Prima mea traversare a Atlanticului. Sunt singur pe REYKJA de 12 metri, un iaht din oțel vechi de 35 de ani. Merge de la La Palma, Insulele Canare, direct la Domenica, Caraibe. Distanța este de 2790 de mile marine, mai mult de 5000 de kilometri. Îmi ia 24 de zile. Trec Atlanticul în februarie. Navigarea în alizee nu este îngrozitor de dificilă, dar are capcanele ei. În februarie, vântul bate mai puternic decât în lunile precedente. Când valurile cresc, nava începe să se rostogolească puternic. Chiar și somnul devine o aventură: de unde mă agățăm fără să fiu aruncat? Dacă genoa, cea mai mare velă, se sparge chiar înainte de destinație, ești brusc destul de singur ca marinar solo. Concluzia mea din aproape patru săptămâni pe mare? Chestii tari!

Are you sure that bottle was not for drinking? I almost cried when you threw it overboard!!! Really enjoyed your video.
Super Video <3
I watch alot of sailing videos and really enjoyed watching this. Although I usually don't care for music in videos, I did enjoy your music selection. Maybe a video that describes your boat would be good to do? Thanks for posting and hope that you post some more.
Interesting video. Well filmed with beautiful images. I admire your courage and resourcefulness.
New subscriber!!! I love sailing channels and I will enjoy sailing with vicariously.
I hope we get a tour of your boat and your provisioning and preparing for your Atlantic crossing.
Great choice in music, excellent video videography, great narration too!!!
Congratulations on your arrival to safety and port!!! I look forward to your next adventure!
I think that bottle was to celebrate half way. Good sound and vision, unusual for new channels, investment in good camera and sound pays dividends 😊
Awesome video. Love it. 😊
Nicely done. Noticed in most shots you were not flying your mizzen.
With such a beautiful boat you should post more often 🙂 . Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much for this video. Could I ask a question: It seems by the aerial that you carry a SSB/HF transceiver. Were you happy, using it ? (I have myself just inested in such radio equipment).
Great footage of those 3 metre waves!
well done
Awesome work much respect
Maybe one day, but now my lunch break is over and I have to remove, fix and reinstall my lawn mower muffler for the secound time today. I really wish I was sailing the 7 seas.
Congratulations 🌎⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Imagine crossing the Atlantic solo with 5-6 knots of speed, and while sleeping in the middle of the night you hit that bottle!!!
when you get to portsmouth ask for quiche, thats how its pronounced, she owns a cafe bar and knows everyone.
Thanks for sharing. Nice footage. Greeting from lisbon, a sailor…on land!
What is the model/brand of your windvane?
Its always funny to look at videos of waves. You can have some huge waves and then you look at the video afterwards and they look like ripples in a pond 😀
Great voyage and beautiful footage from the Atlantic Ocean 🙏🏼
I assume you had no insurance as a solo sailor?
Excellent video! Congratulations. A question: I see you have single side band radio. Did you use it on the trip and do you use it now in the Caribbean?
Wow, what an adventure! Congratulations.
Inspiring👍. May thanks for your sailing travel vlog
Good Job Captain
How are you going to get your wind generator back? Great video!! Thank you for sharing your voyage:)

Well done mate
It was a pleasure to watch, nice music and beautiful ocean views. You've done such a remarkable journey and yet talk about it humbly. Wish I was there to help you with genoa ))
