Solo Sailing - Australia to Indonesia

[@scoop-n7o]

You make it look like and effortless journey! I love the idea of being a sailor, but when the weather gets rough, I'm quite happy to be just watching on KZbin! 😂 Enjoy the journey. Looks like an amazing way to live.

[@steveburke7675]

Solo sailor? Subbed. I don't do the couples channels anymore. 90% drama/ 10% sailing.

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

Easy life. Im now 4 months behind you !!

[@sailingyachttruce]

4 months and a few years :)

[@followtheboat]

Great passage with some excellent sailing! Nice to see the Hole in the Wall too, which I'd heard so much about. Love your son's music 👍👍

[@SCOTT-vm5nj]

Awesome boat! You’re a lucky guy…

[@wow.sailor.]

Wow Sailor great episode ❤

[@SmallSailboatCruising]

So glad I found this. Looks like a sudden breakthrough for you on KZbin. Well done you deserve the result. Here’s why I enjoyed it. Slow and relaxed. Highly competent and highly authentic. Impressed with your self steering setup. Great videography. Nice boat with plenty of character. I’m tired of the gen X stuff. Thanks so much, I know what goes into these productions. Cheers Chris.

[@sailingyachttruce]

Thanks Chris, I am a novice at this stuff. Will try and make some more in the future. I have a blog www.truce.nz you may want to check out. Cheers, Ray

Love your videos. Thanks for posting them. Nice to see some actual sailing on a great boat.

[@sailingyachttruce]

Thanks for the kind words. I am not much of a video recorder and often forget to record something when it gets interesting. Yes, Truce is a lovely old girl and still skips along.

I used to fly for Australian Border Force…..loved seeing the Wessells.

[@JPaz-cr8os]

This is great! I'm planning on sailing from Cairns to Saumlaki later this year. Please comments any pearls of wisdom you may have for me!

[@sailingyachttruce]

Checking out of Gove was easy and avoided Darwin. You can check into Saumlaki without an agent, for ease I used Bobby [phone] and he whips you around the offices on his motorbike.

[@davidcaskie6680]

What's the wind vane you’re using?

[@MrDaddiecool]

When conditions become unbearable I would change course to more of a broad reach. it would be more comfortable even if it takes longer. Your heart won't break with every slap :)

[@radupaul8260]

[@alanmelvillesbicycleriding1085]

I like your nicely paced smooth pans at the beginning and the limited talking head. It's nice to see the surrounds. When you do your voice overs, are you able to silence the scratch audio as it interferes with the VO? Keep up the good work though.

[@sailingyachttruce]

Thanks for the tips!

[@wadidesembri]

selamat datang 😊

[@sailingyachttruce]

Terima kasih

[@SabdoBagusIngAti]

Hi capt , nice video. Is it u capt, u ever been joint unocal blkppn long time ago?

[@sailingyachttruce]

Yes it's me😂 worked in Balikpapan with Unocal. Small world.

[@johnmccormick4055]

What kind of stearing self steering you got John

[@sailingyachttruce]

Not a brand, home made with a trim tab on the main rudder. Works a treat.

[@murattoksal3377]

❤😍🧿👍

[@ecnavttocs]

enjoyed your vid. From old fart with cruising aspirations

[@anthonyburke5656]

I’m so dammed jealous, contact me any time you want a novice crew member who is an old man and house trained. I’d like to learn so I can buy my own boat!

[@raymunthe]

Capt, sepertinya sangat "santai" bagi anda untuk berlayar. Dan bagi kami yang awam, rasanya seperti jantungan. Welcome to Indonesia cap broo... : )

[@raypenson3425]

Terima kasih atas kata-kata baik dan selamat datang. Saya menikmati Indonesia.
