[@jackfanning7952]

A lovely adventure in a beautiful, maritime environment. However, living life to the fullest requires a community of like-minded individuals. We are relational beings and cannot be happy without good relationships. Lone wolves only exist alone until they find a pack to be in.

Enjoy it my man! When I was 23 I drove from LA to Alaska and it was one of the best times of my life. Lots of open country, abandoned logging sites, animals...feels almost like your videos, the exploration of it all, going places where you can wonder if you're the first person to have stepped foot there. You're gonna look back on this fondly for the rest of your life. Have fun!

[@jamesvanian5524]

Thank you so much Garrett for showing us these unique and beautiful places. Love the underwater photography, amazing. You have my admiration for what you are doing, living your life to the full at a young age. Never forget you are doing something very special. Keep well and safe. James.

I read lots of comments of how difficult it is to be alone in the middle of nowhere. Who says he's alone? He is with the birds, the sharks, the corals, the crabs, the wind that pushes his vessel, the tides that give him comfort, the sun that gives him life. Yup, he's definitely not alone.

I grew up in a small town of Kapoho on the big island of Hawaii this video reminds me so much of what I used to do as a kid in the 80’s …miles of beach by myself swimming in tidal pools, exploring every nook and cranny of the coast line and the little bay…. until in 2018 lava flowed into that area and completely destroyed, the little town our home and the bay are used to swim in. There’s literally no trace of it left.

[@-sensibleChris]

That is very sad. Hang in to those great memories though. That was truly sweet freedom. I dream of the same.

[@user-tz5xn4di6d]

growing up in the 80s was soo much fun, no gadgets close to nature climbing trees and mountains. beautiful times

[@masterblaster2626]

Yea, that shack on that tiny little island is crazy ... i can just imagine someone there popping up and asking you what you'd like to drink! Also, great job on mixing-in the drone footage and music. I'm amazed at how talented some of you young people are ... hats off. Keep up the good work!

Loved those islands!! As I get older, I love my peace and serenity and could easily spend a few days on those islands away from the world!

[@DarkSpells87]

There is something surreal about watching this while having heavy snowstorm outside. Just discovered the channel and after watching you cross the Pacific I just realized what kind of a whiny kid I was at my 19s playing video games and doing basically nothing. Now, in mid thirties, I think I still wouldn't have the courage to do anything similar. A very brave, strong-willed young sailor.

[@jburnett8152]

Really been enjoying the ballsiness of your adventure and each video keeps inproving in your production. I could not handle the isolation but to stand on that totally empty atoll with so much ocean in every direction and know how you got there has got to be an incredible feeling. I just bought my own boat and will be spending summers cruising the Great Lakes to the places I went as a kid. You def are a good reminder that we can do anything we want if we just commit. Keep sailing my dude.

When I imagine traveling to Europe alone in my 20s in the 1990s I can’t believe I did that. Ask me now that I am older ? I would tell you HELL NO as I would be caught up in fear.😊, crazy. Keep pumping out your expeditions here on the channel because like everyone else on here I AM ALL IN👍 Just curious any CELL SERVICE ON YOUR LAST ISLAND…..LOL

[@timanderson2301]

Absolutely breathtaking. You’re on quite an adventure finding some amazing places. God’s creation is truly remarkable. In fact, the Bible tells us that: ”For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.“ -Romans‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬ Without excuse from what? Well, have you ever done anything that might have displeased God? Like told some lies? Stolen something? Used God’s name as a cuss word (blasphemy)? These are just a few of the Ten Commandments and we’ve all broken them. In other words, ”for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,“ -Romans‬ ‭3‬:‭23‬ Which means we’re all in trouble on judgement day. ‭ ”And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,“ -Hebrews‬ ‭9‬:‭27 So what’s the big deal? It’s actually a very big deal. It’s life or death. ”For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.“ -Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭23‬. The bad news is we have earned death (wages) because of our sin against a Holy God. The GOOD news is in the second half of that verse. God provided an escape. God offers eternal life as a gift. Which means we can accept it or reject it. What did Jesus do? ”For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,“ ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ Why would he do that? He LOVES you! ”But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.“ -Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭8‬ How do you accept this gift of eternal life and go to heaven? Simply BELIEVE my friend. ”“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.“ ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬. Believe also means “to have faith in” or to “trust “. ”Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,“ ‭‭Romans‬ ‭5‬:‭1‬ ‭ Repent and trust Jesus today Garrett. ”for He says…Behold, now is “the acceptable time,” behold, now is “the day of salvation“ -2 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭2‬ Garrett, I’ve quoted the Bible so that you would know that I’m not telling you some clever scheme I’ve dreamed up. This is straight from God’s word. And God cannot lie. And the Bible tells us we can KNOW we’re going to heaven. ”that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. for “Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.”“ -Romans‬ ‭10‬:‭9‬-‭10‬, ‭13‬. ”These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.“ ‭‭1 John‬ ‭5‬:‭13‬ ‭ Enjoy, man! And God bless❤

His inspiring book, titled Dove, was published in 1972; Dove was the name of his boat.

Sitting in my project room with boat parts everywhere, a half-disassembled new AIS, the newly built snubber I haven't whipped the eyes on yet, new battery electronics whose interface I'm still trying to figure out, the new igniter to put in my Force 10 stove that's twice as old as you are, and the lines I could pull for laundering over the winter, now waiting for warm days to put back. With a few inches of snow on the ground outside and my boat on the hard, it's part inspiration, part torture to see your tropical paradise, but I'm glad you're living that life right now. Maybe next winter I'll be in the Caribbean doing the same. From the shores of Lake Ontario, ahoy, fair winds and following seas!
