    Wow when u went swimming it's so beautiful I could cry. That water is the most beautiful sapphire blue 🔵 when u look down u can see nothing but blue. The visibility is crazy. There was nothing around no whales or fish not even a shrimp lol nothing. What an experience I hope to do this one day. I first saw a group of girls who rowed from San Francisco to Honolulu this summer & I followed their social media post the entire journey whenever they could post. & They swam in the same sapphire blue water you did. I've been interested in boating trips to Hawaii from California every since lol now I can't get enough watching these videos

    Too late now, but for others who want to swim off a becalmed boat in the middle of the ocean.... please throw a line with float off the stern. Turning tiller to one side or the other may also be a good idea. If a breeze or current starts to move the boat faster than you can swim, it might save your life. Safety first.

    Your goal of circumnavigation should have begun with your own sailboat rather than hitching rides from sailors.
    Although it is common for sailors to seek volunteer deck mates for longer passages, it's also common to set them ashore at the first opportunity if they fail to hold up their end, are poor company or for any reason whatsoever.
    A 30 foot boat requires total comparability and teamwork not often experienced anywhere else. Even loving marriages sometimes go south after long passages as well as boats "for sale" in far-away destinations.
    I did enjoy the very informative video. Thanks for posting it.

      @@Routesofchange Yes, that was, and is, very ambitious of you and brave. I think you'd be surprised how many guys have crossed big oceans with very modest boats, some of them homebuilt and others auction wrecks...
      There are sea-gypsies even now, scattered all over the world and living on very little and seeing the world too.
      The main requirement is courage (which you already have) and an old boat (which you can get.)
      Then it'll be your turn to maroon some disagreeable deck-hand.

    I'm a Maine lobsterman a 6th generation lobsterman to be exact, I just wanted to comment on the bananas being bad luck this is taken seriously by most Maine salts other superstitions are you are never allowed to whistle on a boat Also bad luck, you can never use the word pig 🐖 hog, pork or any word to describe a pig another one is that it is considered really bad luck to paint your boat blue 🔵 and never change a boats name if you buy one used, keep the name it has. On a lighter note it's considered really good luck to get pooped on by a seagull or any other type of sea bird. And if you ever catch lump fish in your trap you have to kiss it before you throw it back 😜 I'm not ashamed to say i have kissed many o lump fish! Anyway cool videos 👍 and safe travels guys!

    Honestly; I might be scared to swim in that. I'd be scared of the Kracken. In all seriousness, I've snorkelled and scuba in Caribbean reefs multiple times through out my life, sometimes from my own rented boat. I could always see the bottom. I've been down as far as 80 feet, to the bottom. I never thought much about it before, but looking at your video of swimming in the middle of the Pacific; I might be scared to do that. I'm sure I'd do it though, if I was there, looks awesome! Overall it looks like quite an ordeal, good luck to you. Watch out for the giant squid.

    Anyone with a sailboat and the courage to cut the dock lines can go anywhere there is an ocean...An that means he whole world!.
    It has always been this way and the world has always been within the sailors reach, even when they didn't always know where they were after getting there.
    Engines and modern technology helps but traditional sailing craft and skills are still king, at least for smaller vessels.

      @@norml.hugh-mann Yes, you're correct. With names like Mointesserier, Hiscock, Pardy and others, pioneering the way and with GPS, SAT Phones and modern building materials including Dacron sail cloth. There are little excuses left not to attempt ocean voyaging.
      In fact, I would say that now is a golden age and a time for sailors everywhere, to follow their dreams without reservations.
      Even if you experienced a catastrophic sinking, a life boat should sustain you and an Epirb should summon help.

      US Navy routinely authorizes "steel beach parties." These are open-ocean swim parties from the decks of ships and surfaced submarines. They post shark lookouts while they swim and proceed to jump from the decks and horse around.
      I don't think any sailor has ever been lost or attacked.
      Most of the fear or anxieties are hatched in our heads .

      I might be wrong but I'm thinking this might have been his first sailboat crossing but he is posting the video out of order. If you think about it, it seems he just met Dave, sailed with him, and then rented the boat from Dave for solo sailing. Also, if he started in Canada and departed in this boat with Dave from California, how would he have got to California if he was already a continent away. I'm not sure why he posted it so late but that seems to make sense.
