S Pacific Passage Videos

[Livia]

I want to collect a list of videos, posted on youtube, that are logs of the passage between the Americas (Mexico, Panama, wherever) to the South Pacific (most likely French Polynesia, but from the Americas to anywhere in the S Pacific - note that Hawaii isn't S of the equator).

If you want to contribute any favorites, please post links here. I'm collecting them to make a list on youtube on the subject and I will be posting the list on our blog.

I'll be including ours of course:

Agreed. Looking forward to seeing this one! We are in Tahiti right now and our internet is so-so but I'll try.

I have collected 5 passage diaries so far (including ours). I'm trying to limit to the S Pacific and to films that put together clips from throught the passage. The playlist (so far) is here:

It is (Why Estrellita 5.10b? ~ SV Estrellita 5.10b) and someone recently rapped off the end of their rope on it
