No payment Not requested to scup, perhaps eventually rescued

Glad you enjoyed it

Indeed!

I loved the video. What you’re doing is a dream for me. Good on you!

That was all done before sailing to NZ. I had forgotten about the video so I put it on for people like you to see.

I figured this. I hope things have worked out for you in SFO or HI.

Hello, What a surprise. Where did you see her?

Yes, it was quite an event. Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching. Yes, the 150 Genoa head sail was up under duress also. The clew was blown out earlier by a rogue wave over the bow and had to be tied together with Dyneema which eventually failed again. Having sewn it altogether once again, careful and safe saiing had to be the order of the already lengthy passage from NZ. With now the centre of effort all forward and no resistance from the hull, the increased winds would not make it possible to sail close to the wind as wished to make Hawaii. The USCG called and advised an increase of winds to 25-30 kts for a week to ten days, increasing in strength which would certainly blow Peregrine past all of the Hawaiian Islands, as it was already realised and charted. After nearly 50 days at sea, a decision had to be made as the video shows. I also had a staysail up that increased the center of effort forward of the mast. All of this was a most frustrating experience being pushed along with direct N and NE trades making only 2-3 kgs per day. Beyond the Islands is North Pacific open ocean with no other resources with the hurricane season approaching. The open ocean as you may know is indiscriminate, though so beautiful in all of its Nature. I love it. It is not a place for the faint of heart.....

@@peregrinessailingadventure8395 so you couldn’t use it to help you into port? What happened to the boat?

@@SailingLittleGooseBC Thanks again for your interest in my unfortunate story. After nearly two weeks and 1K miles of sailing right up against the steady winds from the N and NE, progress towards any easting and Hilo were impossible to maintain. Smaller and somewhat adequate storm sails were of very limited use which they are designed for, to stay upright in storms of such, a last resort in hurricane situations, short of bare poles, sea anchor and/or drogue. It was pretty clear as crossing the Equator form the Cook Islands that if the winds did continue, port would not be made in Hilo. I called Customs in Hilo to advise them of my situation, to alert the USCG. The USCG later called to verify my position, state of Peregrine's damage, and all personal information. Quite complete and thorough. After having the repaired 150 out for awhile, it was realised that if it too was torn apart, there would be no other options. It was also realised the a very lightweight spinnaker meant for mild winds might be of use if shortened out, yet risking higher winds expected for more damages. All options were considered, even sailing back down to the Marshall Islands to Wake Island, nearly 2k miles. Then the USCG called and advised safe measures, sending out an airborne C!30 out from Honolulu for status and location.

Chelle, Search for “Abandoning Peregrine” as one last video of Peregrine. I was rescued at sea by the US Navy about 300 Nmi south of Hawaii after sailing non stop from New Zealand…… I had to set her adrift to wander. I’m in the Seattle area with family without a boat

@@peregrinessailingadventure8395 Capt. Berry ~ I just watched the video -- oh, my goodness!!!! Firstly, I am so relieved that you are safe!!!! And I just cannot believe that Peregrine is gone -- my heart is crushed to learn that the situation unfolded as it did! Again, what matters is that you are safe, tho! I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved Peregrine!!!! Is there a way that I can contact you via email? If you go to my website, I have a Contact form, if you would be wiling to send me your email -- or, perhaps I can reach you on your blog -- I will take a look to see if you have a means of reaching you privately, there! ~ Chelle

@@passagesfromtheheart You should be able to find me @ [email protected] And then go from there Thanks for watching Yes, its been a little anticlimactic

Chelle. It should read [email protected]

I really don’t know, but I’m sure with enough research one can find out which would be interesting

Not enough. I will check

Not sure of any dance category. The dancing is done for a tribute and ongoing celebration for their heritage.

😆really................................

@@rhondaphillips6376 well we know now what's the difference between te reo Maori haka and te reo tahitian haka.
