Hey. Please come to India sometime
Incredible adventure. I wondered if you have seen or experienced anything you cant explain on your adventure? Thanks
@@branchsnapper2228 That's a great question. I am a bit of a know it all but definitely there are endless things I can't explain. I will think more about this. Cheers!
@@shashwatshekhar4831 spoiler alert on my instagram....
@@pinarellosq2868 pc aside, if you or I were someone who didn't identify as a man or a woman, we might think differently, those words can show a lot of respect. Respect shown to someone who doesn't get much can mean the difference between life and death. Just saying :)
It was so chill how that guy helped you get out of the marina and then just dove off the boat and paddled back to the shore
It might have been a first in the history of sailing. :)
@@Routesofchange Looked like he had done that before for did not even think about it..!
Hawaiians do that for fun in surfboards 😅
In the Navy i was stationed in Hawaii. Used to love it when we were out at night, away from land. Seemed like you could reach up and touch a star.
I cycled through the large base there in Kailua. Nice spot to be stationed.
A little tip I heard about was when boating , camping and storing food on long voyages don’t use card board boxes to store food in and take the labels of all your can goods, scrape any remaining glue and crap off the cans and write with a permanent marker on the top of the cans what they are. This will help keep your bug problems down. Especially with cockroaches. They love hiding in boxes and underneath the labels as babies. They eat the glue.
Damn bro that’s gross
Dang i never thought about the glue on the cans
Where they come from ! The boat most of the time is at the deck in water
@@Ukacip i think form heaven 🥺
😂😂😂😂
They also can't read so won't know which one has something good in it.
Great to see this adventure vlog gain the traction it deserves
Thanks for the shoutouts and helping me get here. Here's to adventures!
I’m part of the Kombi Crew, too!
Sailing alone - Always throw out a 50' to 60' tow line attached to a light colored fender bumper.
It could save your life if you happen to fall overboard.
I'd rather have a fishing line in, but I'd certainly recommend that for those who aren't confident with their ability to stay on deck.
I wondered what that line was going off the back of Sam the sailor who sailed to Hawaii solo. Now I know.
@@Routesofchange fishing line is tough to grab
@@Routesofchange Are you stupid or something?
@@floridafishermanpace798 I think it was meant for fishing.
I like how you are leaving the marina using a swimming man with a rope.
I've watched lots of solo sailing vids over the years, and this is now one of my favourites. You make the viewer feel part of the experience with the great film work - the sights, sounds and increasingly crazy commentary! So cool. I look forward to following you on your journey - be well in all ways!
Wow. Thank you. That truly is a wonderful compliment to receive. Please feel free to share it and let others know. That's something that is difficult for me to do myself. Happy sailing!
I live in the Philippines and for nobody knows what reason sailing is not so popular in our country but with more videos like this we may eventually get there.
Cheers! Have you seen this yet? ruclips.net/video/TxD0c7RGgSY/видео.html
as a fellow canadian you had me at "give it a go"
Give er a go mainlander, greetings from Newfoundland
Dude, these videos are not only cool but it's making me think about my life! How to invest my remaining time on planet Earth. Hope that squid made it back to the water OK. Thanks man for making this cool video!
Thank you! Follow your heart brother.
@@Routesofchange im right behind you guys...
This year has reminded me that life is short and tomorrow is not guaranteed. Chase your dreams if you can.
Wow. I have no words. I was writing a poem on sailors and the experience of sailing, that's how I came across this video and now i guess i got my character. I am out words now to appreciate you for this video. Keep going. ❤️
Awesome. I'd love to read it when it's done.
Stuck self isolating watching sailing channels and came across your channel. Wish I came across your channel earlier I live out in Honolulu. Love the channel, stay safe out there, and happy sailing! 🤙🏼
Thanks Ejinio! Tons of adventures still to come and I don't think I'll be able to avoid returning to HI someday. Cheers
As he calmly jumps into the water with his bodyboard and cap, "Later Dude!". Thats fucking awesome! Godspeed@RoutesofChange.
Haha. Cheers!
Tough brave and strange ... that's the vibe I get from you!
I love how it drops in with his wake board and is like later!!!
Thank you for sharing this lovely video bruh
🙏🙏🇲🇭🇲🇭❤️🇲🇭🇲🇭🙏🙏. I was born and raise in Marshall Islands. Your adventure was magnificent 🤟👍🏻🤟. I’m glad you made it safely. I’m going to call you Captain Brave Heart 🙏🙏👍🙏🙏.
Glad you enjoyed it. thanks bruh. You're from a special place! Iakwe!
9:47 is an amazing moment
“Later dude,” swims away
Wow, I can see how one could love the vast ocean ❤️✌️
Thank much for sharing your experience. It has been a a very comforting fresh air of freedom for me since we are in our 62 days of COVID 19 quarentine. It help me to feel much better in these dificult moments. KEEP GOING
You are so welcome!
thats one of the most manly things a guy can do. mad props to you man that takes some stones. way to go.
Thanks man.
You clearly have never head of Ellen MacArthur. She successfully sailed unaccompanied around the world. Props to the this feat though, I think nothing can prepare you for the sheer size of the ocean and loneliness. He seemed to cope pretty well though.
This is the guy google is referring to when you put in walking directions to places across the ocean.
Thanks for an interesting and enjoyable video. Nice to see how u appreciate that beautiful hitch hiking bird.
Glad you enjoyed it.
I love that you are honest about your nerves at the start. I love that you are honest about all your feelings. I love your crazy eyes toward the end of the journey. Thankyou for your honesty and humility. See you out there.
Thank you. I find honesty is very liberating. Much love.
Thanks for taking us along this thrilling voyage. Wish you nice skies and steady winds. Much love and respect from Turkey.
Much love and respect back at you from Rishikesh.
I’m thinking of giving into the wind with no experience, but looking at sailboats now.
I lived on a sailboat in the past docked for about a year and loved it.
I’m wanting to explore the realms of the earth aBroad and feel things are going awry in the United States and I don’t wanna be a part of it!!!
Looks so, so peaceful at sea.
Simply Beautiful
Do it!!!
I'm a fan/sub of La Vagabond, Sailing Uma, SV Delos and a few more and THIS WAS AMAZING!!!
Thank you!
This is awesome. Just had a wonderful morning watching this while I pottered around with the kids, making breakfast and enjoying the calm. Inspiring. Legend.
Thanks mate.
WHAT A JOURNEY. I ENJOY THIS ADVENTURE.
You are living large sans motor. So inspiring to watch your perseverance through change and time. I am Katherine O’s aunt Kim, and wish you safe, long and wonderful journeys. Learning new languages, you are a real “being” in the fullest sense.
Hey Aunt Kim! Thank you. I wish you the best of health and happiness in return.
no way am i jumping in that water by myself in the middle of the ocean
Smart, since sharks often accompany boats 🦈
Unreal man. I grew up in Ajax. I can’t even imagine doing something like this. Good for you!
I played a little lacrosse in Ajax back in the day :) cheers!
we are on constant journey that never ends, it cease when you stop breathing. Whilst there is air , keep running. SALUTE to you dude.
Gracias amigo.
this is awesome man!!! your film style is perfect for people who actually want to see what sailing across an ocean is like. carry on brotha & safe travels!
Thank you. Do keep in mind that the worst times and the toughest times are usually not filmed because I'm too busy surviving or crying. Haha
I also sailed without motor from california, around africa and made it to east coast on 27ft boat, it is also alberg design.
Sweet. When and what design?
bristol 27, this was back in 2015
Kudos to you, bro! And for those who are consider tossing the line and taking off but dont know where to start, sail as crew on some short off shore trips to get a feel for it. But age is not really an issue as long as you are reasonably healthy. Chichester sailed around the world non-stop when he was 65, which was the beginning of the Volvo Ocean Race...
enjoy! My ex did a circumnavigation in the 1980's in a 24' he built (started it when he was 17) * shout out to Pete Palmer in San Diego
Sweet. I wish more sailors would encourage this sort of thing, there's way too many fearmongering clubhouse sailors out there. No offense to them. :)
I watched the whole thing and loved it. You are a brave soul! Thanks for the trip.
Thank you!
39th minute, a Genoa is a big jib, usually gt the foretriangle by some %, sometimes called a 0, or 135% since winds near Genoa are notoriously light, the name had an origin.
he really needs a spinnaker
The 1st few acrobatics you guys did as you got out of the harbour, just proved how hard it is to be a sailor
i love watching this.... sitting here at work wishing to be all on my own for a month in the middle of the ocean... what a journey!
how beautiful must the night skies be out there i wonder... wow :)
yes. very beautiful!
novice sailor: "hey, lets solo sail across the pacific." you got balls, man. kudos! and nice to have cameras with you so you dont feel so crazy talking to yourself ;)
I don't use a depth sounder I just drop my balls overboard to test the depth :) and yes, having cameras is a good excuse for talking to myself/or whoever is in the future watching this!
@@Routesofchange maybe future you. back then people had only photographs and short super8 movies but now, hours and hours of traveling, speaking your thoughts out loud... it will be awesome for you watching this travel vlog in lets say 40 years when you are oooold :) or maybe your children or grandchildren some day.
I don't know if I will ever watch it again. I've spent enough time editing it and I already have an aversion to screens...:)
Anybody else get uncomfortable when he goes swimming and shows the vast blue nothingness...
Reminds me of Subnautica. Shit's scary.
Not gonna lie i felt a little anxious.
Not so much the blueness but the fact that I know his boat is moving and there’s no one on board to turn around for him if he miss calculated
not gonna lie, it is one of my extreme anxiety
i would at least get like a side ladder or something
IT is incredible how you transmit your passion at sailing in your videos. Here a colombian that admires you, i would never be capable to do something Like this. IT is not only about physical strenght but also mental. Regards.
Gracias Santiago, vacano. echeverre.
Absolutely amazing journey my friend ! You did a wonderful job of capturing the positive essence of it and showing how important it is to keep the right mind. Thank you Capt.
Thank you! I'm stoked people are enjoying it.
I lived on kwajalein in the early 2000's. Landed on that atoll a couple of times. It surprises me anytime I hear the Marshall islands. Not many people know about them. Impressive.
Thanks. Yeah I'm happy to put them in the spotlight. Some seriously troubling history there.
Absolutely great video! The funny faces are priceless, and I was cracking up several times. Loved all the actual sailing maneuvers and bird clips, as I am just learning to sail. Safe travels my friend. Keep looking up!
Thanks Karl! Happy sailing!
You are amazing. No worries and an optimistic outlook even in rising squalls. Fantastic!
Thank you kindly!
Living the dream! Canadian hero.
thanks brother.
thanks for video, big experience , congratulations.
Thank you.
Have never sailed but found this video so interesting & inspiring. Good job mate, safe travels for the future
Awesome, thank you!
This has inspired me to learn how to sail. I've grown up in and around the ocean. But Never learned to sail. And I love the freedom of navigating the world without having to be a millionaire. So awesome man. I wonder if your sailing right now..
I'm here www.routesofchange.org Happy Sailing!!
This was great. Thanks for all the effort you go to so we can almost be there with you. I’m hoping to start some solo sailing son and alternate between feeling excited and thinking it’s just not practical. You have shown me that it can be done and the Pacific isn’t always stormy. Bless you and best wishes for safe travels.
Thanks. They don't call it the Pacific for nothing. :) Time it right and be patient and you can sleep through the night for much your passages. The trades make for pretty consistent sailing. It was harder than it looks but very doable for any reasonably healthy and competent person. Happy Sailing!
Absolutly the best sailing video,you have been blessed with true peace,love n light...press on mate...CHEERS🤴
Thank you mate! That means a lot. Cheers!
Congratulations on a passage well done.
Thank you!
Welcome to my islands of Majuro Marshall island I hope you enjoy your visit there hope you enjoy the beautiful weather too
I did! Iakwe!
43:50 😃 we all have that imaginary friend....... Regarding the weather, always go by the rule that if something seems to good to be truth, it probably is, and always expect the worst and you'll never be disappointed with the outcome. Safe travels 💙⛵
Thanks. Safe journey for you!
You inspire to start sailing around the world.. thank you my friend.
Safe Travels 🙏🏻
Do it. Happy sailing!
Enjoyed the trip, thanks for the ride.
DUDE, I was born in Hawaii, North Shore Area, but now live in INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA. But, I'LL go back home again soon. But, I always wanted to sailing from L.A. to Hawaii. Maybe one Day. GOD BLESS You in 2020 my friend. WITH LOTS OF LOVE FROM INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA.USA❤
Nice dude. I wish you a happy sail when you do it. do it!!!
Well done pal! I admire you and what you've just done. I've recently bought a 79 Linjett 30 footer. Completed my first single-handed sail from Norway to Germany. Some pretty tricky waters, and unfortunately no cape horn wind vane to help me when times were tough. After watching and hearing of how much they truly are, It will be one of my next purchases!
thanks! yeah man. A windvane is essential for long distance single-handing. It literally sailed the boat close to 99% of the time out there. Cheers!
i love the birds that stop by for a quick visit
as did I!
18:20 i agree the only way I would ever be able to get through this is jazz music
The boogie board dude is crazy hehe
Every noise is twice as loud as at night time ... Phenomena
Routes Of Change - Man, what a great vid. You're inspiring, well spoken, and just generally pleasant to listen to.
As they every RUclipsr knows, and I know you know, 'ignore the haters'. Lol
Much appreciated! Thank you for the encouragement. Kindness rules!
@@Routesofchange absolutely my friend!
Had a little panic attack when he jumped in the water 1,000 miles from land.
Jeez ... The creature from the depths in down there ...
same here couldn t do it to much depth under me
I can’t fully express how much you inspired me at the right time in my life. So I will just say Thank you an I wish you safe travels my man.
You are so welcome. Thank you. Happy to inspire. Happy journeys to you.
Awesome journey! Don't give up. In my younger days I was the eccentric traveler of my family. I have been to everywhere except Florida. Twice around the world in both directions. Some in posh conditions, some on foot and every mode in between.
I don't have a damn thing to show for it all, except the memories and I would NOT trade them for all the riches of the world. HA, what am I saying... I have seen, smelled, tasted, heard, touched, loved and lost ALL OF THE WORLDS RICHES.
AND WORTH EVERY SECOND!
Awesome!!! Except Florida! Haha. Maybe nothing to show but I'm sure a lot to tell, and what are we without stories...
It's a trade off. You could have stayed on land and kept your head down for thirty years working and saving. You would be set up then for an enjoyable third part of life.
@@Routesofchange , you my friend are so correct. And brother do I have them. If I were a wtiter I would. I was a semi pro photographer so the pics will have to be the legacy. I wish we had had the Internet in the 70's and 80's or hell even the 90's. As it came to pass, when I aquired an address, I dove head long into building the infrastructure we now enjoy. It's been a fun ride. ;)
@@Kitiwake , I am only 55. I worked some, traveled some and still do the same. Just not as much or as intensely as in my nine foot tall days. ;)
@@jamieminton5534 Thanks for that!
What a great connection with nature.
Really enjoy watching the long passages and where the mind goes while underway.
cuckooo :) cheers!
Totally agree. I’m sure the realization of being that vulnerable and alone will cause serious stress aside from the boredom but I’m glad this doesn’t seem heavily edited and really shows how it was.
@@TomYabo33 it's very hard to show the entirety of such an experience, especially the most challenging, exhausting, and emotional times when I was occupied with surviving or feeling and not filming. It's a fairly accurate picture but it was so much more in so many ways. Happy sailing!
Really enjoying watching your journey travels. Thanks for Filming! always, Tommy :-)
Glad you like them!
That guy from the port is a legend
Awesome.....May the winds always be at your back...and all roads rise to meet you. God's Speed Brother...
thank you!
Wow. This is just amazing
The same sunset on 3 separate occasions? What are the odds of that! 😅
I love the whole "without motors" theme. I too love all manner of unpowered craft.
Did I use the same clip for 3 sunsets? I wouldn't usually do something like that. Oops :)
@@Routesofchange Yes, it was a recognizable sunset due to a bright orange diagonal line. I am however glad it was oversight rather than artifice. It was also quite a lovely sunset!
35:50 right there with you buddy, I know the feeling. Always so exposed suddenly, just before you jump over the rail!
It's great to let go!... and scary.
@@unclejesseandtherippers4047 who said it wasn't pleasant?
@@Routesofchange You did, Marmu! @36:53... too cold? too unstable? too spooky doing it solo at sea? something else?
@@Fiziologix their was some strong current!
I'm from Marshall islands...I really like your video
Kom̧m̧ooltata
My goodness, ROC! You've responded to every comment. Much respect. I respect your devotion to natural energy. I didn't know it was possible to pull a boat with a swimmer!@$# Fantastic. Your very authentic and like many others shared, don't conceal the rawness of where your at: weather, birds, sails, equipment that may or may not function well. I've been a DELOS fan for many years but you have the hutzpah to move us to the next level. Carbon Free. Bernie Sanders for President! Peace Brother, Doug from Tacoma, Washington
Peace brother! I was just talking to a good friend and told rowing mate who has his ocean rowboat down in Tacoma in need of love. Check out oarnorthwest if you haven't yet. Cheers and thanks for the inspiring words. All the best!
I don’t know why but that shot at 46:23 gave me good vibes 🤙🏼
well done mate, you are an inspiration!
Cheers mate. Happy sailing!
Truly inspiring
16:08 to answer the question, temperature has an effect on the speed of sound so daytime sound travels slower then at night because the day is hot and nights are cold.
Edit: also Yokwe! Hope you enjoyed your stay. It ain't much but it's still HOME.
Thanks for the info! Yokwe!
Thanks for letting me go with you on your journey
Any time! Thank you for joining.
You are insane.;) I love it!
Thank you.
Scary man. Out there by yourself. Hard core no doubt really hard core ...
scarier on a highway anyday.
@@Routesofchange I guse so haha. Hey man I was wondering about the life jackets. I notice so many solo sailors dont wear life jackets. I think your journey was awsome. Thanks so much for sharing. Iv also been see sic before and you have great motovation.
man ! , i love it when you film at night in the dark !! WOW
Cheers!
U r a brave man i can't even think about crossing the worlds largest water body.
In many ways the ocean is safer than the land that is crawling with half asleep sapiens speeding around in metal death machines while sexting to their lovers. :)
This was awesome ! my dream is to do something like this one day !
Do it!
One of the best sailing vids I've seen. Awesome
Wow, thanks!
Boats: exist
Seabirds: it’s free real estate
Great video. Watching you sail to majuro gave me great pleasure and happiness to see my home islands once more. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
Thank you!
Made it one minute into the video then STOPPED.
Going back and going to watch a bunch of your older videos first to get somewhat caught up on your adventures.
Just subscribed!!
Cheers from Thunder Bay Ontario/ Lake Superior.
Cheers! Thanks Joe! It's been a trip that's for sure.
Thank you for allowing us to join you on your journey!
Your welcome. Thank you.
You couldn't pay me to jump in that water. Especially alone.
Wonderful and pretty cool
You got major cahones brother✌🏻
This is just crazy man , sailing alone , glad you make it , you are truly legend sailor 🥰
Thanks. Sometimes being alone is safer...
50:56 what an amazing interpreteition
Charging solo without motor . Very cool and pretty brave
Thanks.
