I love seeing people sailing a simple yacht solo and and enjoying life, exploring places and just living large. Too many people dream of owning a yacht and the reality they can if they just take action. Love your work. Your knee is a good reason I keep hoarding anitbiotics onboard.
Thanks man. It truly can be a very simple and affordable undertaking if you are willing to suffer a little. 😁. This bacteria took three ifferent types of antibiotics without success! Better to just keep a super strong immune system at all times!
finaly someone who sails their sailboat
It's not even mine. haha.
You are one helluva brave sailor and have a great outlook on life. Fearless. Thanks for your videos.
Thanks Ray. I still have a little fear I just try not to make choices based in it.
You are as an authentic person as it gets. I am a Californian surfer, and have been in love with being in the ocean and going into the wild. Thanks for the nice vids. I love your content brother.
Thank you. I think that speaks more to my comfort in front of the camera than it does myself but I will take it with pride. :). Happy waves. Big love to you!
You got the scurvy!!!
Yargggghhhhhh
This is amazing!
Great film making. Really enjoyable.
I could watch these videos all day long, cheers!
Thanks!
I know I'm late but I did not know this was a thing. I want to sail now. I would really like to do that in my life.
Just found your channel man. This life of adventure you are living is my dream. I'll definitely have to go back and watch the whole series!
Enjoy mate. Welcome aboard!
Dude you rock!! Love it all really nice for you to share your Journey.....the girls singing with mandolin are really good beautiful song
Thanks dude. Big respect to you and the girls!
Man I love your videos! hard core sailing! and solo! Be safe!
Cheers and thanks!
Great videos. I spent 4 summers on Kwajalein, Marshall Islands in the early 80's. The memories are flooding back into my consciousness after watching your videos.
Very cool! Cheers!
My son (7) and I have been following your journey since you left San Francisco. Wow dude. We are from Kingston Ontario and what you are doing is something I have always dreamed of. You’re doing great. My goal currently is to get a sailboat similar to the dolce. Love the videos dude. Really
Really love them
Thanks Patrick, You might already know that Dolce was built in Whitby and there are plenty of them floating or rotting on land around the great lakes to be found for a bargain. Go get er and happy sailing! Cheers!
You have a lot of heart my friend. I like ur videos a lot
Thank you very much!
Kosrae is magical. I was stuck there once and was not eager to get off the sleeping lady. Glad you saw the ruins. Pohnpei's are even more amazing. The Rock Islands in Palau are breathtaking!!
Really enjoying your voyage. Keep the faith.
Cheers!
very important to have different antibiotics on board as well as vitamins, to avoid such situations, you can do the research or ask a doctor which ones are good for general infection etc.. fair winds
Nice sailing ⛵️
Very cool. You are right, a tsunami is nothing to worry about when in the middle of the ocean. However, unlike your image of something slow moving, the wave travels at the speed of an airplane (approx). Thanks for sharing your experience!
I read that it all depends on the depth of the ocean. they slow down to 20 to 30 KPH in shallow water. cheers!
Another nice vid clip, my friend, yeah thanks, so yeah Majuro is the capital city of the Marshall Islands, so this clip is the 2nd one I watched, very nice thanks again, happy sailing !
Thanks and happy sailing to you too!
Saw the first solo video. This one is much better. Lots more included in what i expect...working the sails to get the full potential of the winds...captains log...distance travelled. Wind direction, communicating with weather man. Charts displayed on PC and navigation apps...winds and current directions....really enjoyed this video
Thanks. Its not easy sailing and filming all by yourself...
Just found ur channel great videos very excited to watch the journey
Cheers!
Such an underrated channel
Thanks Christian. Please feel free to help promote. I have no time for it.
Subbed and liked. The lines of your boat are breathtaking. What a beauty.
Me too
@@Mark_Lacey Not his boat.
Great vid. Bravo Zulu. Fair winds, brother.
Fair winds to you mate!
Here, Brazil. Nice and beaultiful vídeo.
Obrigado.
Very cool video series, guv. A real joy to watch. *And I couldn’t help but notice, you’ve created a hidden spot on the internet where are all the comments/commenters are nice and/or helpful [knocks on wood]-must mean you’re doing something right * keep it up & stay safe out there
Thanks man. The vast majority are certainly respectful but I have removed a few mean and disrespectful ones.
awesome videos bud!
Thank you!
Excellent movie mate! Good editing and narrative. Nice meeting you at Ganga river. 🙏🏽
Thanks! You too!
The infection must be taken serious. In the tropics ESPECIALLY you can get sepsis. Hope you are well. Love your fish stories. Change this 'i am not going to lose a limb to ' my limbs are healing and healthy. No negatives in such affirmations.
By the way love your commentaries.
my dude has a straight up hole in his knee
Awesome adventures bro. Soon I'll be out there. Hawaii to the Philippines
Nice bro. Happy sailing.
nice one!
Thank you! Cheers!
Really beautiful videography dude! In my dreams I do the same trip but load the boat with antibiotics until water pours in over the gunwales. Greetings from Yonge St, Toronto
haha! not a horrible idea, but better to just have your immune system in tip top shape. Antibiotics are good in an emergency but best to be avoided. Thanks and Cheers! Yonge st. must be super peaceful these days.
You favor Max Van Sydow. Great job on yer cruising skills! Enjoy yer quirky, self assured manner!
Thanks! I don't know Max Van Sydow....
Just subscribed from our sailing channel, I had already subscribed from my music channel some time ago. Quick story, in Tibet, people would go the fish market where vendors would sell live fish, and take the fish back to the river or lake and release them as to improve their karma. Looking into another creatures eyes and seeing it's life force, then realizing we don't have the right to take it's life is a big step on the road to enlightenment. Good on ya Markus! Love your trip dude, both your literal trip, and the one you're on for the Planet! Thanks! Peace
Awesome! Thanks Sun Love. Any chance you're up for sharing some music for my videso? I'm always in search of new tunes! Happy sailing! Peace
Looks very consistent with MRSA, boost your probiotic intake to the max immediately, especially if you were taking non-MRSA special antibiotics, as they just decrease competition for MRSA strains. Sterilize / disinfect all your clothing, sleeping material, seats, toilet etc.
Anzu Wyliei MRSA is a antibiotic resistance strain of staphylococcus. Basically it’s a staph infection you need special antibiotics to treat.
100% Tea Tree Oil an essential first aid requirement for the hold. Outperforms everything for infections, cuts, burns (pretty much).
i used to live on Hawaii it was the most awesome place ever but i recently had to move back to Georgia i would recommend it fully.
Really ???? lt's a lonely place should i go ??
Right, everyone: pure unpasteurized honey or aloe Vera for injuries. If nothing else, good luck. Great vid, thanks for local
Propolis for the win!
this is wild. I checked out your Hawaii to marshall islands video. I would love to do this kinda stuff looks amazing.
You should!
Love, most, of the video, but hey that´s life on a sor but. Fair winds buddy. Cheers C from Denmark
Haha cheers!
Cuts on boats are tough. You need to keep them completely dry to let them heal except you're on a boat.
I think a healthy immune system is key. I think mine was suffering due to a mould infestation...:)
subbed and ,iked thank you for the super rad video
Thank you. I look forward to seeing your project some day also.
I didn’t know that you are left handed, me too, kindred spirit!
Damn, fuckin sux to get an infection. I don't have to tell you what COULD happen. Really enjoying your videos. Everyone SAYS they want to do it. Big difference in actuality doing it.
Cheers Paul! I'm all good now.
Just found this channel good video I sub and liked
Thanks Lee.
New sub😊. Super relaxing content. I live in Downtown Chicago but I wish I wasn’t sometimes. This helps Thanks
Thanks for the sub! Sending peaceful vibes your way.
30:06 - Now that's how you sail a boat!
How lucky you are to be out on the ocean waves. a lot of yachts are in lockdown at the moment
I'm not out there anymore.
You should have stop by Phonpei, lived there for a year and a half. Great place!! They also have ruins.
I wanted to, mostly for the surf, but I was tight on time to meet a special someone in Palau....
Hi bro hope you are reading this in good health. Not that you probably don't already know this but make sure you aren't wearing any clothing that may not have been cleaned well enough to kill any infection that may be left behind from before your first round of antibiotics, also your blankets could be suspect too. Stay safe and positive vibes to you on your travels. mate.
Thanks Edward! I'm sure that bacteria was living all over the boat but the real issue was likely my weakened immune system from living in a moldy room in the Marshall Islands....Cheers!

Dude that sore is staph infection, if not treated properly you can catch golden staph which is resistant to antibiotics, I went through it with a year in and out of hospital, best to get it sorted asap
Best wabto Live, better than a mansion or house even an RV
Waaaaay better than an RV.
@@Routesofchange tsunami risk? I'm used to seeing disaster hits trailer parks, stuff out west, even some tornados gets a few houses/tracks regionally, just so far away and on the ocean then, maybe safer can't tell by waves in vid here.. monkey book ref?
I just envy you!
In my personal, and extensive experience, once the antibiotics are finished saltwater is a fantastic healer of wounds. Watching you deal with it kills me knowing the solution is underneath you.
Yeah... I was under the impression it was a marine bacteria so that is why I was staying out of the water. Might have worked....
@@Routesofchange Well, that's a good point.
Cool vid mate,all the best from NZ✌️❤️🇦🇺
Thanks Mate! All the best to you!
Epic sail! Love the camera work.
Nasty infections those tropical infections, we call them “infections of the poor and hungry, “do you think something was missing in your diet or you were just run down with the trip. I’m a RN so was just thinking.
Thanks. In addition to the tough life on board I think my immune system was compromised due to a few weeks stay in a moldy room in the Marshall Islands. Diet is also a possibility but I'm usually smart about that.
just rewatching this video after like 1 year and I see you still have only 19k subscribers? how the heck is that possible? :/
Maybe because I'm not strictly a sailing channel and and and.....thanks for watching again!
THIS IS PURE SALT MY FRIEND
So nice to see groups of people on the island and no one wearing muzzles!
This was pre covid.
@@Routesofchange He mentions having to raise a yellow flag to indicate he hasn't been screened for COVID. The pandemic was already in motion at the time of this post.
You raise a yellow flag whenever you arrive in a port before going through immigration. He is me. This was way before COVID...
@@Routesofchange So they're wearing muzzles now too? That's sad.
Your immune system decided a peg leg was too cliche.
arrrrrghhh I wasn't yet ready fer it
😂😂😂👍🏻
I'm late obviously but that looks like staph infection which is highly contagious and you get it from not bathing or popping bumps and so forth it just decides when it wants to pop up . it's very painful if you do not wash your hands after touching that it can spread very easy I had it once and they had to surgically cut a piece of my butt cheek out 2" deep to get the dead tissue out
"I used to be an adventurer like you, then i took an arrow in the knee."
It's healing from the inside out. You're good. Cellulitis. Eat ost of fruit and veggies.
MORE OF JULIE !!
Love the channel. Great scenery, living life through you. Oh to be young and carefree. Should have speared the whale - you could have ate for weeks - KIDDING
haha, or it would have sunk my boat...
Ur story 24:00 is awesome synchronicity
the Dragon King!!!
I’m no Dr. but I’d say you had yourself a fairly serious staph infection. Consider adding disinfectant to your kit. It’s spread easy.
I'll be sure to be on passage for the 12 days of xmas 😂 freakin missionaries
Just wondering if I develop specific medical course for sailors if it will have market. I am trauma surgeon and love sailing and did some sailing as young man.
The course will consist practical emergencies as well as how to deal with minor injuries.
You got cellulitis and you need combinations of two antibiotics.
I believe you would. I would spend $20-25 on a book that has everything you need to know, including first aid, you can fill up tons of pages for basic first aid, etc etc, then go into specifics like Vitamin C for Scurvy, etc etc, remedies for seasickness...
Do it!
Be very careful with the knife ,losing a finger could be a bit sore etc .keep on trucking!
seeing how you just handled that machete does not surprise me that you have as many cuts as you do
I guess you've figured out those are probably small staph infections you picked up along the way. Great video Maybe you could get a prescription for a broad spectrum antibiotic next time.
You just pass by my island 🏝️ on ur way to 🇵🇼 Palau my island more closes to Palau
You have a lingering infection.
The infection lives in your nose.
Get Mopirocin ointment USP, 2%
APPLY in nose with qtip twice a day for about a month.
I'll be surprised if your lady freind doesn't get a boil or two.
Good luck!
Just found your channel, subscribed😊
Great journey ! Would you mind telling me what is the audio track at the very beginning of this in your intro ? I couldn't find it in your music links. Want to use it in my private drone footage. Many thanks
It's by Ash Ainsworth as the link in description says. it's not a public track but you can ask him..link in the description thanks
Wish i could leave a like!
you can't?
Routes of Change I think you accidentally turned off likes/dislikes on this one ☝🏾
😎😎😎
U almost had a pirate leg !!
Yeah could've worked well....
Being a Micronesian myself, if a hospital or clinic is not within a day's reach, locals would use the Hibiscus flower. It can be crushed up and applied on top of that infection. What it will do is force it to rupture so you can get out all the infection, then you would spend a lot of time diving in the ocean getting salt water into that wound or applying hot coconut oil into it (again only if a hospital or clinic was too far to travel to). I'm curious, did any of the locals in Kosrae or Palau offer a local remedy? Also, out of curiosity, how did you bang up your leg?
Thanks for the tips. In Kosrae I was not offered any local remedies but on Lekenioch Atoll I was. A local healer gave me an herbal mixture of some sort mixed with coconut oil. It all began when I scraped my knee on the boat. I think my immune system was weakened from sleeping in a room with black mould... Cheers!
I got similar leg from an unseen bite on my foot. in my 50s. only time I ever had an infection like that. Lotta puss. keep on your feet. Otherwise just keep festering. Work is good.
I think it was caused by a moldy room, the wrong antibiotics, and antifouling paint....
Staph infections are caused by staphylococcus bacteria, types of germs commonly found on the skin. That could need some serious hospital intervention there quite urgently
I would have kept heat on it. Warm compresses, as hot salty water as you could tolerate. I would treat it like a boil.
That was it, no video of Marshall Islands?

Long live the Dragon King!

How do you manage to produce enough electricity for the navigation system ? Is it only with your Solar panel? How Manu gallons do you have un your water tank ? Do you have a desalinisator ? Awsome trip well done !
The two panels combined of 240 watts provide way more electricity than I needed. No autopilot. Manual windvane and no desalination. Small watertank and extra jugs. I carried about 45 gallons if I remember correctly. Twice as much as I thought I would need for the passage. Cheers and thanks!
I'd jump in all that ocean for 30 minutes to avoid an infection
I was thinking the same. Wondering if the salty sea water would clear it out. I always found it incredibly healing.. but not entirely sure if it would have been able to tackle such an infection. Maybe someone on here can shine some light on the topic!
When it's a marine bacteria it does not help to jump in the ocean. I am usually in the same boat as you but not in this case.
Mate get yourself to a doctor ASAP, Sepsis.....Septic Shock almost cost me my life.
I really wanna do this. Or some type of around the world sail in the next 3-4 years. How long and where did you learn to sail before you went off by yourself?
I learned the basics when I was young. Never learned how to sail properly, started in earnest when we left SF. I did however have loads of experience on the Ocean in rowboats and on surfboards... Doooo it!!!
how did you determine the course that you did? It is very unusual from all the circumnavigations I have seen / read. I was really entranced with your destinations.
The wind and the fact that I needed to get the boat to her owner in Hong Kong determined the course. Cheers!
Wait, this was uploaded today? I feel like I already watched this one days ago for some reason.
Reupload?
I just combined all of the separate vlogs into one complete passage. CZcams seems to like to recommend longer videos...cheers!
Can you speak a little bit about sea sickness? I'd love to sail but I can imagine I would get incredibly sick and destitute with days at sea. I know this is something the body never adapts to....thoughts? P.S. Love the videos. You're incredibly brave.
The body does adapt to it. Sometimes it takes longer for others but it will adapt. cheers
It's the land sickness that gets me.
I think you mentioned that early, but what model of the sailboat is that?
1968 Alberg 30
Hi buddy. Awesome as usual. Keep on it. Seems you born to do this. Can you please share the artist music on background? Slow guitar ty
Thanks Manny, Check description for the music. cheers
Thank you. Where you at these days ? What is your next adventure may I ask ?
The vlog continues. Follow the episode numbers. :)
Love your adventure but learn a better technique when hacking a coconut or you'll need more than peroxide to address your wound. Ask me how I know...
How do you know?
Yeah please describe in detail!
Yeah, that's a knife, and that's a knife wound... Why risk it, just for a funny video clip. Now that's a scalpel, and that's an abscess, that's an amputation for x,y,z... can't help but notice hallucination(s) mentioned and also didn't see the massive birds and fish, other thing dolphins, whale, etc could see. Mental health is a curiosity when solo👯♀️ but cute lady very real, afaict. Sun exposure, infection, maybe a life vest & harness for going fore and aft, to prevent boat sails away from overboard solo sailor, news at 11... Rather chill otherwise, not sure I could do ocean know I don't have ear (s) for snorkeling/ much swimming. And without a motor coming in, heave to, etc ... Tropical med books in addition to save a fish, be saved by nature Buddhist? Philosophy/religion... Not much vegan options? Could you grow fruit & veg on deck? Fresh water needs, etc?
Use the blunt edge to crack it dude.
My question is how did you go so long with out working ?
I need VISA to enter in this island sailing?
can the knee infection stem from a weakened imune system caused by a weak case of scurvy and a minor scratch as primer?
Not scurvy. I suspect weakened immune system from staying in a mouldy room and boat.
@@Routesofchange for future reference, spray mold with vinegar - kills it and spores - spraying bleach is less of an realistic option but also a possibility
