How To Cross the Pacific Ocean: Passage Planning and Weather Routing 💨 Sailing Vessel Delos

[@Joe-zt7ef]

This is very interesting, most people think you just jump in the boat and cross an ocean, the planning that gos into a crossing is incredible, takes a lot of smarts thats for sure.

[@palkallevag6557]

You can just take the Jack Sparrow approach and jump in boat.. a plan is a good start but you can not control mother nature.

Plus there is so much paperwork involved to leave a country and entering another country. Not like when Joshua Slocum set sail around the world in a modified fishing boat with a few barrels of food, a few barrels of water. Fishing gear, A Winchester and a shotgun.

So excited for you guys. In my 70’s so have to set this bucket list item aside. That’s why your site is so important to me. I can share your adventure and it brightens my day.

I'm well into my 70s and planning to sail the Pacific. It's never too late to venture out.

my respect for Brian grows year after year - a remarkable man, all be safe/well on passage

[@nakamakai5553]

O M G what a non-stop learning fest. Now I want to go to college all over again, and I want Prof Brian for every class - he can explain anything to anyone and everything to everyone. I'd say run for office and save us all, but I love the videos too much. Keep on keeping on, really looking forward to this crossing!

[@daviddigital6887]

I'll be honest, I lost a bit of interest during the last few years but these latest videos remind me the old days. The new crew, a long Pacific passage and back into the part of the world where it all started. Don't get me wrong, I always kept up with you guys because your nice family. Just some honest feedback.

[@tomquinn5437]

You are so fortunate to have earned the respect of all these companies and to have their equipment onboard. Your planning and experience is second to none. Thanks for who you are and what you do.

[@rayb3117]

For first time sailors and or novices, this was a great bit of information. Especially from one of the original sailing channels. So your information is premium. Thanks guys.

[@svdelos]

Glad it was helpful!

[@jimmy-buffett]

Two Delos videos last week and this week, hooray! Always love when you guys are on a passage.

[@svdelos]

Glad you like them!

[@pbrantley9496]

We would like to see every aspect of your route planning, weather planning and adjustments on the way, how you use your navigation equipment and programs, sails and sail changes with consideration of current conditions and projected conditions. Everything sailing, please. Did enjoy those 8 hour videos of just sailing.

[@foggyqubti6288]

My husband died 4 years ago and Delos got me through my heavy grieving....I'm still here❤

[@orionNsirius]

I remember the first time I watched your video in 2016 was about crossing pacific that you did much earlier. Now you are crossing again. Wow, this is a voyage of circumnavigation. Congratulations.

[@kiki.arielscrystalco]

Have a wonderful passage guys, fair winds and following seas, much love!

[@backAtCha9132]

Extremely interesting and thought-provoking episode. Shows what really goes into the planning and execution in order to not only complete the transit, but to do it safely. You are living my dream, I'm nearly 70 with 22 years of Naval service, over 17 years assigned to small platforms. While I've seen my share of time at sea, my dream was to sail around the world on my own boat. At my age I'll have to settle for doing it vicariously through you guys!! Fair winds and following seas!!

[@glencrandall7051]

What a contrast, planning today vs 20 years ago. The tools available today are mind boggling. Thank you for sharing. Have a great sail and stay safe.🙂🙂

[@ramilbautista4573]

Delos and her crew always provide us with knowledge. my dream is to sail or atleast be part of a sailing crew but life here is tough. I know I will do that somebody but I will happily absurb any knowledge possible. Thank you Capt Brian for this!

Such a great video SV Delos… You are the best, we are just starting our sailing journey and learning so much from you …we hope to cross the Pacific in the next 18 months ⛵️⛵️

That was fantastic, looks like it made for a great crossing, I have a lot to learn about forecasts and predictions. Just left to head south from San Francisco, and the wind was 180 of the prediction, I probably could have noticed the instability in the area if I knew more, or had more experience...I will keep learning. Thanks

You might consider updating the link on your web page to the 9th edition of World Cruising 2022 since the 7th edition is 2014. Some hurricane season windows have changed over the last 8~9 years.

Off the beaten path sounds really great. Let’s go. Dock life is really getting old . Your right the hardest thing to do is leave the dock for long term cruising

@@alexandradane3672 Parlay Revival uploaded his Panama canal passage 4 months after the canal crossing. Many youtubers are weeks or months behind in their vdo uploadings. It gives them time to do other things...like flying home, going to boat shows. A few weeks ago, I watched a New Year vdo from one of them.

Brian, great video. But a minor correction: the “Horse latitudes” are not the same as the doldrums aka ITCZ. The horse latitudes are at approximately +/- 30 degrees (as shown in the video at 2:16).

[@SailingOTR]

How To Cross the Pacific Ocean. For most folks it is easy. You start somewhere on the east side and point your boat west. Keep going until you hit the big brown part at the western edge. Do not go during cyclone, hurricane, etc. season. For the more adventurous. Start on the west side, generally in the higher latitudes and go east until you hit the big brown part at the eastern edge. Best done in the late spring or early summer.
