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

Video Description

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.
