One thing I learned early on was to sleep with my feet facing forward. if you hit something hard in these increasingly trashy waters you're less likely to break your neck! Keep on trucking mama!

[@peterpedersen1641]

Tak, Erik... Nice video showing you harrowing trip... I am 69 years old now, two weeks ago... I delivered sailboats through the mid 70s to mid 80's and then took many trips through the 90's all going from the NYC area delivering only large sailboats, 36 to 80 plus. Only hiring crew I needed, but many times alone. One trip in particular, from Tiverton Rhode Island down to NJ. Usually an easy two to three day sail in good weather. Turned into a harrowing experience. Around 1977, a mate and I began in sunny weather, NO GPS in those days, no good advance weather. A hurrican was coming up the coast below New Jersey and as we were heading down Long Island NY, we hit 40 know winds, 20 to 30 foot seas, sometimes going to 50 feet. No sails up we were making 10 ti 11 knots!! My mate began to cry, thinking we were going to die. I stayed tethered to the helm all night into the next day. The mate was calling Coast Guard for a rescue. I didn't know about that. They said we were on our own as they had lost 5 other yachts out near us. I miss those days... LOL.. Nice videos you put out. I am now a subscriber. Be safe Lad...

I don’t know if I just watched complete recklessness or supreme confidence in boat and equipment. Probably both. Erik, this is flying too close to the sun. Don’t get Icarus’ Syndrome. It only takes a small, but significant failure of any part of the boat, and this goes from being entertaining to tragic. Safety first… requires margin or buffer. Don’t be on the limit. Stay safe!
