Awesome Video Reinhart. We were the other boat at Lorde Howe, we left a few hours earlier then you when the tide was higher so the swell wasn't nearly as bad. We were on a reach bound for New Caledonia and were wondering how you were fairing going into the wind and swell. Clearly you had it worse then we did. Well done on making it in one piece and it was nice meeting you on the island.

Hi guys! Actually I left 24 hours after you, that's why the surge is higher. But you got that same seas at your journey in full blast. Big compliments! On your small boat this really is dedication for sailing. I admire you. Somewhere below there is a comment that asks after you, having seen your boat in Vanuatu. Funny coincidence. All the best for your journey now you have made the tough part.

Great to see a genuine yachtie on youtube. No bikinis, no showing your wife'ss ass to get views, no better help!! My god what a pleasure 😃 Just raw sailing, with real charts hooked up there on your bulkhead, great to see genuine toughness and skill and of course the beautiful sceenery. Once you get to Bundaberg and continue sailing north you'll see some of the true beauty Australia has to offer. Good luck on your journey, was a truly enjoyable watching your video and will now subscribe. Thank you! 🍻

In Australia your 700 dollars is the tip of the iceberg, there’s multiple layers of highly paid government employees in multiple states , duplication, quangos, over regulation , red tape, if a government can think of a way to stifle the economy with a new regulation they will do it with aplomb , and then stack more on that . I’m waiting for a tax on breathing. Three examples, many Australians are being charged to produce solar power, our passports cost twice what other countries charge, toll roads still exist which were meant to be handed back to the community as part of the deal struck to build them. I could go on but need to get back to watching your epic journey .

Quick release shackle on your Selden furler? My yacht has a Selden 300s furler. One day the quick release on the tack let go while I was sailing. Thank fully not the head like yours. Looking up the manual to identify the replacement I found that they have swapped the quick releases for normal shackles in newer versions. The head is a twist shackle and the tack is a d. I swapped both over on mine and it’s been working fine. Also I am Sydney based. Nice to see my home harbour. I don’t live far from where you anchored near the Anzac bridge.

Great video! There is a product call: Stugeron 15mg. It is the offshore sailor's best friend. No seasickness and no side affects. May I suggest that you try and find it in a pharmacy. I think you will be happy that you did. I use it as do many other offshore sailors.

Great video matey. Unlike a previous commentator, I loved the music, keep it up. So typical with the hatch almost in and the flooding wave. Hindsight is a harsh mistress. I don't know how you can stay indoors when getting sea sick. So generous of the bird to leave all that solar panel polish for free.

Good luck. Australia can have very rough seas, so its worth following the best forecast you can get. So stay in port rather than 'toughing it out' at those times. Bass Strait can be "fun" at times, I believe. Talk to Aussies you meet, and compliment real things you notice about their area. They might then tell you what to watch out for. Hope your seasickness isnt terminal. Best wishes.

That’s interesting. The boat you filmed over your shoulder as you were leaving LH island is called Serenity. It is now moored here in my home port, Port Vila, Vanuatu. It appears to be from Poland, it’s identification says Gdańsk. Did you happen to meet them when you were ashore?

Balls Pyramid...spectacular and last refuge of the Lord Howes island stick insect.. rescued from a bush 3/4 the way up. Also the site of the last Flyingboat service ..till they built a runway on LH islands. Never cross a reef or a bar with your cockpit hatch open a couple of bad waves and your can be tured into a submarine in a minute. At very least you could short out your electrics and soak everything.

I have to say, I did not understand why you would go out after such a gale passing through and the forecast being so pessimistic, with strong winds against you? Why didn't you hang around for two more days?
@SailingAloneAcrossTheOcean
Ай бұрын
Good question. The weather forecast predicted no wind at all five days later in the north. Going later would have sailed me in the middle of this for days. An other reason was that I had strong wund before and it wasn't bad. But there it came from the back as tradewinds. So yes, I underestimated the power of frontal waves and wind.

Just imagine those first sailors that discovered Australia & Lord Howe Island, being months at sea, not knowing what lies ahead. One thing for sure, not know if humans exist in that part of the world, the you see the first Aboriginal. it’s only been around 250 years. When you see Australia & what’s been raped in regard to precious metals, coal, gas in so little time, just imagine another 250 years. Australia will be a hole. The flooded island of Australia, one writer wrote, predicting Australia will crumble and certain parts will make new smaller islands.

I have read quite a lot about James Cook, Mathew Flinders and others. And wondered quite often how they saw things. And how they were able to navigate. How Australia will proceed I don't know. Seeing these huge and still magnificent landscapes in Tasmania, or the small beautiful reef wilderness still leaves hope that some things are fine so far and may be in future times.
