All the wind power available you spent a lot of time utilizing engine power to get to Hawaii. Motors are electrically powered, engines are internal combustion powered.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Wow! Free Spirit you did it!! Dale, Congratulations on this incredible journey. I can remember you telling me years back this was a goal of yours when you retired and to see you a accomplish this is just Amazing and so inspiring! I can't believe it! Hurray! Haha!!!

do you look forward to the return trip?

how many miles on just head sail?

was the back stay wire old? was it checked befor youleft? is there away to make stays redundant like doubleing up on wire just for a major crossing?

Wow, God smiled on you

a fitting final voyage for Free Spirit who performed admirably. as did you sir. a fantastic document to your seamanship, spirit, adventure and humility. thanks for sharing. can i ask, are you missing being out on the waves or have you taken up another hobby?

I would pay all my life savings to go on a trip like this ……………….you are a brave man Sir and I believe that the nature loves you and the sea loves your company …..❤

Great story - we need more adventurous and independent men like this gentleman!

I got emotional watching watching free spirit pull into the slip. I turned 30 june this year and have just found a huge intetest in sailing..

how do you manage at night ? do you trust the auto pilot? how do you know you have no veered way off course?

🤔

Amazing adventure!

Great Little boat, tracks well,,I had one sim, Farrier 680, for Inland hopping.Hope you have somthing to drag to slow that baby down in steep seas? Nice sail..

Been watching a lot of sailing videos lately, not that I'm a sailor, I would never have the guts to do that but just to see the adventurous side of others and out of all the videos I've watched the past week yours was the one that I enjoyed the most. No fancy editing, just a man and his beloved boat sailing the open ocean, what a beautiful story. Congratulations on a huge accomplishment and I hope the rest of your life is just as exciting. thanks for sharing your story with the world.

Wowww amazing trip. When you sleep at night, who controls the boat ?

Wow, that's fast. Why can't monohulls go that fast?

Finally a sailor who's not filming himself most of the time. Great video sir!

Someone got an amazing little sailboat! This was a great watch.

Kinda a Bummer, You Lost Your Main Sail. I Bet You Would Have Made Great Time. Great Video...!!!

It’s crazy how complicated we have made Sailing nowadays just goes to show you what you can do with minimal equipment

what the fuck is a furling genny/jenny

You made that look easy even with your back stay issue.

Emotional arrival!

Amazing does not cover it, well done man ✊🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Most epic crossing video that I have ever seen 💯🙏😎

if you do a trip likes this again, i'd change the standing rigging and running to play it safe.

what boat is that?

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing journey with us....
From beginning to end i found it thoughtful, and sincere.

HARD ROCK & ICE
( Climbing*Why risk the Adventure )

Twilight dawns upon your face, internal reaction draws deep amid the human race,

Every line and crack perhaps a welcome hold, every step and move perhaps the one to bold,

Mind and body absorbed unto you,
spirits ascend, as fibers woven through,

The independence we seek, brings us,
cheek to cheek,

Knowing the summit can never be won, merely gained, thence never undone..... 👣🕊👽

wow what an awesome adventure, thank you for taking us along!

Hi there, I was just wondering what the song is that you played almost the whole video? I really like instrumentals like it. By the way I’m glad you made it safe and sound.

I’m not familiar with trimarans but why didn’t you use a main sail ? Just learning. Thank you and nice trip sir !

without words!
Many thanks for this video!

A sailor.

I subscribed. Dude, this is the dream right here. I just hope I can get old enough to be able to build and sail my own boat. Mad props my friend!
