  • I have really enjoyed my single-handed Atlantic crossing. Of course, I am showing how it has gone and in addition how I have used the Garmin inReach Mini, how the power supply with the solar panels has been working and I have many other tips.
    Enjoy the video!

    This is just the sort of video I like watching on RUclips. Not formulaic and episode content. Just a story about crossing an ocean single handed. Bravo and thanks.

    At 64 and with a disabled wife there’s not a cat in hells chance am I ever going to sail a boat . Listening to your vlog allows me to sail with you ? Great photography, great narrative, easy to listen to and pleased to have met you . Thanks for sharing

      There is the SailAway simulation on Steam or on their web store with a large monitor and good set of current headphones like a hyperX you could well chill in that game there is a demo available on sailaway.world/
      For me being landlocked its the closet I can get also reading and watching wonderful videos like this.

      67, both of us disabled, but as a lifetime biker/camper, I get the purity of it watching these. Pulling a 4' trailer behind the highly modified Harley, we "sail" the highways, moor in the campgrounds or just stream or lakeside spots we can find, and set up our "galley", gear tent,main tent with extra tarps for extended vestibule (the porch"), and of course, the head is never too far off. Many camp people are really good sorts to meet, otherwise, I enjoy solitude.

    I have to compliment Martin on these unique, voyage-long, videos. They provide a kind of continuity lacking in episodic videos so common on RUclips. He give us a real feeling for the rhythm, beauty, the daily regimen and even the occasional drudgery of a long passage like this. Very well done! Cheers Martin!

    That looked like a textbook Trade Wind crossing --- expertly sailed. I guess you did not get the memo that Bavarias are not suitable for ocean passages. I liked your 'feedback loop' with bungee cords. I tried several variations on that theme --- good enough to get home, but far from perfect. Bravo.

    • @mjambo697
      @mjambo697  4 года назад +9

      Thank you, Patrick. I must have overlooked that memo as usually! Yes, the bungee steering is a good emergency autopilot in a break down situation. This was the downwind solution. Upwind I just set the helm in a fixed position and it is balanced by the list and the tendency of the shipp running into the wind. Thanks a lot and best regards 😀⛵⛵

      @Peter Rahill In French, we say something like, "Bonne nav" as the equivalent of Fair Winds. ('Fair winds' in French is mildly rude, as it is used in common speech to mean 'get lost' or 'good riddance'.)

    I've watched about ten ocean crossings, on small sailboats, with one sailor, and this was the best. It was very informative, and finally, someone explained the sleeping situation, which I think is most important. I've seen Martins' sail, from Martinique to Germany, which was also good, tho left me with questions, that this video answered. Thanks

    Thank you for this video Martin which I much enjoyed. About 30 years ago my wife and I crossed the Atlantic from the Canaries to Antigua in our 50 foot teak ketch Mutineer. So your video brought back many memories. We had made friends with a German sailor whose name I sadly forget and he also crossed the Atlantic solo in his steel yacht at about the same time. In the middle of one night while is was sleeping, he sailed into the side of a large ship. He and his yacht were fine and the ship he ran into didn't stop or even notice what had happened. You were very wise to keep the careful watches that you did! Anyway Martin, I'm now subscribed to your channel so look forward to your further adventures and I wish you good fortune in all your travels...

    Just found you, this is the first video of yours that I watched, absolutely fantastic Martin! An incredible feat to sail that far solo and to keep such a great attitude throughout the trip (at least the parts you filmed 😁). Congratulations on documenting your voyage for all of us to enjoy, Prost! 🍻👍🏻👍🏻😊

    What a joy your video is! I’ve sailed much larger yachts (53’-76’’) most of my life and lost much of the joy when considering the maintenance, costs and hassle. You’ve got me thinking about the possible joys of a smaller vessel. I needed this video. Thank you so much!

    • @mjambo697
      @mjambo697  3 года назад +3

      Thank you very much. A few years ago, I have made my decision to keep my Jambo and not going for a larger boat. The reasons are as you listed them, costs, hassle and also it can be handled easier even with higher age. At the end of the day, I miss a meter boat’s length. However, I think with every size you miss that meter. Jambo is small but sufficient for a couple. If we get visitors I would look to rent some storage space to place a few things there, whilst the visitors cruise with us. Kind regards 😀⛵⛵

      I think 34’ would be somewhat of a challenge - and Biggerboatitis will always be a problem. That said, after a lifetime of tech development and sailing much larger yachts, there is a great deal of praise to be had for simpler and less complicated - in both life and boats. Many of the sailors I know with larger yacht experience eventually end up sailing much smaller boats and rave about the unfettered experience of being closer to the water. You are smiling in so many of your videos. That speaks volumes. Fair winds.

    Moin Martin. Ich liege mit nem gebrochenen Schlüsselbein nach nem schweren Fahrradunfall zuhause im Bett. Habe mit Segeln so rein gar nichts am Hut. Mein Nachbar hat n Boot, das hab ich mal mit ihm zusammen in die Bootshalle nebenan geschoben. 😀 Das wars. Mittlerweile habe ich deine Videos fast alle gesehen. Wenn ich in 20 Jahren vielleicht auch mal alleine den Atlantik überquere, werd ich dabei 100pro an dich denken müssen.
    Was für ein guter, sympathischer Typ. Bleib so wie du bist, Martin. 🙂

    Wow, fantastic video Martin. Thank you so much. You are living my dream and watching you cross a whole ocean on your own was awesome.
    I love your style, so natural and your sense of humour shines through (and I say that as an Englishman .... who says Germans have no sense of humour!!!! :D). On that note your English is amazing, I especially laughed when you used the word "knackered". Now that is a proper English word!
    Lastly, I could see how good that beer tasted at the end!
    Thank you so much, keep doing these videos and keep living the dream. Stay safe and good winds.
