Ajung la punctul „fără întoarcere” și reflectez asupra eforturilor mele de a gestiona riscul. Este un maraton, nu un sprint. Pot să merg mai repede, dar aleg să nu o fac.

I really enjoy your Videos Patrick. Its been a dream all my life to someday Blue Water Sail solo.
Just you, the Sea and God. ( If One ever wanted to Settle a Score with God , then I can't think of a better place to have it out ). I don't always follow the meaning of your Sailors Lexicon but try keep up . THese are wonderful Videos for someone like myself who has never but someday may set foot on a Sailboat . Thanks
Curious .. if you are French, how is your English so good? Or are you an expat living in France?
I've looked at clouds from both sides now,from near and far,but still somehow……!
Beautiful Atlantic Rollers following you and nudging you along, bringing back great memories of my TransAtlantic. We ripped the mainsail so only had the Genoa anyhow. Thank you…
Nice Joni Mitchell reference far from home.
One of the Baddest Guys on the Planet…Patrick Laine
Again thank you. Quite a wind. No you right…keep it reefed. Why hurry…rush..race. People forget sailing is not about racing a to b. Yes, safety…1st. Why exhaust oneself. You must have had some rest in Spain. Trip toward spain you looked exhausted. Anyway, your weather really sucks. 7 C wow. Brrrrr. It's like sailing in the northsea or baltic. I guess route to azores is not always blue skies.
Anyway I enjoy your commentaries tremendously. Real sailing not like some people music and boobies.
Right, right why rush. I am ALWAYS stunned when people hurry( sailing) from point 1-2 instead of ENJOYING the ride STAYING COMFORTABLE AND NOT STRESS MATERIAL just for a knot faster.
I am just stunned over and over how steady the boat moves. Very few surprise rough rolls. It must be your skill. I just haven't figured it out yet.
The longer you're out on the blue water, the greater the risk of problems. Rule of thumb is make the passage as fast, safely, and direct as possible
You need to get some type of wind-screen for your microphone –
It sure is fun watching the Bavaria roll across those 6 footers ⛵
The worst thing that can happen on a boat is a fire. The second worst thing that can happen on a boat is to fall overboard and watch the boat sail away from you. If you want to go fast, sell the boat and buy an airplane ticket.
Great channel 👍
You Sir are an inspiration to all sailors,
I have 35 years of playing on he sea including 20 years in the British Army
Now listening to you " it's a marathon not a sprint" makes me smile.
I have a 14 year old young buck of a son that pushes the envelope every minute we have our sails up looking for that extra 1/10 of a knot….
We are in lockdown in Southern Spain at the moment desperate to get back out sailing…… He also talked me into buying 2nd hand Spinnaker this week……
So I think me and my old lady of a yacht is going to get a beating over the summer.
However, Sir I will borrow these words if I may
"it's a marathon not a sprint "
For the next time we hit 11 knots surfing down waves in 35kn of tailwind in my 40ft Jeanneau.
Fair Winds to you….
John
loving your videos. I really enjoy the teaching that you're doing under the dodger or the cockpit because I love watching the ocean swells behind you. Love seeing each wave come and go. Keep up the great videos!
99% of disasters or failures situations etc never happen instantly. They are a series of noticeable mistakes that compound each other.
Hahahaha, the screw of terror. Same thing when we find hardware on the helipads– usually not ours, but it's always a fun mystery.
Found your channel a week or so ago. Fantastic running commentary on your voyage, each day's challenges, etc. Great explanations of what/how/why you're doing things the way you do. Loved the Joni Mitchell reference…very subtle, probably missed by most.
If I’m not mistaken, there are satellite phones that supposedly you can use to call anywhere in the world, I guess you could use one of those phones to call someone in order to get the weather forecast??
Hi Patric I,m on that yacht with you through all your vids what a journey hope this virus disappears and We can get back on board to cross the Atlantic love your vids keep them up and stay safe
I appreciate your thoughts and commentary on the subject very much. Only a fool would not give risk management serious thought when in a position where help is unlikely.
Retired Air Force here but we can be friends anyway right?
Hi patrick really enjoying vids
I used to work for Royal fleet auxiliary did that course many times the Azores to Bermuda then on to norfolk virginia little creek
but totally on ship of course
Respect to you doing it single handed

All the best
Found your channel. I enjoy it. Thanks for making it!
Thank you Patrick. Your detail is encouraging.
Hi Patrick, I wasn’t sure which of your videos to tag this to but, following the collision between Boris Herrmann & a fishing boat (with AIS off?), I’d love to know if you have any further comments on risks to solo sailors. Has it affected your own views? Regards, John.
Quoting the great and utterly profound Joni Mitchell. I'm enthralled…
I would love to meet you if you are ever in Utah.
Excellent. Always a worry when you roll inverted and a few nuts and bolts drop into the canopy above your head.
I was out sailing this morning and thought about the Irish chap who's on YT doing a solo, non-stop circumnavigation and his steering went loose. Luckily he was just offshore, and he's a resourceful chap, and managed to sail in and found a missing nut in the steering mechanism. Wouldn't have been much fun in the middle of an ocean.
Personally, I suspect I've managed to survive this long in planes, boats, on motorcycles, and climbing up cliff faces, etc because I have just enough yellow streaked down my back.
I have a feeling that this channel was greatly underrated. The content is pure gold. Thank you, Patrick!
Dear Patrick, fabulous series of videos and really appreciate you sharing. Of interest to me is your sail plan. I completed RYA yacht master coastal last year (2022) and my instructor was of the following school;
Off-shore (single-handed on, say a boat similar to yours): just run with the genoa sail, forget the main. On a long passage it will cost you 1 maybe 2 knots, but you will never need to leave the cockpit. Balance of speed vs risk. I would just welcome your thoughts.
Many thanks and best wishes
Justin
👏👏👏
Love the attitude. I call that "risk-adjusted speed", just as finance folks talk of risk-adjusted return. There is a sweet spot between comfort/security and speed
Loved the moons and Junes and Ferris wheels – absolute gems in that episode -thanks Patrick -sail gently – blue water sailing is a marathon not a sprint.
I fully agree; we also have almost everything double on board 🙂
Your wisdom is of great value to the many many lacking your experience. Thank you for sharing
