31:08 "Seth" on battery management

[@shawfoto]

Tour 40-minute video was so enjoyable. I am very jealous of your trip. Thye two of you are so happy together fair winds.

[@sailingposttime]

Thank you so much!

[@ryanh4889]

Great episode! Dont let others tell you to make them longer or shorter. Do what you want. Im sure you realized by know that your battery 'monitor' is basically worthless. You need a shunt to measure all current in and out of the house bank. I am a yacht technician and my favorite is the Victron BVM712. Safe travels!

[@markbuskens6070]

Your content has gotten better and better,this is a big deal to go from California to Hawaii!!Loved the previous episode and this one is as good or better than it.Content is either informing or hilarious 😊or entertaining!!love the new Catalina too !!!!!😍😍👍👍

[@sailingposttime]

Thank you so much for the encouragement! 😊

[@oliversmith-xq5yt]

I agree with all you said above!! ^^

[@christianachristiano9268]

Love how long this video is. All the camera angles. And dolphin content ❤ never change

[@faithwebb861]

Good job. Long trip. Lots of water.good attitude.

[@buddyyaussy5772]

What an adventure!

[@EnriqueDeQuesada101]

I love your boat guys!

[@sailingposttime]

Thank you! We love Post Time too ;)

[@markhoene9984]

Great job editing. Nice music.

[@sailingposttime]

Thank you so much! We are glad you enjoyed it (& the music!)

[@arthur4818]

When you are in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the closest people are on the Space Station

[@sailingposttime]

Woah! That’s a crazy thought!

[@garyseven777]

Congratulations 🎉it is soooo good to see you sailing! All that work is paying off. Keep it up! Someday you will be going around the world. Hope to see you out there some day. Hugs 🤗

[@sailingposttime]

Thank you! We hope to see you out at sea one day! 🫡

[@jimpeterson5436]

Part 2 was very good. Glad the wind filled in some. Question, did you adjust the ship time while you were sailing or keep it on LA time until you got to Hawaii?

[@sailingposttime]

Great question! We had daylight savings mid trip, so we ended up just keeping us on original CA time (pre daylight savings) for the entire trip.

Skin problems usually start with what you eat. This is coming from someone who has had acne problems all his life. I cut out what I discover what I’m “allergic” to and acne gone. For me it’s butter, granola bars, I think canola oil not positive but I avoid it, if I eat a certain amount of peanuts, ramen noodles(unless I rinse the noodles), burgers from certain fast food places(the greasier it looks the most likely I’ll break out from it), and a whole long list. I love butter too, so I won’t really eat anything with it unless I’m prepared to break out. It’s almost never anything topical that causes it.

[@sailingposttime]

100%. Internal is always the indicator!I’m sure ramen and easy meals on passage didn’t help a whole lot 🙃🙃

[@oliversmith-xq5yt]

Great video- I love it!! Way to go!

[@sailingposttime]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@christopherhutchings9621]

Good looking meal 🇺🇸

[@EeeDee1]

Can you tell me what that song is at 27:30 ?

[@sailingposttime]

Pokettoni by Sugoi 😊

[@davidsandowich8427]

As a Catalina 42 owner I was attracted to your videos. You’re on a steep learning curve ...not easy at times but as long as your better for it in the end , you win. Although 100s of miles off shore can be teacher with little mercy. Keep learning what is involved in risk management. Curious question...from what I see oil the video your boat does not have swept back spreaders . From my knowledge this was a standard feature since the using was launched in ’89. Am I missing something or was that a modification like the self tacking jib?

[@sailingposttime]

That is a good question. We do have swept back spreaders and we love them! ! Glad we have a Catalina lover joining us- thank you for watching!

[@thecirinos]

Oh my.

[@MadMarv.]

I'm curious how you like taking a long passage on the Catalina. It definitely could use a few more handholds.

[@sailingposttime]

It actually surprising wasn't bad for a long crossing. Could maybe have a few more, but the kitchen had quite a bit which was helpful when cooking!

[@gatesstephens4376]

Ahem** Galley. Your boat doesnt have a kitchen.

[@MadMarv.]

@@gatesstephens4376 I understood the answer perfectly without need for nautical terms. It's a safe bet that a lot of subscribers aren't sailors or care about their word choice. I think it adds to the charm of the channel.

[@gatesstephens4376]

Exactly my point of making the correction. A lot of non sailors watch this. This couple is taking on this adventure. They are becoming sailors. Whether they want to or not, they are also educating those that aren’t. They have a responsibility to educate themselves and do it properly. Sailing has been around for thousands of years and the you tube generation just comes along and calls things whatever they want?

[@robert953]

What's your go to sundowner?

[@sailingposttime]

Will never turn down a kombucha 🙃

[@davidm5902]

You need some alpaca socks!

[@blairatwell1]

Nice video... I had a Hunter 45 Legend(about 46'10" ), and sailed to Catalina about 2x per month with my small dog 🐕, hiking the ridge trails...and anchoring ⚓️ just west of Two Harbors, at Indian Rock. Anyway, Seth needs to practice a bit of speech "clarity" it would be easy on that trip-use the camera and play back(he's hard to understand at the moment 🤷‍♂️ Also, I'm pretty sure Mahi-Mahi, are not Tuna🤔 PS, I liked and subscribed 👍😎 ⛵️

[@sailingposttime]

Thanks for joining us here and showing us some like button love! And agreed- The whole trip I (Natalia) kept thinking a mahi mahi was a tuna. Wish we would have had google access at sea haha!

[@blairatwell1]

@@sailingposttime Hey, thanks for replying 😊 I noticed that your main sheet blocks are not at there best optimization. The front block isn't really doing anything, so 98% of the sheet force is on the aft block(and that "U" fitting throught the boom). I could send a picture, but, the sheet could go from the mast, to the first boom block, then down to the traveler block, then up to the rear boom block, then back down to the traveler block, then back up to the rear boom block. This would also give 4-1 ratio, vs your current 3-1 ratio. You might not need 4-1, so, that last trip back up to the rear boom block could be skipped( tying it off to the traveler block...)🙃 Aanyway, the main reason for the first two "legs" is to distribute the sheet loading onto two points on the boom. Just a thought, cheers 🍻

[@sailingposttime]

Wow. We are going to look at this today. You have a point and foreshadow something that happens in a future video. Good eye and good tip!!

[@qweenyk1758]

When did you depart an arrived?

[@sailingposttime]

We departed 10/31. Stay tuned to see when we arrived 😊

[@qweenyk1758]

Thank you. Yes I’ll be waiting. I’m from Hawaii myself. Will be sailing our boat back home to Hawaii in April 2024.

[@rolandoarias-v8n]

💚💚💪⛵

[@shaneparrish9991]

You should get some red headlamps for night

[@sailingposttime]

We did have head lamps that have a white or red light option! Definitely made the night watches easier. :)

[@davegreene3706]

A few things for you guys: number one, shorten your videos. They should only be 20 to 30 minutes long. Secondly, look up the rule of thirds. A little composition using the rule of thirds were really help the quality of what your showing. Change your camera angle very uncomfortable looking up your nose all the time get it up to about high level and abide by the rule of thirds. The dolphin thing, don’t tell me about the dolphins you see out the window and don’t give long speech you gave at the end of showing dolphins. Edit your edit your audio use that long speech while you’re showing the dolphins and your excitement make it more alive and engaging. I don’t mean to be critical and I hope you take this as constructive criticism. You guys seem fun and you have got some challenges ahead. Make it more interesting. And ask for battery management you probably know. I hope your lights are all LED. Let the batteries suck. Good luck with what you’re doing.😊

[@svdeezknots]

Do me next

[@christianachristiano9268]

Says the creepy old man with no videos and no subscribers, who took time out of his day to write a paragraph on a young woman's video. Hope you feel better about yourself, I'm sure it's hard to watch people thrive and do their best

[@Hardtack-mq3me]

Your videos are like a bad car wreck - you can't not look. You are woefully inadequate in preparation and ability for these passage attempts. Yes, you obviously made it (it took two trys) but it was not without challenges that didn't need to exist. Much better preparation, understanding and ability to manage systems on your boat would have gone a long way. From power to sails to safety. Having had to hand steer this entire passage is a new level of purgation. And stop saying that you are making a Pacific Ocean crossing. You are not crossing the Pacific...you happen to be making a passage in a small portion of the Pacific from CA to HI.

[@oliversmith-xq5yt]

Like you ever sailed and did a passage like this before or did it while young. You’re just jealous lol.

[@christianachristiano9268]

I'd love to know how many bad yelp reviews you've written 😂
