Oh NOW I remember you! You were the dude that screengrabbed a thumbnail of ours, put it in a turn-your-photo-in-art-app, sent it back to us and said he drew a painting of us, then got angry when we didn't share it on our channel
@@seethelittlethings Uh hu , sure, I am actually the one who mentioned your channel in a video and not being able to come back from having a baby as your content was to far behind before the baby. You stated " hold my beer" that was months ago and now you have a long crying post on your site about editing, time and thinking you can change the youtube algorithm. Then with your one crossing where you had to hire a captain your like I know we will start a liveaboard school, what you fail to see is that you don't have an audience, you barely did before and you sure don't now
Good memories! Great job with all the titles and little touches, (“the little things”). I know that stuff takes hours when editing. Btw, create the art for yourself. You don’t owe anyone anything. I’m reading some of the other comments. It’s your journey so enjoy it your way. Cheers!
Great guys, keep going - we know it can be hard - don’t worry about the negative comments - I’m sure they have plenty of great videos to share of their adventures ….. oh wait…. No 😉 😂. You’re out there doing it and are one of the channels that have inspired us to get out there and sail to new places - even if it’s only a weekend sail or a 2 week break. I’ve stopped watching the “big” sailing channel as I found them getting too commercial and lost their grounding, but hey that’s what they want to do. I’d much rather watch channels like yours, SV Impavidus and Adventure Now - you keep it real. Well done.
Loved this and will definitely check it out as I live with a family of land lovers and am desperate to find more ways to get on the water and I LOVE Greece. Great video.
It is SO NICE to have you back. I am glad you have solved your computer issues. Really enjoyed the video and can't wait for the follow-ups of the rest of the trip.
.... Yikes .... a boat load of paparazzi .... sorta made me think of when one sees add for a vacation at Disney and all I can think is that I'd need a vaca after that experience .... see you are not in the tropics currently by the foliage in the back ground ... thx for the share, you are both looking healthy and spry .... thx for the share .. as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans ...
I was thinking the same ,sailed across the Atlantic with so loose rigging he couldn't put full sails out a Dr ,i don't think so , just another accident waiting to happen
@@Mechone11 obviously you don’t know rigging. Our rigging is not “so loose we couldn’t put up full sail” it was loose enough to reduce stress on the rig while still being tight enough to do its job. We weren’t full sail because our sails were balanced. Unbalanced sails will sail you faster but generate a lot of weather helm (or sometimes lee helm). You personally overcome this by turning the rudder and fighting the helm. Imagine doing that for a month straight, 24/7… your arms would fall off. If you try and make your autopilot fight it for you, it will wear out and break. The smart thing to do is to balance the sails so that the boat sails with a straight rudder. Then the autopilot just adjusts course instead of fighting the sails. Balancing the sails is accomplished by trimming and adjusting the size of sail flown. In our case, we were going down wind. This means big headsail and small mainsail. To take the boom out of the equation and keep the Center of Effort close to the midline of the boat, we flew our trysail. Depending on the winds, we either had our staysail or our jib set. If we were on a beam reach, like when we left Bermuda, then we were full main, jib, and staysail. Sailing across an ocean isn’t putting up all your sails and going really fast. It’s using your gear appropriately when the situation is right to do so. If you use a hammer as a vise grip, you won’t get the job done because you are using the wrong tool and the wrong way.
This was a huge learning experience for us. We were heading south along the Florida coast and were pinned between the Gulf Stream and the beach. We were dumb at that time and decided to sail in that narrow strip of water. Our windvane control line that pulls the boat to port fell off so we turned to starboard and the windvane couldn’t correct it. In five minutes, we thumped the sand of the beach on a dark night. That’s when I noticed the change in direction 😨 Now that we have experience with ocean sailing and long passages (our usual hop when out in the Atlantic was minimum 1000 miles) we would never have sailed so close to shore. We always keep a minimum of 100nm from a coast to avoid repeating this same mistake. Hopefully others have learned from our mistake so that they can avoid the same distress.
@@seethelittlethings But Alex lol...please be mindful that you usually look miserable, annoyed, or in a serious mood. That's okay because I rather see people behave authentically instead of being fake happy...plus we can then appreciate the times when you are in a happy or humorous mood. Leave the annoying happy cheeriness to us loud Americans... ugh... embarrassing! P.S. I love seeing Levi smiling but I crack up when he has the exact same scowl look as his father. Your eyes look identical when scowling. 😊
... and now this one popped up. Maaaan, this is bad. This one havent turend up EVEN THOUGH I'm a sub. Shit. Guys, I love you, but get a scedule! You are TOO fucking good to drown on the algorythm. How can I help? /Catta
You guys need to stop being so dramatic about space time continuum. It's just a travel video 🤣

All I read was crying about editing, excuses and nonsense, like I said months ago, the channel won't survive

ok, good banter. Did you say everything you wanted to say?
@@seethelittlethings Comments help your algorithm ;)
Beautifully edited and masterfully told. Loved reliving this adventure through your lens!
Thanks guys, it's been such a cool week getting to know you!
Love the flashback. Seen Josh’s version and was really looking forward to yours.

Thanks Josh, yeah it was a really good week wasn't it :)
Great to see you all back
This is what people want, old footage from months and months ago,
Right? Don't know wtf is going on.
What a day. Are you excited for the rest of the week?
I think you guys do a great job. You do your vlog your way. Don't let anyone stop you from getting things done. Great video.
Thanks RR :) Hope Greece is treating you well too 🍻 Wish we were there again
@@seethelittlethings currently in Dodecanese, Leipso Island, Kouloura Bay. Quiet harbor, friendly sailors...

Thanks Sharon 😊 we love it too !
“I forgot the baby” … damn you I’d exactly what my sister did to all 3 of her kids. Well at least you remembered before heading out.
Good one guys
When are you sailing back to Greece?
How wonderful
Depends on transmission if its a hurth it goes in reverse or you will be rebuilding
It is SO NICE to have you back. I am glad you have solved your computer issues. Really enjoyed the video and can't wait for the follow-ups of the rest of the trip.
Thanks Eric, happy you enjoyed it

Herby for captain? Well... he did lay one boat on his side in the surf
If only we knew this back then

@@RiggingDoctor really then you should go back and re watch your own vids
As an American... I am shocked by the microwaved eggs. I will be making eggs like that when I travel
Subscribe to bums on a boat for more travel hacks 🙃
If this sailing in Greece then I'd rather go somewhere else.
Nightmare.
had *the worst* time on this trip, glad it shows 🥂
