I don't know how far the publication date is from real time. I know you make it safe because I am watching the vid. Where were you when Tonga exploded?
I really enjoy the authenticity of this channel. Let me know if you’re ever in Annapolis or St. Michael’s MD for a free (nice) place to stay with a free dock to tie up.
I appreciate you just letting the camera roll and let us watch the peace and calm(ok..sometimes not so peaceful or calm) of just sailing as it appears just as you see it.
Great video. I carry a set of jumper cables that will reach from the house bank to the starter battery. In the future I will also carry a battery jumper, the kind that road assistance companies use to start your car when the battery is dead. One charges it with the inverter. A good one will start a 7 liter diesel engine, so a marine diesel in a sailboat should be quite easy. It is the "belt and suspenders" approach.
Noco gb40 jumpstarter (or one like it) saves a lot of hassle connecting to a battery somewhere else on the boat... and you can solar charge it as needed.
Really tremendous sailing footage! Did ya ever figure out where the mystery helicopter was from? Also how do you guy's break up your night watch? As always thanx for the share!
I must admit that I was a little worried about you guys- 32 days deep & getting a little tired of each other & cramped living spaces. However, the crossing the equator party was a complete & total win for emotional release. Silly, involves alcohol (not normal in passages for excellent reasons) & set aside as it's own 'moment'- I'm unsure if viewers understand the need for these breaks. But, I DO, and I know that it allows for a mental breather (Yes, I could see the stress building) & all were genuinely more relaxed in the days afterwards. Mankie jokes are fun, living in total chaos down below is stressful and having a trip divider literally allows for fresh perspectives. 40 days at sea is no small trip, nor is 4,000 nm. Thankfully, you (both) are strong mentally, your crew is well internally oriented (noted: time separated) & no-one seems to have unwound or got tightly bundled...so far. Super human focus & relaxed approach is paying dividends. Once again, like your boat build up, I am very impressed. She's still together, no horror stories, batteries are mostly unburdened, all equipment is holding up- really, much to praise & little to stress specifically over. I'm glad the rig was tuned just prior to sailing- still quiet after 32 days at sea!
Thank you sir for the kind words and close attention to detail! Yes your correct, the space is tight and a long crossing like this gets repetitive but lots of small ups and downs to break it up. The equator crossing was great and thankful to have many calms days to enjoy the experience. Take care and stay tuned for the next one 🤙
I didn't see part 1, so apologies if you have shown this in that video. How many staterooms does your oceanis 40 have? It would be great if you could show pictures of what it looks like below deck. I'm a big fan. It's so impressive what you are doing in a 40-footer with three people!! David
Thanks for joining us David and glad you enjoy the video. We have 3 double cabins down below. We give a boat tour in this video if your interested ruclips.net/video/eOHP75uBf5A/видео.html
ciao Sailing Beaver, i got also "the big one" pt.2, quietly, cheering up🍷 to yr Equator as well with my nice red wine! So far so good. Keep on sailing wisely. To you my dear 3 guys, cheers 🍻🍻🍻and, as ever, Fair Winds ⛵
Hi deb! The engine battery completely died on us and we were unable to get it started again so we had to replace it with the two batteries we had for the thruster in the front cabin. That way we managed to start the engine again 👍
I was so relieved when I heard the engine start with the thruster battery! I also have an OC40 and it has a connection between the +ve house batteries to the starter battery which is activated by a key switch underneath the main battery switches. Guess this was retrofitted by the previous owner if yours does not have this fitted...?
Us too, we were running out of options so it was a big relief. Although we don’t have this active between the house bank to the starter that’s a very good idea to have a simple redundancy. Cheers 🤙
you guys do the best sailing atmosphere ever. just loong still shots, leave it on, original sound of the water, i feel like I am aboard. fantastic work.
Hi there. Just come across your channel recently and am really enjoying your story & style. It actually coincided with me listening to an audible book being read by a Chris Stanmore-Major (The Mariner & Rare Nautical Reads) about a very similar voyage. The book was by a John Caldwell, titled, ‘Desperate Voyage’ and published back in 1949. Might be worth a read/listen, as you will appreciate what he achieved, having completed virtually the same passage.
Well done guys, massive milestone and achievement passing the equator (I clapped for you as its a massive thing to accomplish). Looking forward to the next one....ps loved that you were watching adventures of an old sea dog, been watching him from the start and his crossing of the equator was really emotional. Well done.
Thankyou sir! Cheers for clapping us across the line, was a great experience. We watched a few of his episodes our crossing when the weather was nice. 🤙 fair winds
This is wonderful... love your channel so far. I've wanted to cruise like this for so many years... since I was a kid. I've found over the last year I've discovered new sailing vlogs almost daily. Does every cruiser have one now? When you arrive in harbors around the world, and meet other sailors, are they all RUclipsrs?
Love how you keep the music,( which is great), at minimum and give the natural sounds of the boat and the sea as it actually is. Thank you!
Thank you very much!

Thank you so much mate for the comment and kind offer mate! We will definitely keep that in mind if we head that way in the future! Take care
Opened up RUclips… Cool sailing beaver six minutes ago!
🤙🏼
Matt. Search Tick Stick on RUclips. It’ll help a lot with your cabinet projects when dealing with all the curves on the boat
Totally enjoyed this episode!!!
Thank you for sharing !
Keep it up…,you are amazing!
Cheers Kevin! Truly appreciate it🤗
Just think of ALL the castaways that have drifted that route praying for fresh water - manna from Heaven!
Great video, but I did wince at 17:00. Never, never, never go near the prop when the engine is running, even out of gear.
Thankyou sir. Yeah your right, we thought that when editing the footage, but we were checking for vibration and wanted it running.
I appreciate you just letting the camera roll and let us watch the peace and calm(ok..sometimes not so peaceful or calm) of just sailing as it appears just as you see it.
35 min 35 sec of 110% completely awesomness! Jeg vil også seile stillehavet! :)
Tusen takk! Definitivt en opplevelse for livet!

Thank you sir. It’s a good idea and we also do the same now. Not a big purchase but can really help out in this situation.
Did you sort out the reason that starter battery was flat? Sick battery or faulty charging?
Was getting good charge voltage but we think it just died. About 5 years old. No issues since replacing.
Rose a toll is a protected a toll, the 3 of you should sail around it and check out and maybe do a little snorkeling, know you will love it!
Cheers 🤙
Noco gb40 jumpstarter (or one like it) saves a lot of hassle connecting to a battery somewhere else on the boat... and you can solar charge it as needed.
That is a great idea, thanks we will look into that! We should at least have had jumper leads onboard🤦♀️
Just extraordinary 💋 💋. You are missing out > P R O M O S M !!
Happy Valentines,keep safe always and Happy sailing!
Cheers and fair winds 🤙
Excellent vidio you keep it real have a safe voyage
Cheers take care 🤙
Enjoyed, thanks..
Really tremendous sailing footage! Did ya ever figure out where the mystery helicopter was from? Also how do you guy's break up your night watch? As always thanx for the share!
Thanks mate! No we never found out, but must have been off a ship as we were so far out at sea. With the three of us we did 4 on 8 off😊
Fishin vessels use helicopters to find fish. Not unusual to see them in the Pacific. Most sailors will encounter them.
man I really wanted to see how the sourdough bread turned out.
I would like you to sail from the North Pole to the South Pole. Thanks. Good luck!
Wow big trip but would absolutely love that cheers 🤙
@@SailingBeaver If you decide to attempt it, just let me know and I'll donate. ;)
Really enjoy watching your channel, the quality of your vlogs is fabulous and so well narrated too, enjoy your travels, fair winds and following seas.
Thanks for this kind comment and glad you enjoy. Fair winds 🤙
I love watching you guys sail ! keep up the hard work, and as we say in Canada '' Just giver eh " take care and stay safe
Awesome so glad you enjoy it! Cheers for the comment!
So your Norwegian ?
Correct, Nicole is Norwegian, Sam & Rob Australian. 🤙
Of all the private sailing vessels I've seen make this long passage, yours is by far the most squared away and ship shape!
Thank you kind sir. Fair winds 🤙
Excellent 👏👍🏻
Yew cheers 🤙
Great sail! Congrats on the equator crossing, awesome celebration!
Cheers and glad you enjoy. 🤙

An exciting journey to watch. A very long trip. I hope you guys downloaded some Netflix movies before you left port. LOL!
Cheers, we had plenty of podcasts, books and movies 😊

Lovely episode. Thank you for sharing. First time viewing. 💕
Thanks for watching😊
First🙃
Great video.

I must have missed why you were not charging and how you fixed it.
Hi deb! The engine battery completely died on us and we were unable to get it started again so we had to replace it with the two batteries we had for the thruster in the front cabin. That way we managed to start the engine again 👍
When the US Navy crossed the Equator in WW2, they would play Dixie on the PA system.
The seas look so relatively calm. Just a little rolling. Have you encountered any choppy seas over 4 feet.
Love watching. So pro!
Cheers and glad you enjoy. Mostly the pacific was calm except for a day or two departing Panama when the wind was strong.
Thank you for sharing your adventure!
Cheers, enjoy 🤙
Very entertaining and educational as usual! Thanks.
Cheers for tuning in and thank you 🤙
@@SailingBeaver love you guys!

Oh god not another look at me I'm sailing a boat channel...very uninteresting
Haha. Welcome aboard sir, we do some other cool tricks too! 😊
You're watching my favorite show starring Barry Perrins!
Haha he’s great, made for some good watching on our crossing 🤙
