Just found your channel! Great stuff! I think the halmatic/barbican 30 are such a great solo boats! Is there anything you think the fall short of? I think it is just the perfect size for a solo to manage everything alone. Cheers!

Hello Mark. Gary on Katy here. I just got back from Antigua a couple of days ago. Our voyages shared such similarities as we left the same day. Do we go as far as 12 south? Do we put the engine on? Bloody weed everywhere!!! I got in to St Lucia on 21st so Cant wait for part 3 to see your arrival. Well done and a shame we didn’t meet again in Caribbean.

Very nice job. You are now in a fairly small club as a single handed sailor with an informed opinion. Every voyage I learn something new. Also have the same vexing challenge with sargasso on the servo blade of my Cape Horn windvane—so you are not alone. Cleared it with boat hook same as you. Also very fatigued waking up all night to clear it after rounding up/gybing. The only solution I can see is auto pilot steering through main rudder at those times. Not an option for me—too much power required. Increasing sargasso since 2010. Different theories for why. Luckily seems to be limited to mostly Cape Verde through Caribbean to Central America. Seems other oceans not as affected.

Have fun this winter!

Heading down to Cabo Verde from Tenerife in the morning. Fishing has been very good so far but want me some.mahi mahi instead of tuna for a change. :) Looking forward to turning and burning westward in about 10 days. Take care mate.

what a fantastic & beautiful atlantic passage you had, thanks for sharing your experience with us land lubbers, i'd love to do this even tho the sea can be very unforgiving at times..to finally cross the ocean and be surrounded by lush green islands with exotic plants & flowers whilst humming birds buzzing about..Its a totally different world . Enjoy this very special occasion in your Life .

Just found your channel and subscribed . it’s great to see a smaller boat doing this passage I’ve wondered about doing it in my 27ft Albin Vega that used to have rolling boom reefing like yours but it’s now slab .

It’s good to see you talking about how long it is alone I honestly think that’s the biggest thing about this crossing. I also wonder if it’s something that for me would be better with my other half or something best done alone? Would his trip be too much for a couple on a small boat? Does the size of the boat make much difference ?
I think not probably . But my other concern on a small boat doing this passage with two people would be the capacity to carry enough water and food for two of us.

Now you’ve done it what do think?
