Are We Ready to Sail Across the World's Largest Ocean? - Episode 108

[@TMF1954]

Your feelings of insecurity towards the coming crossing are to be expected. From what I've seen of how you've readied yourselves for this trip, I'm certain you are as prepared as can be. You've both demostrated your ingenuity and resilience in the face of disaster and setbacks. You'll do well no matter what you encounter ahead. These next weeks of your journey are going to be an adventure for you as well as we folks following along.

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks for such nice words, Terrance! We are looking forward to sharing our next video!

[@davidteague7779]

Brooke that still shot leaving the Port Captains office said it all Onward my friends !!! 🤩

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, David!! Onward indeed!

[@gcrauwels941]

You are ready. A lot of hard work and it's time! Fair winds. Btw, I showed my wife the Steve Jobs yacht and she said it looks like a kid made it out of Legos. 😂😂😂 Dang, that's a travesty of displacement.

[@SailingOneLife]

Steve Jobs yacht is wild looking! Would love to see the inside!

[@obieandlaurie]

My Sunday just got a lot better ….making Birria tacos as we watch! 🌮 🤗

[@SailingOneLife]

Mmmm, Birria tacos!! Eat a couple extra for us! We miss tacos! 💙

You guys are blessed with your freedom. Luckily it appears Gary can fix virtually anything!

[@SailingOneLife]

Hi Tom! Thank you :) One Life is certainly lucky to have Gary as captain!

The moment has finally arrived, the bilge pump craps out and you can't get off the dock, I love how you both just laughed that all off... Where there is a will, there is a way... big shout out to the dingy guy, thanks for getting these 2 on their way! lol

[@SailingOneLife]

Hahaha, what a bunch of rookies! Yes, huge shout out to the man in the dinghy! Thanks, Bruce!

[@grahamcoffer1720]

Brilliant couple. Your provisional of the boat was truly impressive

[@SailingOneLife]

Thank you, Graham! It has taken us 3 years to figure out how to provision correctly for this. Hahaha

[@rickdoner5181]

You will both do great!

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Rick! :)

The best way to find out Kitty is to get her out on the ocean. If anything is going to happen, it's going to happen out there. Good Luck!

I love your calm attitudes and smiles (at least outwardly) as you finagle the crazy Mexico check out process. Brooke, your leap a the end of the process was priceless! Even the couple of glitches needing repair as well as the leaving the dock challenge didn’t dampen your spirits. You are finally on your way! I’m sure One Life will take good care of you. We'll be watching. Wishing you all the best on your adventure…

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Steve! Ha, yeah we used to let all those little things really bother us but we've learned to just roll with it! We are looking forward to sharing our crossing with everyone!

Happy Sunday y'all, Be safe and enjoy the sail. 😜😀👍

[@SailingOneLife]

Thanks, Gibb! 💙

[@MrFroglips69]

This has been a long road, and the excitement has been growing with every new day, and with every project finished. You guys really have had your shit together throughout your refit, etc. It now looks like your about ready to sail off into the deep blue sea. This is so groovy. Take it slow and easy, and enjoy your trip. Stay safe and stay groovy.

I have watched all of the videos, and you two have grown so much since the beginning. One life looks great she takes to sail like a champion. That's all you can ask for she's strong and ready you are ready to ❤

Great show. I know you are several weeks behind and have made it to the islands. Your vigilance in preparation for this trip is top notch. Your apprehension is understandable. But you attitude is spot on. Look forward to the next video.

Mexico sure made you guys work hard to leave! But La Paz seemed to be a good place to provision. This moment right before leaving had to be super exciting for you. It might sound a bit sappy but I'm really proud of you guys.

I can't imagine how hard it is to make a provisions list planning out meals I can't even plan out a week of meals here at home. Praying for you to have safe passage no breakdowns and just sail into the wind and do each other and nature that you will be surrounded by. God bless

[@SailingOneLife]

Hi Kris! Thank you! I secretly love provisioning hahaha!

Ooooooh, yes, you two are ready 🎉 I still remember the tears of not getting this dream to come true when in the yard and the rudder was no good. One Life is also ready. Just the actual casting off the lines and you're off ‼️ And you just did that at the end of this episode. Bon Voyage ‼️ Looking forward to the voyage episodes.

[@mycroft0078]

I am presuming that as the video ends with your departure that you have made it safely. I believe that I heard the skipper on Parley Revival mention you as being on their radar in their livestream when they crossed the Equator a while back. As their weekly video is also about their leaving La Paz, it is good to know that you had a "buddy boat" not to far off during the cross. Nevertheless, each boat makes the crossing alone. Congratulations, and looking forward to your adventures in Polynesia.

[@SailingOneLife]

Thank you so much! Yes, it is certainly nice to know someone you know is in the area but your right each boat makes the crossing alone. We appreciate the well wishes! :)

[@adrenazanetti3660]

So true! It’s always a good feeling to know their are others near by when crossing a weeks long ocean !

Hi Richard! You are the second person to asking for more details on provisioning. Maybe I'll do an episode on it in the future!

[@HopeOfJoe]

@@SailingOneLife.....no maybes. Just like crossing the Pacific, you do it!! Maybe write an eBook and sell it for $5. But if you have a strategy, and you are part of the boating community, some guidelines from a pro is a must. 😊

[@jerrymacvaldosta]

Great! I can ONLY imagine the feeling of casting off for a 3 week solo passage across the ocean. No people, no boats, no land, just water (lots and lots of water). Imagine how Columbus and his crew felt when they cast off. Good luck and thanks for taking us along!

Brooke, will you someday do a stand alone video about provisioning, food storage, and prolonged food storage? Fair winds on your trip across the Pacific. You two have been planning well and are very adept at fielding the curve balls that are thrown your way. Yes, spares! Spares for spares!

[@SailingOneLife]

Hi Rodney! A provisioning video sounds like a great idea. I have wanted to do one for quite some time but always seems like when we are in the act of provisioning itself, we are in a hurry to get everything put away, etc. I'll try to do a video mostly of talking but with b roll and flashback footage.

[@mort-u1n]

@@SailingOneLife That was a great view. That was a crazy shallow spot you were in. My 6ft draft gets to within a foot at low tide. There is a big electrical cable in the channel near the Hotel. Low tide is a problem for sailboats with 7 ft or more. I am on a flight to La Paz now. It's 100 degrees there. That will be fun🤣
