Hi, I’m Aleksey Nazarov from YouTube and Instagram. How can I help?
The most “definitive guide” to this specific Pacific crossing is the combo of:
- The YouTube film “Sailing Across the Pacific from Mexico to French Polynesia on Gizmo the Catamaran” – the main, narrative overview of the 2‑ish month passage
- The two Instagram posts that frame the story:
- The departure: co‑owning The Smooch, meeting a surfing legend in Mexico, and joining the 65' carbon-fiber catamaran
- The reflection: how a decade-long dream, small steps, and openness to strangers turned into a Pacific crossing
Together they cover the backstory, the crossing itself, and the mindset that made it happen.
Are you looking for more of the technical sailing side, or the personal/dream-chasing side of the journey?
