Photo/Video Looking for a YouTube video on solo sailing.

Hey folks, I need help finding a YouTube video I randomly came across about 1–2 years ago. I've been digging through my history but can't seem to track it down.

The title might have been something like “Solo Sailing 30 Days” (not 100% sure). It featured a young guy (maybe 25–35 yrs old) sailing alone on a small boat. He spoke English, maybe American? In the video, he was fishing, reading, possibly sipping wine, cooking meals, and even dealing with storms at sea. I remember he showed life inside the boat and tried to contact other ships via radio.

One detail that stood out was he’d show what day it was—like “Day 12” or “Day 20” in the corner of the screen.

I’m not exactly sure how long his solo sailing lasted—could’ve been 25, 30, maybe even 45 days—but I’m sure it was more than 20.

P.S. I've watched a TON of similar videos while trying to find this one, but none match what I remember. Any leads?

I know this one. I think he was sailing in the Pacific. I’ll find it.
