Great video. Thanks for the honesty. We have the same boat so it’s nice to know what she will handle. Zip Tie Sailing on YouTube.

You guys did an unbelievable job. Knowing how to handle the boat in those conditions takes skill and big balls, something all these keyboard skippers have none of. It's easy to sit behind a desk and criticise, I'd like to see them try.

The sleeping was tough because you needed to get back home quicker. It's too bad you were under a time crunch as you would be able to find a harbor or a protected area, anchored and slept nightly. I have only made 25 sails to date and I go out for maybe 4 miles and I get nervous every time, from Davis Island out in the bay. When I get back on land, I think back and say to myself, I should have been out there longer, or it really wasn't that bad and want to go back out immediately. I take my hat off to you two. Great job and can't wait to see the next adventure in paradise!

Thanks for the follow up! It's always good to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. You both did and now know how far to go before things get uncomfortable.

Fin keel vs full is really not a thing. The 80’s 28ft family coastal cruisers have a short distance between the fin and rudder making them responsive in marinas and short bay sailing trips. But that short distance between rudder and keel makes them especially a wheel a constant workout to drive especially with following sea where the wave action and speed has the boat tripping over its self.

SF to Oahu race Pac Cup falling asleep at the tiller was definitely a thing. Waking up slumped over the tiller with the boat under spinnaker doing a hard U turn in 25+ knots and big swells far larger than what you be guys had was a pretty rude awakening

Good learning experience. I actually didn’t think those conditions were bad on the west coast ie CA thats a normal day. However!! Having sailed the region your in yes those conditions would have seemed abnormally big except when you get out into the current the waves can and do regularly get big.

I would suggest a leash system on your hatch boards. Bay / fair weather sailors don’t usually realize a knock down is pretty common on big water and hatch boards have a well known history of going over board when not leashed

I remember once trying to get back home on the Chesapeake, heading south directly in to the wind. The kids had to be back to school the next day, so we had to go. It was blowing 25 knots (forecasted at 10-15), had way too much sail up, and couldn't reduce for the same reasons you gave. We basically "cheated" the whole way tacking back and forth, while dodging tugs with barges, ships, and just the odd geography of the Chessie in the northern part of the Bay. Should we have gone out in that? Probably not. But we did, survived, and lived to sail another day. Armchair sailors have NO IDEA what it's like to be out in real weather. You mentioned your abs, but one thing that gets me on longer passages is the wind whistling past your ears for hours and hours or in your case "days". It un-nerving to say the least. Good on you guys for "making it".

Great video. Always good to download mentally and debrief. I’ve completely been there a couple times jumping around the Bahamas in an 8700# boat myself. Not fun, scary/exhilarating somehow. Love watching your channel!

Great video and discussion. I am very happy that you were encouraged instead of discouraged, and that, hopefully, you will be continuing to share your experiential learning and growth as sailors. I thought you did a great job with what you had and thank you for sharing with those of us that can only watch and envy!
