The Last Leg - Solo Sailing Dominica to Grenada
Просмотров 3,4 тыс.2 часа назад
In this video we complete our first checkpoint in the circumnavigation by arriving in Grenada. After a number of mechanical issues and getting our butt kicked by hurricane Ernesto, it's time to leave Dominica and brave the 240 mile solo sail to St. George's, Grenada. It'll be 50 hours no sleep, no assistance, a draining task; but the good Lord has blessed us with one of the best weather windows...
Island Boat Repairs - Sailing the Caribbean
Просмотров 4,5 тыс.16 часов назад
In today's episode we are preparing for a 200 mile offshore passage from Portsmouth, Dominica to Grenada. When I fire up the engine I notice a severe diesel leak and our plans change. Trying to find replacements or reliable help while traveling the caribbean can be tough at times, but today we're lucky. Not only do we find a body shop to help us weld the fuel line, but we find the local mechani...
I Braved Hurricane Ernesto. I Regret it.

Solo sailing through the Caribbean in the height of hurricane season definitely wasn't on my bingo card, but we've found ourselves here and must roll with the punches. After a broken windlass and a hectic schedule got the better of me, I stupidly decided to stay on the "comfort" of a mooring ball here in Portsmouth, Dominica to brave the storm, that was a terrible mistake. I should've sailed so...

In today's video we are embarking on a tour aboard the sailing catamaran "Passion" with Whale Whisperer Expeditions. We leave from the dock of Portsmouth, Dominica in search for the native sperm whale population.

Paddle Boarding The Indian River - Exploring Dominica

Our time in Dominica continues to wow me. Today we will be taking our Paddle North paddle board through the Indian River. It flows to the Caribbean Sea between the town of Portsmouth and the village of Glanvillia. The Indian is the widest river in Dominica. Indian River boat rides are one of the most popular tourist attractions of Dominica, but I've arranged to go alone. Some of the scenes of P...
Fresh Tuna $2 a Pound - THIS is Dominica

After a semi emergency sail to Dominica, our visit begins with customs formalities but quickly transitions into a street food review, lessons from true fisherman, and a late night date with an upset stingray. I was immediately in love with Portsmouth, Dominica. The convenience/protection for sailors, the nature, the food, the PEOPLE. This place is unique and special. The following days will sur...
The Redneck Anchor Windlass

In this episode we're attempting to weigh anchor in Basse Terre, Guadeloupe after our windlass motor has broken. A diy anchor windlass is created. Once free we'll continue our journey South towards Portsmouth, Dominica for the safety of a mooring ball, cheap produce, and tuna galore. I can feel the momentum shifting. Thanks for watching y'all!

A Broken Windlass, Stuck in Guadeloupe
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.14 дней назад
Our story picks up on the western coast of Guadeloupe, sailing solo through the lesser Antilles in the height of hurricane season. How the heck did we get here? As we weigh anchor to sail South towards Portsmouth, Dominica, we struggle to lift the anchor home as we're stuck in 50 feet of water, with too much weight on the anchor windlass. I make mistakes and continue trying with the windlass in...

Half Way Productive (The Perfect Balance)
Просмотров 2,3 тыс.14 дней назад
Years ago when I dreamt of sailing around the world, I dreamt of the maintenance to. That may sound weird but I had this ideal day of waking up and polishing the stainless in the sun, then calling it a day early (whenever I wanted) to go fishing and drink a few cold ones. I'm delighted to report that I am in fact living that dream. Our time in Guadeloupe is coming to an end and it's almost time...

Sailing Guadeloupe - A Natural Beauty

As our journey south towards the protected harbors of Grenada continues, we work our way down the western coast of Guadeloupe. Today we are leaving the sailboat securely on anchor to hike through the mountains of Basse Terre and visit a local gem, Parc de la Souce. We'll be swimming in one of Guadeloupe's many waterfalls, or as the French call them, chutes. Thanks for watching everyone! SUPPORT...
Sailing the Caribbean with my Wiener Dog (it's awesome)
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.21 день назад
My best friend is a wiener dog/dachshund named Charlie. He's just about to turn 9, loves treatos, long walks on the beach, and the wind in his hair. lol. Honestly I can say that even with all of the paperwork and extra steps I have to go through to bring Charlie along with me as I sail around the world, I can't imagine not having him here. A good dog is a great companion and he has adjusted so ...
Rainy Boat Day in Guadeloupe (ASMR?)
Просмотров 2,7 тыс.21 день назад
Not super proud of this vlog, but proud of the fact that I got it edited and posted nonetheless. Daily vlogging is pushing me and I'm learning a lot. It continues to storm in Guadeloupe, which has slowed us down a bit, but I'm trying to go with the flow and embrace the slower pace of just living in this new place and enjoying my time alone on the sailboat. I hope you guys get something out of t...

A Day in My Life (alone on my sailboat)
Did you consider going to Trinidad for boat work? I’ve heard that prices have increased in Grenada.
It feels so darn good when you fix a problem doesn’t it? Not just that it’s fixed but that you did it. 🍾
Hey Chase, my wife and I met you at the sailboat show last October. Your windlass might just need some new brushes. In the electric motor. Noticed he cleaned them all up in your last video but after they wear down they don’t make good contact and might work one day and not the next. Anyway it would be a cheap fix.
Get to know what's going on with your fellow cruisers here in Grenada. Join the morning Bay nets Monday-Saturday beginning at 0730 hours on Ch 66 duplex. Don't forget to change your vhf from US mode to International mode now that you've left American waters. Weather, shopping bus schedules, cruiser activities...the works. BTW, customs usually gives the first three months visa free. Mebbe you pissed them off by grabbing those Frankie dawgs at Merry Baker before clearing into the country? ;-) Yachts can clear into or out of Grenada at Port Louis as you did, also Prickly Bay marina. Welcome to Prickly Bay from SILVERHEELS III
That is a fun list! Ohhh and $$$$ list! You're gona make it! I'm confident!
@1:36 "Ya boys gonna get yoked again" @3:32 Ya boy is getting Yoked
It's always something on a boat that needs attention. The price of bliss and frustration! Fair winds and following seas!
Life is all about trials and tribulations brother! You will make it to Grenada. You know what made me come to your channel? Working through all the problems you experienced and no matter what or how low it got you were still happy and optimistic man. That positivity is so freaking addicting dude. You got this and keep trucking on! SWOLE NATION BABY!!!!!
Grace of God, Chase. He got you to Grenada. Fix your stuff, live day to day and enjoy every moment.
Yeap! It never ends señor 😊 BTW "Zatara" is around. Keith is great at fixing stuff. Last time I heard of them they were flying from Miami to Granada. Their boat is in a marina. (They may need some help themselves. The kids have flown the coop.) This couple may be going through some life serious changes. Is just the two of them now. PS Happy to hear that you have a better handle in your food intake and exercise plans. 😊 That is more important than the whole to do list you shared.
You will love Grenada..It's an awesome place..It's one of my favorite places.
Be well. Organize and prioritize your life, and repairs, and remember to enjoy your surroundings.
Comment for algo
You look better and more functional at your current size.. the bigger picture changed your look to no bueno
Ayyy, what up brother 🤙 wishing you the best of luck man
Glad to see you back!!
FISHING!? On the way to Granada.
I'm a Dominican and I like the postive vibes you feel on my country!!
How/where does Charlie go potty while you are underway so long?
I would pass through Grenada and hit Trinidad if you want to get work done. Grenada is expensive, and if you need any trade support, the quality and time it takes is definitely questionable.
Congratulations on your journey, it’s been great to see your adventures!
Motorcycles have a flex line for a reason!
Hey mate, why don't you add some snap shackles to the attachment points in your tender. Would make getting it disconnected easy!
I would love to be on that boat with you and doggy 🐕 so awesome love the videos
8:47 Sweet Charlie. That blanket. Everything.
You should be proud of yourself. Great job
Great crossing!
Hey Chase, keep an eye out for Keith and Renee from Sailing Zatara! They're in Granada as well!

Was getting worried, hadn't seen you in a few days! We really appreciate your daily vlog.
Congratulations! It was great that you passed through; stopping in Dominica....🙏🏾🙏🏾
❤
Can’t imagine the boost Charlie gives you each day out there solo sailing. Stoked you have each other out there on the vast waters. Congrats on sailing the Caribbean, such a huge accomplishment. 👏
When will your girlfriend be able to rejoin you?
I was like dude haven't had my daily coffee and update from Chasing Grace! Glad the dream is still alive and well brother!

Same!! Was worried 🥺😟
Amazing achievement,done with such charm and panache well done.
Been waiting for this one!! So proud of you for getting yourself there! You set a goal for yourself and you did it!! So amazing. As always, good job ❤❤
You need a Onewheel! Lots of walking
So great to be able to enjoy the warm weather and beautiful view when we can't be there. Love the posts dude! ❤
@ChasingGrace21 Chase, I hope your ok brother, Jolly Roger, and I have been missing your videos! I really hope your girlfriend is ok. I heard about the super yatch sinking in Europe and hope that has nothing to do with your daily posts. We miss you and Charley and hope to see or hear from you soon. Guess it's time to give you some real support on Patreon. Miss you, brother, fair winds, and following seas.
My favorite island in the caribbean
Hi-enjoyed the video. We ran out of St Thomas southwest to avoid Ernesto-had to go 325 miles. The run south was good and fast with the strong southwest winds. Coming back was pretty rough-had breaking waves most all day on Wednesday and then all night; very uncomfortable and the boat was getting slammed. We took one breaker over the top of everything; now it's been a week and it's still wet. But coming back to St Thomas we saw many boats on the rocks and sunk. It was pretty bad here-winds up to 75 knots and very steady in the 50's for hours. Lots of damage. We are glad we made the run but it wasn't easy. Hope you can get your repairs done soon, thanks for the video.
Thnxs fr visiting my country,im 26 currently live here i have never traveled in my life bt i so happy to c my country on yt ❤ I dont live on dt side on d island no more it would be nice to have meet you Hope u come back again ❤❤❤❤❤❤ from dominica 🇩🇲
Possibly if you had a longer pennant it would have not have snubbed up so hard when the boat went up with a wave.
When is the next video?
Good things come to those who wait! I’m glad you were able to get both of those things fixed. Safe travels and fair winds
