Sailing alone overnight to Kauai and escaping huge swell

- I’m Garrett, at 17 years old I decided I didn’t want to take the standard college route so I made the spontaneous decision to buy a sailboat with money I worked for and set out to sail around the world. Right now I am sailing around the Hawaiian Islands and preparing my boat, a Nor’sea 27, as well as myself for a big passage to French Polynesia when hurricane season comes to an end.
In this video I make my first solo overnight passage ever on my boat from Oahu to Kauai. I also sail down the Napali coast but am forced to leave due to the biggest south swell in a long time hitting Hawaii.
Thanks for watching. If you enjoyed this video please like and subscribe.

I am so impressed…and envious! I’m 52 now. Graduated high school in ‘89 and went right into the Army, got out 4 years later and went right into the career I’m still working in today, 30 years later. What I wouldn’t give to be your age, doing what you’re doing. Do these things while you’re young and free of the trappings of life so many of us take on. Thanks to this career of mine, I’m too beat down physically to take on ocean sailing so I’ll need to get my fix through these wonderful videos. Safe travels, sir.
It's great to follow your journey. You're getting better at adding more of the beautiful sights, your daily routines and water footage. Keep them coming. Great job 👏
Thanks!
You need to rig a preventer on your boom so you don’t have an accidental jibe and brake something or get hit in the head use a snap shackle and put another car on each of your jib tracks also, when you get your new sail for your wind vane make a template of it so you can easily make one or two and save some $$
Just found your channel. I really like it. Great content and your an inspiration to all young men.
Really enjoying all of your videos..especially how no sail goes as planned but you are able to adapt and move forward. Awesome! Thank you.
its not big deal because my Boyy garrett is on Firee 😎May Jesus Continue to Bless Him🙏
Great vids!! Keep them coming. Fun following along
Awesome! ⛵️
Great stuff
You tightened the nut on the shaft and the vane wasn't flaccid anymore and started poppin'. Then you were slappin' and whackin' the boom. You had a great sail. Keep it up. Pretty soon you'll be going around the world. A Nor'sea is a great boat for a young single-hander to start an adventure with! But being a white guy, you should seriously consider sun protection on the lips, nose, shoulders, pretty much all over, a daily necessity.
Haha! The boat has been great. And yeah I definetely need to do a better job at covering up.
Another great video
Keep it up dude!
Hey Garrett. Great adventure. I enjoyed watching along from Scotland whilst writing up a bat ecologist report 🦇 thanks for sharing ⛵️ x
Cool! Thanks for watching
Love it
Ah dang, wanted to see the sail back! It was one of if not the toughest sail I have ever done.
That is the next video!
@@garrettsadventure sweet!
@@captainmike808 just posted it!
Nice journey
Trust the process bro
The 'gooey stuff's is water emulsified with diesel.
My Man suddenly blew off on the RUclips
Aloha from Big Island. Just found your channel, and watched all your videos. What is your boat? I would like to see a video tour of it.
Thanks for watching! It is a 1978 Nor’sea 27 made by Heritage Marine. I’ll make a tour in the near future.
@@garrettsadventure answered my previous question on your latest video. I’m enjoying your style of vlogging. Keep it up!
You need a microphone puff such as a square of wool felt.
What kind of boat do you have
Did you ever notice you put the impeller in with the blades backwards?
It does not matter they instantly correct themselves.
@@garrettsadventure I know. I enjoy your videos.
Does anyone know wher Garrett is from??
Snotty fuel..my guess- aqua🎐
Yeah I just cleaned the inside of the tank, lots of junk stuck to the bottom but I'm unsure of the source.
i love how a Ship never sinks with a Holy bible inside Because the Lord is always being Murciful in our lives🙏Mercy is with Jesus Christ the ONLY True Living God 💟
It's a bugger when you have to steer with the main! Lol. The wind is ripping so you should be flying. Turn off the diesel and learn how to really sail.
