Thank you for posting this. Question, how long did the main voyage from SF -> Hawaii ? or Cook islands take. IE - how long were you "stuck" on the blue ocean for the main part of the trip. I am sure once you got to the small islands it was much easier to get around. But I am curious about the main voyage.
Sailing that kind of distance isn't an easy trip and you must have some stories to tell / advice for us dreamers..
the wind is my horse the ocean my trail I'm off to Hawaii the deep if I fail. I left my ketch on and under the jetty of Nawilliwilli harbor Kauai. there are no stories worth telling about safe "smart " people LIVE IT
wow, 8 months..... i did not think it took that long.. i am planning to own a Catalina style sailboat and sail from san diego CA to Manila Philippines. It's a 3 month trip if i only stop once to resupply.
Bravo to living your dream which was also mine. I had a Nicholson 32 long keel but due to wifes change of mind never came true, however after an expensive divorce I now live in the sun & deliver yachts here in the Med.
The Contessa 32 MUST be owned by Norwegians with a name like Akvavit the Norwegian spirit, I know this as my new wife is Norwegian from Drobak. Wishing you safe sailing, enjoy your dream
Love your Video. I live in Tennessee, this has always been my dream. How did you get the time to travel there and back? How lond did you stay in NZ? What kind of boat do you have?
Great choice of music. Wonderful shot of the Whale... Amazing!
