sailing alone from Panama to French Polynesia; did I make a mistake? [ep 162]

It’s day one of crossing the Pacific Ocean alone! It’s hard to figure out when to leave for a 4,000 nm sail when you can only see a 10‑day forecast, but I took a leap of faith and am hoping that this weather window will be okay. However, the first night has me doubting if I made the right call. The circumnavigation is just beginning, and all of your help goes toward more gear to make the videos a bit better and the boat safer and more functional for myself as a single hand (and maybe an extra treat for Mako).
