that is such a special old boat. will you make future videos sailing on her? that kind of passage in an open boat brings one word to my mind; courage. you're a real adventurer

It was an epic 24 hours, that this story only lightly brushes. We were staving off exhaustion with coffee and chocolate. The community had been blockading the logging operation for a week. The pair of us snuck in the back way to do some filming. Police were everywhere. We evaded them. Got back to the vehicle, and the police 4WD had tried to block us in. We drove up an embankment and took off down the rough muddy track, only a minute ahead of the cops. Did a 300km detour on backroads to get back home without getting nabbed. We hadn’t actually done anything wrong, but it was during Covid and in the forests, the cops and loggers are pretty lawless at the best of times. Coming around a remote corner at night, to that field with rows of burning pyres was especially surreal!

How do you sleep when you don't get to the island? Do you sleep while sailing? Or drop anchor and sleep in the middle of the ocean?
@NickJaffe4 ай бұрын
In this case I did not sleep at sea but timed passages to each island / stop. I think the longest day was 17 or 18 hours. Normally on a multi night passage solo, one would continue under autopilot and wake up through the night every 20mins.

ein solch grosses boot lässt sich doch wohnlich einrichten...mit etwas sperrholz ( 4mm )...mit epoxiharz und glasmatten sogar noch stabiler...denke auch mal an eine zug-druckpinne...dabei kannst du immer auf einer position stehen oder sitzen...oder stelle den mast ins heck...das segel wird dann an einem baum angeschlagen...funktioniert wirklich,,,dabei kann man eine genua als rahsegel einsetzen...

Why did you do it? I mean, to me it sounded like you didnt enjoy it at all and you somehow felt like it was something you had to do, rather than something you wanted to do. The only positive thing i heard was the good meal offered by the other people. Could be me though. Nevertheless I respect that you did what you did.

Shame you think that - it was a wonderful moment, at sunset on a remote Pacific island with just a handful of people, when one of them, an ex navy sailor, breaks into a traditional whaling song. Can’t please everyone!

Katabatic wind is where all the air is heated up during the day but at night hills cool down quicker so air in contact with them cools and becomes denser. Gravity then caused this air to fall down the side of the hill and becomes an off-shore wind.

If it wasn't for that little Yanmar You'd still be underway. Great effort mate but why spend the time motoring? She is what she is...I would have loved to have not relied on the motor, But that's just me. Im a Grumpy old seadog and I can't help it. She's a beautiful boat for certain. Glad you made it safe n sound young fella.
@NickJaffe7 ай бұрын
As a Grumpy Old Seagod, you must have unlimited amounts of time - sadly, I do not. I would have loved a consistent 5-6 day northerly breeze and to have never turned the engine on, but, I had a limited time frame I could do this voyage, and I made progress with the conditions I was given. You are, quite literally, criticising the weather. Fair winds.

Grew up around Couta Boats Portsea and Sorrento. Tim Phillips would agree. Don't underestimate how good a sea boat a 26 foot Couta Boat is. I know being an open boat it's deceiving but don't let that put you off. Back in the Depression no engines and through the Rip daily wind against tide getting Couta. Have done it myself several times with swell curling. Them boats love it.
