Sailing Across the Pacific Ocean on a 36-foot Beneteau - Ep 32

- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- It's not the right time to cross the Pacific and Galapagos is closed so we tackle the 4,000 miles from Panama to French Polynesia against the wind and the current at the wrong time. It is an epically fun adventure though and we loved it!

OK guys, pro tip, when you know you have a Fish on that’s going to steal all of your line and you will not be able to boat it with the rod you have it hooked on; you have two options. 1. Drop sail and Motor towards the fish.
2. Or firmly grasp of the spool of line while there are still several wraps around the spool and break the line at the leader instead of at the reel. Loss of lure but you get to keep your line. Best of luck! Smooth sailing!
Fantastic tip, thank you! We have just replaced most of our fishing gear so hopefully we don't have any more situations like this. We were ignorant going into the whole fishing thing and feel really bad about the fish we hooked but lost with gear still attached to them. We've gone to a heavier line, with smaller lures, and so far its working well. No more gear has been lost, and we're catching fish that are a manageable size.
When you hook a fish let out the sheets immediately given your undersized fishing gear and tackle. You don’t need a rod. You need 100 lb test tied to the stern rail and a pair of gloves.
Yep, we're learning!
The contrast between this and your Canaries passage (the first long haul) is incredible. You might not notice the difference in your demeanor but you're both so very confident now, I dare say you're beginning to _enjoy_ it!
Returning to watch one of my favourite sailing channels. It’s still so good and informative.
Good job enjoyed it very much.tks
Great job, great passage. Thank you for allowing me to join your adventure. Remember to wear your sunscreen! Not doing so in early life took me away from my 25 + yrs sailing adventures myself. 2 skin cancers, breast cancer, and am now on 9th round of surgeries, followed by....NO, NOT by following seas, but rather chemo. But....No worries, I'll kick ass on this also. I OH SO enjoyed your this part of your adventure. Look forward to more! This OH so helps me keep in the Carpe Diem mode, reminding me....I'll be back on the water again, sooner rather than later. Glad I found your site. Highest regards. Ty, Ty, Ty again. Be safe
At 80 years young you guys make me younger. Sold my 18’ day sailboat last summer
and great to continue sailing on your boat👍🌿
Glad we can keep you sailing John!
Just found your channel and have been binge watching. Keeping me positive whilst working from home. What a journey. I am inspired.
Brilliant!
I love her attitude.
Agree, she seems so positive.
Never underestimate having a way to put a outboard motor on a boat, even a good trick in a tight dock if you need alot of control without having thrusters.
Totally, such a great trick
Very impressive. Your guys made that look so easy and fun compared to others. Great couple dynamic as well. Have not seen a passage charted around currents rather than wind. Quite interesting. Well done!
Congratulations on the crossing. Well done. As a fellow Beneteau 361 sailor, it is nice to see someone taking one across the world!
Thank you! She's a good little boat!
The joys of sailing, thank you for sharing your journey!
Thanks for watching!
hey man your positive attitude is awesome best of luck fair winds ill be watching
Cheers Lloyd
I woke this morning on board SV Wahine in Tokyo Bay and watched this and not only I enjoyed it but was touched and moved. Loved the pics of `Florence` the hydrovane as I have also recently installed `Skylie ll` also a hydrovane and we are training for our own pacific crossing in a few months time ' Tokyo to Vancouver`
Good luck and enjoy your tie in the Marquesas
Awesome! You can’t go wrong with a hydrovane! Good luck on our Pacific crossing, enjoy!
I started watching your videos with this one and was inspired not just by your journey but by your couple dynamic, enthusiasm and perspective. I went back through all the videos in order and now find myself watching this again with fresh eyes -- knowing what you have gone through to get to this point.
Asher has become an excellent skipper and Dani you bring a level of reflection that goes beyond just commenting on your trip and sailing. I must admit I will be a little sad when your passage is over. Although the ocean adventure is coming to an end, I hope the story does not. I look forward to you building your home, getting married and buying a bigger boat -- then setting off on more adventures on the high seas.
Now I am off to become a Patreon and peruse the local ads for a sailboat.
Congratulations on your engagement and as you head back to New Zealand may you have fair winds and following seas.
CHEERS guys youre a grate team of sailors you got nothing to worry about youre well prepaired youre got everything you need but most of all the experience well done god bless cheers
Awesome !!!! I'm so Happy for you guy's, I was in Awww Just like you the first time I made the crossing leaving Cabo San Lucas. I was even more Blown away when we reached Nuku Hiva Just Like you, Asher the look on your face when you said it was beautiful was priceless..... On my trip the Captain was from New Zealand. a Kiwi the best sailors in the world ....Enjoy the rest of the trip guy's.....any hint's to wear you might go from there....
It was a pretty incredible place to arrive thats for sure. At the moment we are in Fakarava in the Tuamotus and it is mind-blowing. Going to be a difficult one to leave!
Congrats guys!!! It was a nice pacific crossing. Enjoy the Paradise
Thank you, it was certainly worth the 4,000 mile trip!
Sweeeeett as. Cheers indeed !!!
Congrats on your adventure and sharing it so brilliantly with us. Thanks
Our pleasure, thank you!
Great to hear a kiwi accent for a change. Love the video! Safe trip, stay safe !!
What a beautiful couple. I’ve just found your page!! Wonderful!!
Hi both love your channel what a great way to sail home wish you all the best
Thanks David!
Well done
Sounds like Murray from FOTC. I'm half expecting him to say "We're trying to chart a course, aren't we Jermaine?"
Beneteau seat cracked on my 461 too. Plus the wheel fell off the binnacle 450 miles offshore in a blow. Plus the main outhaul car exploded.
Watching you two for the first time. Hope your southwest passage remains safe, with fair winds.
love it !!!!! Dreamtime indeed...
Our previous boat was one exactly like yours. Great Boat and nice to see what you are doing. We will be following your steps next March. Fair winds. Ipanema.
Thanks! Always nice to hear from another 361 owner.
Great showing the crossing in one episode. Glad you made it safely.
Haha, lots of editing was required!
Just found your channel subscribed and now chewing my way through your videos. Great stuff congrats on this passage great video cheers from the UK.
Awesome, cheers Darren
Good video guys, was a great watch. Congrats on a good passage.
New sub, congrats on your passage! You must have had your heart stop when you discovered the salt water, glad it was minimal. I’ll need to go back and binge the rest of your videos!
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
Our pleasure!
Cool idea - the electric outboard 👍👍
What great videos! Thank you!
Just subscribed. Awesome video!!
Thanks for the sub!
That was epic and so enjoyed it
Congratulations! Your sharing is very inspiring and your editing is great! I feel like I was there with you (a little bit). I used to live in Curacao, now in Bali. Enjoy the rest of your journey!
Glad we could take you on the journey with us :)
Big hi from oz...Every episode brings a smile😁you guys are awsome.going to be a sad day once baccus gets home
Cheers Jonathon! We're thinking maybe a bit of sailing around NZ to give Bacchus a tour of her new home..? :)
Such a great video, you are both doing well and in good spirits, thanks for sharing
It makes me smile everytime they say Fish (Fussh), love New Zealanders :)
thank you so much... so great and inspiring mood of doing it. you bring something good on the topic :D
Cheers Nicolas
1st time watching and enjoyed the video. Don't know anything about you 2, but just subscribed to see what you do now.
Wahoo guys!!! That was some adventure. Congratulations on such a massive achievement........
Thanks Ross! We're so happy to be here in French Poly!
Another great video thanks
You could wait till better wind conditions
Well done on a great video! And on getting fish aboard too.
Thanks 👍
Loving your adventures. Taking a special interest - lived in Kerikeri and worked at the High School, so knew Imogen and Joanna. Rosie F worked .in our pharmacy - and we bought Druiana when Andrew sold her. And that’s not all - Dani - Kerry Wright is my husbands cousin. I just talked to him and told him how much I’m enjoying your videos - sad he ‘s not up with modern technology ! Safe sailing.
Wow! That is a crazy amount of connections to us! I think Mum also tried to show Grandad an episode or two but he didnt quite get it. Glad you're enjoying our voyage home!
that was the only real trouble with that model the slamming in a head sea , Yous are really doing good - Fair winds (rums good any time )
Cheers!
I'v had myself convinced that I need a full keel, double ended, 30+ comfort ratio, 46' boat to take me across the ocean and here you guys are doing it in a 36', 19.4 comfort ratio, Beneteau, at a fraction of the cost, now I have no idea what I need.
There are certainly lots of different ways to do it!
That was a long leg for you two. The fish looked so tasty. I'm going to cook some tuna steaks tonight in your honor. Maybe I'll have some rum too ;)
We thought there might be a line in the water
XD
Ever consider jibing more in rolling seas, to balance out the boat more?
Just recently found your channel, Good job quite a journey in a Beneteau.
Something did happen when you crossed the equator. Flush the toilet.
that was 50 minutes? felt like 10. More plz
Aww thank you! Another episiode coming as soon as we can find some decent wifi for uploads!
Absolutely love your videos, and this is my first CZcams comment ever. Additionally, just signed up to help support you guys with a monthly patron donation. Keep it up, and live the dream! I hope you both find nothing, but safe travels, great people, and calm relaxing waters. Cheers!
Cheers Clinton! Glad you’re enjoying our episodes, there’s a couple of really good ones coming up (if I do say so myself) 😉 Thank you so much for your support on Patreon! So Awesome!
Tuna is super delicious
First video I’ve seen for you two. Really nice vibe and travelogue! Hope to see you out there some day! Fair winds S/V Prodigal 1😊
Cheers Cliff, where are you guys right now?
Sailing Bacchus Home , I have my sailboat here in Jacksonville, Florida where I live. I’m hoping to head to the Bahamas this late October November. I’m a relatively new Sailor as well with an old 40 foot Hunter as my first boat. I was impressed that you were sailing a Beneteau across the oceans! Many have told me boats like these are production and really only coastal cruisers. You have proved them wrong!

fish and chocolate chips? sign me up
Alejandro yum yum!
Great vid... thanks.
Loved the update.
Thats great
ZERO ZERO° Zero zero'. zero zero".
I really enjoyed your video and a 36 foot sailboat I am also looking at a 36 foot S2 sloop and would to make that passage sail safe
This is the boat I am looking at. Just got laid off and Divorced, seems like a good time to do that around the world dream.
Do it!
Heck yea!
great episode guys , really enjoyed it
Good going guys! Well done! Love your attitude and videos! Keep it going!
Thank you! Will do!
I hope it was Bundy Rum you shared with King Neptune...lol
Impressive, best vid out
Great episode guys ✌️
G'day guys. Gee it's great to hear our accent again. I've just discovered your channel. Watched 5 mins of it and immediately subbed. Then carried on watching. So help me out. I'm going to have to binge watch. How long have you had your channel up and running.? I'm in Murchison for now. It's wet and forecast for more rain. So plenty of free time to catchup. All the best. Take care and stay safe. Cheers.
What's else u can ask for ? Beautiful woman good boat. Fresh fish drinks and far away from people and trafficking .
I guess you proved to all those blue water yacht sailors that you can easily do it in a production boat.
I just found your chanel. Watched this and now back to beginning.
Did u do an episode on finding, buying and upgrading the. Oat to ready it for the voyage? Looks like solar, bimini, new sails were some upgrades.
Will u be out of the pacific before cyclone season?
Hey Michael, we didn't do an episode on finding the boat but we did do an episode recently which was a tour of the boat and showed the upgrades we had done. Here's the link: czcams.com/video/m_n231xtyv8/video.html
Whats your thoughts of the 36 bene for ocean passages and liveaboard? What do you like about it and what dont you like? What would you say are the first upgrades you would do having some experience with it now?
We think she’s great! Check out our episode where we do a full boat tour and show all the upgrades we made czcams.com/video/m_n231xtyv8/video.html
Cool trip. I want to learn how to sail and follow you both around the world.
not bad for what, 3hp ?
Great video, really enjoyed it.
Glad to hear it!
⛵🎣🌊
fun flags lol
sub'd . going back to the beginning to watch! :>
Whoa! I was getting used to you being in the Caribbean and then under Covid lockdown in Curacao and Panama. But now suddenly you are in Nuku Hiva! Where did the time go!? :-)
I know right! Crazy fast, we worked out it has almost been 6 months since we last went diving in Bonaire!
@@sailingbacchushome944 It was fun to follow your adventure but you being so close to home in New Zealand again, I must click the unsubscribe button now. No footage you have of what there is to see between Nuku Hiva and New Zealand is of interest to me. Best wishes to you!
Have you tried headsail only to move the center of effort forward?
Neptune and Poseidon are the same(Greek name Roman name) just sayin :D Great part of your trip though
Do you calculate the currents with navionics? Grtz from Netherlands
RE. raw fish....Man harnessed fire 🔥 now use it !!!
Can you tell us about the current data and wind forecast tools? What they are and how you access them offshore.
We use PredictWind for the weather (which is a paid service), and SailDocs (free) for the ocean current forecasts. SailDocs get the forecast from NOAA, then package it into a small GRIB file suitable for download at sea. We access all this using an Iridium Go satellite connection.
💖💖
Tell us about electricity and fuel usage.
Are you two from New Zealand or England?
Curious about how the Hydrovane performed, Would you choose it again? Was it able to get clear wind with the solar panels?
We can’t imagine sailing without the Hydrovane now, she performs amazingly every time (as long as there is wind) the trickiest point of sail is on a beam reach but she can still handle it. Would highly recommend!
This sucks
Can you say seasick ?
Invest in some ocean fishing gear, hate to see good fish take you for a ride, rather than the other way around. Good Luck
Definitely a learning point for next time!
Would it have been easier to balance the boat if she where a ketch?
12 days at sea and covid is a problem?
do you have fin keel or winged ?
Fin 👍🏼
What was your total days at sea?
31 :)
