79. Thirty Days Alone in the Pacific — What It’s Really Like
About this episode
The episode explores the realities of solo ocean sailing through a conversation with Tomas Fehrling about his journey across the Pacific.
Today’s episode is a deep dive into what solo ocean sailing actually looks like in practice. In this second conversation with Tomas Fehrling, we pick up where we left off in episode 67 back when he was in Panama, and follow his journey across the Pacific and beyond. We talk about what long passages are really like day to day, how decision-making changes when you’re alone at sea, and why experience often leads not to more action… but to calmer, more measured responses. From 30 days without seeing another boat, to losing contact with the outside world for third of that, to choosing the less-travelled route across oceans — this episode is full of practical insights for anyone thinking about long-distance sailing. This podcast is brought to you with curiosity, kindness and a big sailing dream.
