Pacific Crossing Part 4
Crossing the equator is a grand event for any sailor. In the Navy it is often marked with much shenanigans mostly aimed at the “Pollywogs” (those that have never crossed an equator before) and christening them into “Shellbacks”.
We are so excited for our first equator crossing to officially become Shellbacks and maybe even meet King Neptune himself?
Truly a day we will never forget!

▬▬ OUR STORY ▬▬
We are a multigenerational sailing channel with 2 boats and 1 collective dream of crossing oceans.
Meet Mick, Kate and their 2 boys Thomas and Bentley aboard Meraki a Stan Huntingford Explorer 45. An Aussie/Canadian family who dreamed of living life differently and took the leap into sailing life during COVID and have never looked back. Sailing from beautiful BC, Canada down to Mexico and then across the Pacific, through the South Pacific islands onwards to Australia and BEYOND!
You'll also get to know Kevin and Shawna (parents to Kate) aboard M2 a TransPac 49'. They've had had a lifelong dream to sail the world and are currently in the Caribbean with big plans to transit the Panama Canal very soon!
While the original goal was to be visiting anchorages together, life had different plans. With one boat being purchased in the Pacific NorthWest and the other acquired in the Caribbean we've been waiting out Hurricane season in separate Oceans.. but the reunion is going to be OH, SO, SWEET!
Explore the world through our eyes on our sailboat adventure of a lifetime! Let us take you with us on this journey to the next destination.
If you love adventure and want to see more you're in the right place.

Woot woot!!! Huge moment. Congratulations to all of you.
Sigh. The bittersweet moment when you realize it’s SO GOOD you don’t want it to end. Hugs. I teared up when you realized this moment.
Keep it going
I'm all caught up to date and have really enjoyed all your videos. Keep up the good work and ready for more. I hope you are all well.
you guys make this look so easy and enjoyable. Neptune boarding was the best
We lucked out with such an amazing crossing. It really was enjoyable!
Wooo Hooo! Another HUGE milestone! The Shellback Ceremony was much better than what I went thru in the Navy!
Haha had to keep it PG for the kiddos but still make it fun and silly!
Thanks mate.

@@CruisingMeraki truly inspiring. Warm fuzziness to it all.
I’ve been watching you all from the beginning and watching you all meet up after crossing the ocean was so emotional for me’😢 I loved seeing your Mom on the boat waving and then them both hugging the boys, oh the tears! congratulations on your big cross. Hope to be doing that same thing with my family one day. ❤

Aw what an amazing thought!
What a fun video glade for this beautiful family
A profound occasion: crossing the Equator on the Equinox under a picturesque sunset, and duly receiving a visit from Neptune. Neptune might have helped out with that stretch of fair weather. You earned this moment, doing so much prep and working so long without regular sleep! Nice to see the pretty spinnaker, which I named Sunbeam.
We couldn’t believe it! We had all the feels as we crossed on such a special day under the setting sun. Could not have been more perfect - thank you Neptune!!!

Ps love sunbeam!
A very groovy video. Well done, well done indeed. Stay safe and stay groovy.
Wishing you and your family a Happy New year 2024 . thanks for your journey with your family ..
Alllll the feels you guys!!! Wow such an accomplishment! Kate I love how you are breaking the passage up into episode parts like this because it really gives a taste of what it’s been like out there! From squalls to pizza to… crazy sea kings! 😆 And those moments under the stars are seemingly the stuff that dreams are made of ☺️.
Sail onward Meraki and her valiant crew! ⛵️
Thanks guys!! The pacific crossing has ended up being a longer series than we anticipated but they are memories we hold dear. We had SO much footage it was hard to slim it down to the 4-5 episodes 😂
Seriously an epic and special journey for us. Thank you for coming along for the ride!
Crossing the equator is such an achievement for all of you. Very brave of you to jump in the ocean, but I suppose keel hauling is part of the tradition.
Gotta swim at the equator. Kate almost chickened out but we wouldn’t let her ;)
Just caught the part about the squalls crossing the equator. What kind of winds did you see? We are taking another shot at the crossing next year. Thanks for the inspiration. Say hello to everyone for us. Chad, Katrin, Benji, Leo on sv Velella
Hey Chad. So good to see Valella crew here! Hope you guys are well.
We do not have wind instruments on board so we never know for sure, we have a hand held anemometer that gives us a rough idea but we rarely use it 😝
We’re decent at guessing though and we’d say we never saw more than 30knts from squalls. They usually averaged around 20-25 which was welcome when it was light winds - a nice pick me up to get us moving.
SO HAPPY FOR U GUYS STAY SAFE
Thanks Roy!
leBOWski at 1313. the equator ritual was hillarious
i love mondays. thanks for sharing thursday stars! you guys rock
Thanks Chris. Wahoooo!
If you see flying fish start trolling! Those are tuna snicker bars.
Hand lines are in the water from sun up to sun down.. no bites on this passage (yet).
@@CruisingMeraki booooooo! Just do circles around that area then 😂😂😂😂😂🤪🤪
Excellent vidio and a very special day but iam not shur about the king
Gotta make it fun for the kids! Did you see those giggles? Worth the silliness!
.. some day ..
