You two make me chuckle. Little bear, no big bear😂 Your chemistry and passion are the life blood in a Vlogs soul. Top shelf videography once again. Stay salty, and thanks for sharing your adventures.
I've raced the Fastnet three times and appreciate your recording the '79 Gale. Love the views of Ireland's rugged coastline, truly beautiful. The food preparation was exquisite, I remember peanut butter and jelly on our crossings. Thanks again for sharing and are praying for a safe passage with ideal weather.
It’s so refreshing seeing a channel that’s sailing in waters that is less travelled. And wow what a coastline with quaint little towns. Ireland tourism really should be giving you a cut.
We wish there were more cruisers here to buddy boat with for sure! And yep that west coast is super pretty. We were always told it was so very happy we finally made it a little further west having spent so much time in Ireland!
First comment, I have been following for a long time. Great videos, especially of Ireland, well done. Jumped on to give a shout out to Port Credit, where I grew up and sailed a little out of the original Port Credit Yacht Club in High School. Also paddled and skated on the Credit River. Now living on the shores of Lake Huron, south of Kincardine. Congratulations on the success with your channel. Keep up the good work. David
Ah wow that’s awesome! We always love to hear from someone who is from our home port. We really enjoyed our time there. Lake Huron is also so beautiful. Thank you😊
Leo's channel is about restoring Tally Ho!, which won the Fastnet race on handicap many years ago. He's hoping to enter Tally Ho! when the restoration is complete. Great video you two, as always.
Thank you for another very entertaining and informative video. I am looking forward to your trip to the Med. BTW, your logo on the paddle board looks awesome...well done!
PS. If you are in the UK, every Chemists Shop pretty much, has the Best anti Seasick tablets you can get - STUGERON - Do Not follow the dosage instructions though, take half a Stugeron tablet about 30nminutes before going aboard, and if on a long Sail, half a tablet with breakfast every morning for 3 days, if conditions are rough, a 4th day to make sure you have your Sea Legs. Each of the three First Aid Kits I have inboard, has a packet of Stugeron in it. 2 tablets, the recommended dose, means 12 hours of Zzzzzs fast asleep,mok if really ill though. Bob in Wales. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️
@@SailingJibsea A half a Stugeron before setting Off, and if a long distance Sail, a half tablet every morning for 3 or 4 Days works, and no Drowsiness. I have given the recommended dose to a Boat Seller and Boat Buyer I was along to help out for a day long introductory Sail, after they declined to take a half Stugeron, while at Anchor a few hundred yards Offshore with a long pulling swell, I went below to make an English Breakfast plus Toast and Marmalade, the seller was giving a full what was what on the Boat, and then were chatting in the Cockpit, then it went very very quiet. Breakfast ready, I popped up into the Cockpit, and the pair of them were Battle Green. Ugh, been there, and luckily I still had the Stugeron in my jacket, and got them to have 2 tablets, under their Tongues, to get it into their bloodstream fast, and watched what happened, and I agreed to pull up the Anchor, and Sail to the Harbour where we planned to have Lunch. We'll long story short, I got the Boat back to the Mouthnof the Estuary and anchored off again, waiting for the Tide, to be able to get up to the Mooring., and they were still Fast asleep. I'd had a great day, in perfect Sailing Conditions, the Boat went really well, and it was really Sad they had both missed it. In Retrospect, maybe half a Stugeron under the tongue would have done the trick. But most people are happy to accept half a Stugeron, rather than be a Lab Rat. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️
Drones don't handle swinging loads very well. Most people I've seen catching mavics from boat use a hand grip that attaches to the bottom and a long thick glove that protects the forearm. It gives you the confidence to quickly reach up and grab the drone and then tip it upside down so the drone thinks it has crashed and shuts the motors off.
You guys continue to deliver great content. We appreciate to follow you on this epic journey of sailing and discovery. Keep it like this!! Thanks for sharing and God Bless.
Always anxious for your week's video! Thank you for taking us all along on your adventures (and getting to see the super delicious looking food, it's almost like there's a professional food channel snippet embedded each week 🙂)! And I really do like the 360 camera while underway. It sure helps me at least get that wider view of what's all going on around you as you sail through. Really cool, thanks!
You guys are fun and informative. Perspective: I am old retired and in a land locked State in the US. It's 3:00 AM , I have enjoyed your video, as usual! 😘
Oh Sorry guys i didn't know you were heading off to Spain lol i live in Galway. I would have loved too meet you. But i will keep Liking and watching your Video's. I ❤ them 😊. Good Luck crossing over xx
Thatb1979 Fastnet Race Tragedy, finished any thoughts I had about going Sailboat Racing permanently, and I've avoided Every Sailboat with any Racing Pretensions Ever Since. Cruising in Sailboats with everything about them being Cruising emphasised, has been my "Thing" for over 40 years now, and No Regrets, it's been a blast, and I'll take a good Cruising Boat over a so called "Bluewater" Boat as well, as a Good Cruising Boat can easily cross Oceans too, just prepare the Boat accordingly. I may be a bit odd like that, but it works for me. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bob in Wales. 👍⛵️✨️✨️✨️
Pretty scary stuff. We learned about it just before we embarked on this big adventure and we were like ummm😬🫣 but having known about it now, being where we are, it made it pretty special to sail past
Great video. It was interesting to see you sailing the Fast Net area after reading the book “Left for Dead” by Nick Ward who was in one of the wrecked boats.
@@SailingJibsea OK good, it must be that new invisible line they are selling! 🤣🤣🤣Glad you guys made it out to the Fastnet Rock. That race was indeed a mess but there were some fairly famous sailors who participated including Ted Turner.
Brilliant video, I found your fastness section very emotional and I appreciated your respect for that history. I Googled your position and some software came up with you in northern Spain. Wonder if you can recommend a marine tracker for you. Cheers guys. Brian in nz.
So happy to hear you enjoyed the video. It means a lot to us! We do not have a live tracker on a regular basis. Only had one with our iridium during our transatlantic
We’ve not had an issue. They can get slippery like everything else on deck in wet and salty but we haven’t had a need to step on them/work around them like everything else
Your hair is getting long… strange to see it without any blonde either. It’s been a min since I’ve checked in on the channel (you know, life). Be well!

Great seeing you back in my home country waters again & sticking around for a while. You flew through area last time
Wow, when you said you prepared Meals for 5 days of passage…
We did NOT expect that when you showed it… that it would be THAT Nice…!!! 😱🤔😁👍✅
🤣 thanks Anna! We love our food😆😆
Love your videos. You two definitely worth watching

Ah neat! We were wondering what his plan was with that. Thanks for sharing that with us!

You guys are So Good. Thought I'd miss the drone shots, you Really pulled through. Amazing
Yeah! A bit stressful but we got the pics and video after all!😆
Always cool to watch. I hear the Bay of Biscay is notoriously rough. I like that y'all share history of places that you visit.
Love learning little bits and pieces of the places we stop at, even if it’s just for a short while😊
Great episode

Love to hear that! Thanks for joining us. The Insta360 really did help us out. No calibration and a quick grab when time was of the essence😆
AWESOME !!!!! Video. Ireland is such an amazing Country and Islands, A gem in every corner, Enjoy your time there.
Very enjoyable place! The people are so so friendly too it’s awesome
You are both an inspiration. Food looked great! Safe travels.
Thanks Thomas!🤗
I would love to see a foodprep video :D

Wow you’re up early, or late😂 thanks so much, we appreciate the positive feedback and glad you enjoyed it☺️
Thanks!

He was!

Hey guys - looking forward to seeing the crossing through Biscay! What happened to your davits system for your dinghy? You now mount it on deck?
It was a wild ride!! We explain why it’s on deck next week ☺️
👍
How slippery are the new solar panels on deck?
We’ve not had an issue. They can get slippery like everything else on deck in wet and salty but we haven’t had a need to step on them/work around them like everything else
Its really bad when she called you little bear... you know what means ... right..😮
Lmao I just call him little bear cuz it sounds cuter ☺️
@@SailingJibsea lol
