19 year old crossing the Pacific alone

  • Опубликовано: 1 авг 2023
  • I'm Garrett. I'm 19 years old, and for the last year and a half I've been learning to solo sail the Hawaiian Islands and prepping my boat, a Nor'sea 27 to travel the world. After months at the harbor working on my boat, it's time to leave the dock and sail to French Polynesia. This is a 2,400 nautical mile upwind trip and should take about 25 days.
    Thanks for watching the first 11 days of my passage! I had too much footage to fit it all into one video, so make sure to subscribe to see the rest of my voyage. Also, follow me on Instagram if you want

    So far a wonderful adventure. When I was in your age area I was living aboard my S&S Chris Pawnee 26. I sailed her thousands of ocean miles. She lacked 2 things that your boat also lacks, as you found out the hard way. 1. A sea hood to protect the companionway slider from water forcing in. And 2. A cockpit dodger. And with skin like yours ( I’m the same) some sort of Bimini top or cockpit shade. Watch that sun, it killed my identical twin brother in his thirties. All of my cruising boats in the future had these 3 features. You, otherwise have a very nice boat. She goes windward well, especially for a heavy displacement full keel, and with that narrow beam (like my Alberg 35), she is easily driven. Interestingly, you have about the same waterline length as my A-35! Very good for you. My next boat a Kelly Peterson 44 had 39’ waterline. I shopped for waterline! Well enjoy the adventure! Looks like you are. Love it. Great job! PS. I’m now near 80 and still sailing!

      As Christian Williams says on his channel, it's cheaper to just buy a large umbrella for a patio and put that over your cockpit as it will will just fine in most weather and you can take it down and heave to when it's not.

    This is awesome Garrett. You’re an inspiration to me personally and as a father to my 18 year old daughter. Live your dreams and do something interesting with your life. What an adventure and what an educational!
