16-13_Pacific Ocean Crossing - SOLO to Alaska III (sailing ZERO)

[@skodiljoti]

It is pleasant to sit in the chair and watch these videos,amazing journey!

[@trafficslight]

your videos have more actual sailing than most of the channels put together! thumbs up.

[@arumrunner]

Some great passage footage there Christian!!!

[@rolandtaitt7155]

BRAVO and a job well done! Enjoy Alaska but please remember it's Alaska and all the creatures are as wild as wild gets.

[@RealityIsTheNow]

Alaska! Excellent! I've had enough palm trees. All these cruising channels...its all palm trees and diving reefs and blah blah. Give me the cold weather, the snow capped peaks, the halibut fishing and something new to look at. Great choice for a destination. :D

[@lowellmccormick6991]

But what about the girls in bikinis?

[@RealityIsTheNow]

After the first thousand or so, they start to look the same. Like curvy palm trees.

[@lowellmccormick6991]

But I like curvy palm trees. ;> And I like this also. But it does make me chilly just watching.

such a nice boat

[@RobertNetzer]

I heard REM in the background, my favorite band! Even as a native English speaker, I cannot figure out half the lyrics. So it means it's a blank canvas and you can make the song's meaning what you want, just like the song of sailing. Thank you for sharing your journey and the lyrics that make up your sailing song.

[@rustybrindle3134]

Glad you made it safely !

[@NanThinks]

Congratulations! Enjoy beautiful Alaska!

[@MrTatts64]

Congratulations and well done for the crossing. I hope you get your diesel heater sorted out soon :)

[@sailingandrunning]

Love the singing! Keep it up😁😁😂😂😁

Great job, really enjoying. Stay warm up there!

[@jamesajac4384]

Wow such beautiful footage, a very inspiring video! Congratulations my friend. Peace an Fair Winds!

[@randalldonofrio6963]

great voyage thanks for the videos.

[@mostlysane9376]

I've really enjoyed these videos, thank you. And congratulations on successfully completing the crossing.

[@smoothsailing7773]

Yes happy you made it!! Well done. I hope to see video of you bringing on the salmon and halibut. Nice video Radio Zero! Fair winds...

[@SailBeforeSunset]

Great series! Looking forward to your videos of Alaska. We're thinking of doing a tour up there after we finish the South Pacific.

[@roderickmchardy3650]

well done

[@phillipallen1305]

Love the videos of the trip.

[@paulmunro9827]

fast crossing-Great videos!

[@noel3070]

Great video, really impressed with the way the boat sails and the motion through the sea. Alaska is on my must do list before I kark it. Look forward to seeing the updates as you go

[@dtonvista]

What a great sailing trip, I like the guitar solo, interesting music choice, you made the trip look so easy yet I am not a Patreon to see your exploits, really though, great video, thank you for sharing!

[@TinyHomeTours]

Nice!

[@dennismacdonald2003]

love your videos plan on sailing around world in 2018

[@craig6297]

Dude ur my idol!!

[@ryanh5008]

Great video! Hopefully you have most of the leaks fixed. What are your plans for the remainder of 2016?

[@misterpulpeiro]

Thumbs up for stairway to heaven! :)

[@va7dgp]

It's going to get colder. Snow up north Fort St John, BC I can imagine it snowing in Alaska now

[@bandulasri]

you made alone mate...nice sailing ! Bravo ! How was the banana bread ?

[@lylepayne7162]

Yea...you made it

[@lylepayne7162]

I wish you the best...keep the videos coming

[@Escapetosea]

Great boat.great video. Hopefully my wife won’t get my boat in the divorce and I can do it too. Maybe I will regardless 🤣

[@sailingZERO]

Don't let anybody stop you doing it.

[@baseballDUDE32]

I hope your not walking around Kodiak island With anything smaller than a 45 caliber. Put a bell on your foot that way you don't surprise The Kodiak Brown bear. As always enjoy the videos😎

[@tommydee4780]

Ausgezeichnet!

[@finaltom5]

Any thoughts on a Northwest passage?

[@barryberg2929]

I have a quick question - what range are you getting from your AIS receiver for the ships out in the open ocean - what distance usually do you pick up the ships??? Barry.

[@Raging.Geekazoid]

It's a 50-foot ketch with a full-length keel. Why would it not be a good passage-maker?

[@sailingZERO]

You think its that easy?? But I do like the full keel for sure..

[@Raging.Geekazoid]

@@sailingZERO I just don't understand why at 9:25 you said you were surprised it's so good. I thought the whole purpose of ketches like that was for long passages. Anyway, it's a great looking boat and a fun video. I'll be sure to watch more of them. 😃

[@sailingZERO]

I think that was related to how fast we actually did some passages..

[@bobbyjohnnascar]

What do you have as an engine 350 Chevy?

[@bensteel3944]

Although it must get lonely .. There must be something incredibly special about a solo crossing ... What are your thoughts on this .. cheers

[@TheBrokenLife]

Is it normal for the autopilot to make rudder adjustments every second or two? It seems like it is making changes before the changes could have an effect. Or have I been hearing something else that sounds like a hydraulic pump in these videos?

[@TheBrokenLife]

***** That's interesting. Is there any concern about the longevity of the system with so such frequent starting and stopping of the pump? Or has it been doing that for a very long period of time already?

[@TheBrokenLife]

***** It's the frequent starting and stopping of the pump that would cause me concern, not the small angle of adjustment. That start/stop is typically referred to as "short cycling" and it's usually not a good thing. I don't know anything about sailing, so maybe you really do have to make rudder corrections very frequently to stay on course, so that is totally normal for that system but I have designed other hydraulic systems (which are generally industrial systems) and I would generally try to avoid such starting and stopping. I would typically try to avoid that either by installing an accumulator and a pressure activation switch for the pump (the accumulator acts as a pressure reservoir, so the pump runs to store pressure in the accumulator, then shuts off. Then the system uses the stored pressure until the pump needs to run to restore pressure again) or even configure the pump to run continuously and control the motion of the cylinder with a solenoid that allows all of the fluid to return to the tank until its needed at the cylinder. Clearly the pump running constantly wouldn't be good for your batteries. So, I'm curious if the system is operating to the design intent of the manufacturer or if maybe something is wrong with the calibration of a sensor or perhaps there is even an error in the sensitivity scaling in the software since you're only able to adjust it to get either short cycles or off course voyages. I love your channel and hope you continue to have safe and successful trips!

[@meaghanstone5770]

What kind of sail boat is Zero and how bi, what year??

[@sailingZERO]

Check out our website. There are a ton of information about ZERO.. www.sailingzero.com

[@TheSeveral]

Im always scared you fall from the boat and it will just sail away...

[@bobbyjohnnascar]

Hello is that a Force 50? Thanks

[@ryanh5008]

Yes '1974 built Hudson Force 50' as stated at the beginning of each video.

Keep the old German flag. It's a part of history.

[@va7dgp]

look out for the Alaska Bush People

[@travisdehning1052]

I enjoyed the video. I enjoyed Kodiak when I was there. I just wish you had more respect for your countries flag and the United States flag. That was nothing more than a stright slap in the face. That flag needed to be retired long ago as well as the German flag. Have some respect man.

[@sailingZERO]

It is not out of disrespect. Its actually the opposite. I didn't had another one and not flying a courtesy flag is disrespectful in my opinion. Unfortunately they don't last long if its windy..

[@travisdehning1052]
