19 year old crossing the Pacific alone

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.

Really eye-opening to see how his experiences were reflected on his face from the start to finish. Looked a smidge older by the end. What a neat trip!

Stoked I stumbled across this channel. No crazy edits, just raw life at sea. Content here may be boring to some, but this is the kind of stuff I could watch for hours. Thanks Garrett. Hoping for fair winds and following seas.

[@gilyoung9869]

nice backhanded compliment

[@JO-hj4kp]

@@gilyoung9869it’s not backhanded if it’s true. Most people have a very low attention span and need all kinds of edits and yelling like Mr beast to stay intrigued the whole video

[@piplol2609]

Mad respect to you, man. You're only one year older than me which is very inspiring for me to try something similar to what you're doing.

[@ArmaanSingh-uu6mb]

i felt anxious while watching..hats off buddy for your courage

[@KhalifBeats]

No matter the age or class upbringing, it doesn’t matter. This takes rock solid confidence, intelligence, patience and competence to do so and it is a hell of an achievement. Hella inspiring!

[@mattaddison1910]

I'm pretty sure way more people would try it if they had the money. This guy's a rich kid. Ofcourse he can afford it.

[@tony9146]

@@mattaddison1910point is that there’s PLENTY of rich kids out there and very, very few ever take advantage of their privileged access to resources to undertake such an arduous undertaking. I respect it. Most rich kids prefer to flaunt their parents wealth and know nothing of hard work due to their upbringing. This kid, whose upbringing we know nothing about, clearly has spent a lot of time learning to sail and pushes himself into these kinds of challenges. He’s humble and doesn’t brag about his boat or anything like that.

[@MeestahBinks]

Man as a 29 year old with 3 kids who’s only been on a boat a couple of times as a kid I’m super jealous! Don’t ever take for granted your opportunities and blessings!! Keep on adventuring and good luck, you seem like you’ll do great things in life!

[@JC-ih8po]

Wow wow wow. Watching this from the UK and I wish some of our younger adult's have the drive that you have. Unfortunately we see so many of them taking wrong turns. To be 19 years old and do this feat!!! Like wow!! Hats off to you bro!

[@jcmjcm1945]

I grew up from age 3 to 15 on a trimaran. My dad refused to let me sail on my own till I was 21. He always said the seas are like a pirate haven. Congrats for this kid and I hope you reach your dreams

[@jasoncummings4994]

Ok, so thank you KZbin for recommending this video. I’m so impressed with your skill and bravery young man. I read one of the earlier comments that said that you are living the dream and I have to agree. Be safe and keep the vids coming when u can. May you be blessed with safe winds.

Dis guy 19 years old and flying some rocket ship in the ocean and I’m 41 still smokin’ dust playing Fortnite in my mom’s basement. Shit is real.

I would've lost it so many times on this trip. Your calm demeanor is an inspiration. This was epic!

[@ibreakifix]

Wow, I have never sailed the Pacific, yet this 19 year old has motivated me! Thank you, Garrett! I am departing from Atlantic city NJ tomorrow morning. Got my inner tube packed and THIS TIME, i am bringing a 20 pack of patches. LOL! See you on the other side fellas.

[@taekkim7260]

What a brave soul. Massive respect!

[@mvcaroline]

Good on you, Garrett! I grew up sailing and ocean racing and at 22 began my first circumnavigation. I'm now 76 and in my third circumnavigation. I will be following your progress and matbe we will cross paths at some point. I am heading toward Panama from Alaska at this point. Cheers to you, keep the faith, you can do it! - Pete phillips

[@meyr1992]

“you can do it” you realize that he already finished the voyage by the time this video was released?

That takes some guts to step out there like that by yourself. i admire you kid. Stay safe 🤙🏼

[@gabrielsteen7290]

You are inspiring me a lot and i respect you a lot. Espacially when you lost your Phone and saw the good in it. Not many people would have Done that. You are a big W man ❤

This is something that I would never do so mad respect for even attempting this let alone completing it!!

[@karenbarnard1951]

Just saying. I am 61, I would have loved to do this! Never have I sailed, but this is awesome! I appreciate your courage. I spent my younger years backpacking in the wilds. And still backpack. But this is amazing. Thank you , Garrett. Be safe.

[@ronswanson4173]

Is he sailing? I believe when he was tryna sleep in the beginning he started the engine so sail boats have engines for back up?

[@ilikepiewithcream123]

yes

What an incredible adventure to have at any age, let alone 19. Enjoyed your detailed updates throughout the trip.

[@Valentino016]

I love solo traveling. Sailing on a boat solo looks so peaceful and the experience must have been a wild one cause you sailed back and forth 30 days each. This is incredible man and the sunset looks insane when in the middle of the ocean.

Takes a special kind of person to be that alone let alone at sea, huge props and huge nuts, hope he catches all his dreams because he’s definitely a CHASER!!
