sleep. The second thing is how brilliant a mod was it to replace the companionway door with the perspex !

Kika says: I reallly don't like these waves. Are we going to die? Dan says: Were OK. I'm going to take a nap now. But what he's really thinking is "If I'm going to die I want it to happen in my sleep."

@marcryvon 4 года назад

I don't think so. Dan is a tough cookie. He knows his boat throughout and it's capabilities. He's not a chicken shit, far from it !!

@@marcryvon I kind of know the feeling, one is keeping a brave outlook, just to make the other half comforted. But deep down he knows the reality, that these conditions are not to be taken lightly. His mind is constantly thinking of what he might have done better when prepping the boat. Good experience gained, to make the boat even better in future.

I sailed down 30 foot waves in the N. Pacific in October, sailing from Hawaii to Seattle in 1972. The 35' boat's short spade rudder stalled out, so that we sailed straight down the waves at the wave tops, then traversed down the waves, as we sailed down them, ending up 45 degrees at the bottom of the troughs. The wind speed was not so very high, just gale force or strong gale force, but the fetch was from Japan, thousands of miles to windward. Only I was strong enough to steer by tiller. I steered for 36 hours. One wrong move and we would have been broadside to the huge waves, the tops of which were breaking, and rolled, and sunk.

Ahh those waves bring back memories. When the sea looks grey, it looks very daunting as well.

@Outadoors 3 года назад

Great video of serious open water sailing. Makes me happy to think of some of my experiences from the comfort of my bed without getting pictched tossed and rolled about. It is strange even though I can easily remember how scared I was sailing in super rough seas I also miss it.

At age 9 I and my family crossed the Atlantic from Liverpool to New York enroute to Hamilton Ontario. We were aboard the SS Scythia on her final voyage before being scrapped. She had a permanent port list and once we cleared the Irish sea the weather was just like this. I was seasick for the entire voyage, and for most of my career in the Navy. Now that we have our own boat and live aboard that problem seems to have disappeared.
