Hello all,
We are currently on an offshore passage to America, we will respond to all your comments when we get there
Thank you very much
Hope you all have a fantastic week
Luke and Adam
BVI Customs: You’re the worst pirates we’ve ever heard of.
Sailing Brothers: But, you have heard of us.
😂😂 crap pirates
im still slowly catching up. Your videos are going from strength to strength they really are inspiring keep it up boys.
You still have quite a bit to catch up on. Really glad you're enjoying the episodes ✌️
One of my favorite sailing channels ☝🏽👊🏽👍🏽⛵️
Thanks border collie very much appreciated ✌️
Reminds me of a TV series about Canadian Customs I watched a few weeks ago. A guy sailed into Canadian waters, anchored and ate breakfast for one hour before heading straight to Customs. He was immediately slapped with a $1000 fine and forced to leave. Luckily, it sounds like the officials you dealt with were a little more reasonable.
Wow $1,000 fine just for having breakfast that is pretty severe. When we arrived in Canada sailing from Boston the customs were extremely friendly and chill. We did everything correct when we arrived.
Guys, please please tie a line around the clew of main sail and back to end of boom when reefed. If the reefing line chafes and beaks the main sail will likely rip all the way along the reefing points. I sailed in Rival 38 out of Venezuela and Trinidad, most of the time mainsail reefed. If was standard practice to tie down the clew after reefing. I learned this trick from sailing with Stokey Woodall who has had many Trans Atlantic crossings
This has happened to me, now I carry a giant soft shackle to easily attach when reefing the main.
We will definitely start doing this from now on Aubrey 👍 Thank you for the information much appreciated 🙏
And please!
The music!
I'm begging you!
If it is music.
It reminded me of a mentally challenged mute trying to sing/ cry about how sad he was when his night night blanket had to be thrown out because moms new boyfriends stupid dog tore it up.
Luke/Adam, every country has their set regulations especially in the Caribbean/Bahamas! Basically you got lucky! This pertain to the United States as well! Just a suggestion, use you VHF and inquire what's the formalities!
Sail On!
⛵🇺🇸
We should have done a lot more research James. Each country is different and we shouldn't have assumed they operate in a similar way. In the US now all cleared in done properly 👍
@@TheSailingBrothers
Luke/Adam, Welcome to the United States of America!! As a cruiser and a sailor for most of my life our waters are filled with many enjoyable achoranges! We have the longest inland waterway in the world from Brownsville, Texas to Eastport, Maine! Our sea foods are wonderful but please have a boiled Maine lobster with plenty of butter!
Sail On!⛵🇺🇸
Really great job on this one boys! Fantastic music choices and some really helpful info too. I really liked the backstory of the island.
Luke worked his magic on the editing again. Salt Island was great 👌
As a rule you should always contact authorities prior to arriving ...this informs you of any legal issues and safety issues within the area...keep it up ..stay safe and enjoy...
Yes that it is good idea. Even just a quick email just to let them know. We made a big mistake it'll never happen again 😃
Thanks again for a great video best of luck and safe journey.
No probs Lee ⛵😎
Lovely episode as usual boys. That little house on salt island will do for me thanks. Sorry you had that trouble with customs, you had definitely lost your sparkle a bit after that, scary stuff I know. Anyway, smile and wave and on to the next adventure. All the best lads, safe travels.
I could see myself refurbish in the house and living there. Big lesson learnt with the customs and immigration. Onwards and upwards Cousin Jack 👍👌
My new favourite sailing channel, cheers lads 👍
Absolutely brilliant thank you so much 🙏
Brilliant episode guys though my heart sank when I read the title, I thought it was the end of your adventures for sure. You lucky lucky lads 👍🏻
We were very lucky Daniel. Always make sure you proceed to a port of entry 👍
Good information men. Thank you and of course being honest paid off.
No probs Shawn. It really did pay off 👍
some great camera angles really showed off the sailing well felt like i was onboard ,glad you never got fined salt island looks beautiful i want that house on the beach to restore lol great video guys
Thanks Eddie 👍 Salt Island was really nice, great history. Would love to restore one of those houses and live there
Glad you guys were ok 👍. Enjoy the rest of your travels around the BVI.
Left the BVI we are in North Carolina now arrived Friday. Epic passage vids coming up soon
Brilliant episode again. Good to see you upload and safe and what not.
Take care, both! Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks very much 👌. Love what we are doing ❤️
Hi Ya's
Lesson learned. Gr8 video gr8 camera work keep it up
Love u both take care
Tony
To right Tony. It will never happen again. Thanks bud 👌
What a great experience you two lads are enjoying. So, from Cwmfelinfach in the Sirhowy Valley, South Wales, CONGRATULATIONS and keep it up. Regards Michael
Thanks Michael we are having the time of our lives on this adventure couldn't get any further away from good old Wales 😁
Happy you were let off! Yup, make more use of the VHF! Good luck guys 👍
Thanks Robert. Lucky to get away with it. More research next time and yes use the VHF
So glad you didn’t get fined, I bet you both were sweating bullets waiting for their decision! Glad all is well, thanks for a great video!
It was horrible Kim wondering whether we would get that fine! 🙄
Glad they let you off, good lesson to us would be cruisers, thanks for sharing!👍
Big lesson Mad Prof! Always proceed directly to a port of entry 👍
Great footage guys! Love the bow splitting footage could watch and listen to that all day and night long lol 👍👍👊👊
It is a wonderful sound ⛵😁
@@TheSailingBrothers 👍👍👊👊
Amazing adventure lad me and my son are currently Anchored up and watched it. You lads had some awesome sailing atlas was smashing along.. And what a stroke of luck you didn't get the big fine omg I would of been gutted for you bothe.. Anyway great up load amazing work on editing the music was epic along with the video safe passage fairwinds from me Dylan captain and the good ship Tilley p👍💪⛵🌍✌️💜💯🧀🧀
Hey Ricky and Jack. Lovely to know you were anchored up watching this video 👍. Overall it was a fantastic passage. Shame about the total mess up with customs and immigration big lesson learnt there. Thanks for the positive comments 👊 ⛵😁👍👌
Hey guys! I'm a new sub and wanna say a big hello from southern Tennessee USA 🇺🇸 😊 ENJOYED the one of the FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE. God bless and keep ya safe. Have fun...catch a 🐟 🐠 🎣
Hey Ondi Logan from southern Tennessee 👋. Really glad you enjoyed the episode and roll on Sunday for the next ⛵😁
Hmmm, I wonder where these fellas are from? “We should be there about tea time” lol love it
Our mum used to shout her up the stairs " tea's up boys" 🤣
Another cracking video lad's.
Glad you only got a warning that could have been the last of the videos😬
Just to clarify Luke's dam was the best by far.
Keep it up lad's happy sailing😉
Thanks Barry. It would have been the end of the channel 😓. Never make that mistake again. Luke's was better 😄
Good music guys! We follow you from Montreal , Canada.
Greetings to Montreal Canada ⛵
Potatoes and curry comment: Dam that’s good 😄. “Adam doesn’t give a dam”? The British Virgin Islands were superb when I did a short charter sail there ten years ago. Another enviable passage and a great video chaps!
Luke's dam was better but I just wanted to eat 🤣🤣. The islands are beautiful and the sailing is incredible. Lesson learnt Joel
Well done people, glad it turned out ok for you guys. Any decent sailor would know not to do what you did ( as if) but they will do now thanks to your video. Keep up the good work.
A lesson learnt, big lesson. Don't assume all countries are the same. Always report straight to a port of entry
Hi hello friends Michael here, just wantna say thanks for the video very entertaining very exciting I like that very much.And the history lesson was amazing, and stay safe guys.
Hello Michael. Thanks for the message, much appreciated 🙏. Loved the BVI'S but need very deep pockets
Another great blog Luke/Adam very entertaining I am glad they did not take it any further, because if you could not pay the fine, they would of claped the pair of you in irons!
It would have been a very long holiday [joke] Carry on enjoying the time of your life, do use your radio to find out procedures before you arrive.
Thanks very much John 🙏. I don't know what we would have done if we received the fine. Prison😟 we should make use of the radio. Lesson learnt
luke built the better dam haha. great work fellas, thank you
Dam it!! 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Another entertaining video, lesson learnt, must say I would have probably done the same. Now we know..... !
Thanks Graham 👌. Lesson to everyone there, don't be a fool like us !!
I thought I had tuned into 'Banged up Abroad'...glad you're OK and on your way again. The sailing footage at the beginning was absolutely superb! As for the dams, I'd have personally gone for volcano style crater so in my opinion, they were both crap! Take care guys, this episode was a cracker :-)
It was a very close call big lesson learnt. The passage was really good had some awesome sailing. The dams were pretty rubbish. Need to get some deep bowls. Cheers Martin 👍
Close call lads 10k would have been a real bummer, glad it all worked out for you in the end and you dodged the bullet some great footage and Atlas sailing have fun
Would have been the end of the channel 😓. Lucky escape. Will never happen again
No travel diary would be complete without administrative hassle and customs’ tales of woe! The laws are not made for wanderers...🤔 Safe travels and fair winds!
We will always remember this! Added to the memory bank ☺️ more research needed on every country we enter 👍
Thank you for sharing this video. I am grateful as most would not publish a video like this. Now I will know to go straight to a port of entry first.
We had a lot of stick publishing this video because we done the wrong thing. Big lesson learnt 🤔⛵
Nice video, glad they only gave you a warning and some paperwork!
We were very very lucky John
Great video lads
Cheers Wayne 😁
We'll guy's what a close call everyone makes mistake expecially when ya'll go to the crabbing island each one has its own rules, tre, make you call to portraits before you reach land that's what I find easier. But what a fantastic sailing adventure, great filming keep having fun, stay safe I'm I England watching ya'll won't be long until I'll see ya'll 👍
Hey Winston. Shouldn't have assumed customers and immigration regulations were the same as other countries. Big lesson learnt there. Have fun in England 😁⛵👊
You didn't get in any trouble!!! If only we all knew respected Natural Law!
Well best dam would be Luke he has the structural arc to contain any forces pushed against it... Adam is just wanting to get busy and eat 🤣😂🤣😂 Great episode guys!! 👊👍👊👍
The arc should be the other way though to really withstand the extreme pressures of a well made curry
@@thestardusterchronicles5462 true if you had walls to anchor on to.. Yep
I didn't put much effort into my dam it's got to be said. Just wanted to eat the dam food 🤣🤣
@@TheSailingBrothers 👍👍👊👊😂😂🤣🤣
Got giggles with your curry & mash dams & barriers 🤣🤣 And Luke wins that one 🤣
We are big kids 🤣🤣🤣
Just a quick thank you.....Number 1: you intro with a fix (chart orientation) and number 2: you don't say "nautical miles" just "miles". Very awesome...!
Thanks Roger for the comment 🙏
A good lesson to be learned and pass on to others.
Big lesson learnt!!!
Brilliant 👌
👍😎
Ps good work on the dame any spillage is a nightmare no comment on who's the best dam.. 😅😂🤣as long as it worked 🙏👍💪⛵🌍✌️💜💯🧀🧀
Cheers Ricky and Jack. Luke's was the best 😟😂😂
Delicious!!!
Hi boys from my northern Michigan hunting shack turkey hunting. Great video I like the shots of the boat going thru the water on her bow and down her side. She's doing you blokes a great job. Cool honesty is always best policy unless your politician then just lie
Hi Gail. How did the turkey hunting go? Had a really good Passage to the BVI some awesome sailing. Atlas always looks after us ⛵
Hi boys the weather was really bad for turkey hunting so I didn't get one. I planted 100 red pine trees n 3 apple trees n 15 walnut trees so I did get something done
@@dogmom6010 that is amazing, well bloody done, a lot of trees
You guys have a safe passage around the Florida keys the waters can be a little crazy at times but do try, stop off at the key west 🤙
Hey Winston. We are in North Carolina now Winston. Arrived Friday after 12 days at sea ⛵😁
Bloody hell, I could understand if a patrol had caught you anchored at a non port of entry but you went straight to the correct port to sort it as soon as (you thought) it was possible. To me that shows clear intent to follow procedure. Glad they had a bit of understanding and common sense :)
Lesson learned anyway lads and cheers for sharing so I can learn it too without all the stress an worry!
I think because we were completely honest and explained exactly what we had done, they decided to let us off with a warning because we weren't hiding anything. Never mind a big lesson learnt always proceed directly to a port of entry no matter what time of day
Luke’s dam wins 😁
Dam it 😔😉
Well done :)
⛵😁
great job hope delos, zingaro a and other telenovela sailing channels are learning from you...i am behing you , may catch up in the azores, cheers
Thanks Pol👌⛵ would love to visit the Azores 😁
Scary time with the customs it sounds, really lucky no fines, maybe they had there quota for the day, superb sailing videos, and island shots. Safe journey and keep the videos coming 🍷
We were very lucky we didn't get into serious trouble and receive a large find or have the boat taken. Big lesson learnt. Was a fantastic passage though ⛵😁
Sheesh glad it was not worse for that port entry stuff... Sheesh.. Glad it is all sorted now!! Be safe guys! 👍👍
Could have been a disaster for the channel. Never happen again
@@TheSailingBrothers live and learn SB crew! As long as you learn from it keep moving forward!! 👍👍👌👌👏👏Besides we knew you were on a secret mission to recover some stolen cheese and that must continue at all costs!! Have to sample every cheese wheel to make sure you find that one!! 😂🤣😂🤣
@@ThoughtfulWander hahaha
@@TheSailingBrothers 👍👍😂😂🤣🤣
You even had the proof of your thought processes on video "We got to Peter Island as on Sunday the customs will be closed". So if you were fined, you may have pulled that as proof you were far from malicious. Glad it all worked out in the end, but the fuzz was a bit weird, especially as you are UK citizens :P Wonderful video and I want that house on Salt Island ^^
That is true MCallsen. We could have used the vid footage if it all went pair shaped. That house was pretty cool could refurbish it and live there.
i have arrived in barbados twice on christmas day, customs were open for clearing in .always arrive at a port of entry and try to clear in.
Exactly right Robert. A big mistake made. Lesson learnt
Another good video Luke and Adam some good sailing conditions, I live in Thailand and know Customs & Immigration can be a bit of a minefield my sound was dodgy dit you get fined or a Warning. ???
I hope they signed up as Subscribers to your channel hee hee.
Dave B. Thailand
Cheers David. Your the second person to mention Thailand as being a little awkward. No fine received lucky. $10000 would have ended us. Thanks very much for subbing!! 🙏
Rules and their enforcement vary country to country and even port to port about entry issues (such as whether you are allowed to anchor overnight before checking in) but one rule is absoloute: Never lie to a Government official. That is typically a criminal offense, more severe than any procedural transgression. And in this age of satellites, AIS etc they probably do know your precise movements. You made the right call.
That's exactly right Stephen. You're being watched 24/7. Never make that mistake again 😭
Glad it all worked out for you, lads! Honesty goes a long way. On the nautical side, maybe this is just me, but that snatch block attacked to the lifelife stanchion (around minute 3:45) makes me pretty nervous -- that plate might be backed sufficiently for the loads there, and if there's been no problems thus far then that's a good sign, but it still gives me a bit of a queasy feeling and I'd hate for anything bad to suddenly happen. Maybe your other learned viewers might weigh in...
its for the genoa furler. theres never much load . i ve 4 along my life lines more of a guide than to take the strain
@@jonshaw4344 Oh! I thought it was a headsail sheet. Yeah for a furler that's probably fine! Cheers
It's for the roller furler Roger. It's exactly what Jon said. We also have 4 of them running forward to help guide and line and keep it clear of the decks. Thanks for the message, very much appreciated 🙏
We were met by a nasty customs officer in the BVI who was angry we wore shorts to checkin. I may never go back and that was 40 years ago!
That's absolutely ridiculous Timothy 😱
Shew lads... Customs -scary - glad you did not get the fine... naughty naughty head straight to your Port of Entry .. thank god it was a warning..
Always head to a port of entry big learnt learnt. Will never make that mistake again
Luke’s for the curry & mash 😄😁🙏💚
It was much better 😟😁
Lucky escape guys but I doubt you will do that again. As mentioned get onto some of the local VHF groups and find out what the formalities are ref where you are headed. Take care and I hope the offshore passage to the USA is going well. Don’t less with their customs guys. Andy UK
A big lesson learnt there Andy. We really should have done our research. Shouldn't have assumed they were like the rest of the places we have visited. VHF groups sounds very interesting 👍. Passage to the united states went to very well arrived yesterday 😁
@@TheSailingBrothers Hi guys, great news you have arrived safely. Good luck and stay safe. Andy
As a plague ship..clearly denoted by dirty washing hanging from the yard arm you did everything correct. 😁 So having a British passport for place named British in its title obviously🤣🤣 means naff all ..
Being British mean absolutely nothing there. They have their own rules they play by. Next time we will proceed directly to a port of entry 👍😎
Great episode guys . The music bit was lovely. Why are the houses abandoned on salt island? X
Thanks Snowy Owl 👊
Not really sure why. Probably because there's nothing there. Or the 2017 hurricane destroyed them
Technically you were anchored off Tortola, just closer to Peter Island.
Luke gets the best dam :)
It was 🤣🤣
Phew close shave with the authorities lucky they were in a benevolent mood
Very lucky. We will never do that again!!!
Unbelievable....money hungry modern pirates ,,might as well live in the 14 th century..you boys , brave souls, balls of iron..happy sailing, see much.
I'm afraid that's correct, it's such a damn shame as the place is beautiful. I'm pretty sure we will come across places like this on our travels 😭
The dam on the left is better, but there was way too much curry. Nice video.
Luke's was better 😭. I just wanted to eat mine 😂😂😂
Bahamas same when it comes to clearing in.
Would like to visit the bahamas one day ⛵
Tricky day with customs. It happens to the honest ones. BUT, did you get directions to the cheese shop 🤔 😄😄
A lucky escape there. We made a big mistake, lesson learnt. No cheese shops unfortunately 😟
Lukes dam was best..
It was! I just wanted to eat 🤣
Nice to see the drake channel. Last time I was there it was full of noisy yanks.....ah guess you boys gonna have to git used to that...hehehe
Brought back some good memories for you. Just landed in the US yesterday 👌
Passages will make you a bit crazy. To be honest, passaging IS crazy! 😛
They sure can do that! It blurred our minds 🤣
Mash has to have a dam for the sauce. No question!!
Especially on a heeling boat 🤣🤣
Luke wins!!
Dam it 😔
Lesson learned, hopefully, - always play dumb, don't say any more than is necessary and never admit to anything. 😉
Being completely honest got us into a lot of trouble. Never mind never do that again
we need those blokes down in Dover that may stop the boats coming over
BVI is one of the most corrupted Caribbean islands I'm afraid lads. Happy sailing 🐼🇹🇹
Sure is James. Amazing place though really b beautiful and the people who live there are very friendly 😁
@@TheSailingBrothers really is beautiful.. Hopefully next year you can see more or even usvi St John.. Beautiful island ❤️
@14:00 (First time viewer(?)) I have not read any of the other comments, so forgive me if I am echoing their message, but one of the main reasons countries have ports and f entry, is so that new arrivals are in a known location where they can be loosely monitored for any contraventions or illegal activities. In retrospect, you must agree that it looks very suspicious for an unknown, undeclared vessel, who has not alerted authorities to their pending arrival, from who knows where, to anchor somewhere other than the port of entry. If I were in any bureaucratic or law enforcement role, my first thought would be ‘Hmmm, engaging in some sort of illegal activity - (Drug smuggling? People smuggling?...)
It’s very fortunate that you are UK nationals in a UK governed jurisdiction. If you tried the same thing in the US Virgin Islands, you probably would have been arrested and incarcerated. The yanks don’t screw around when it comes to “Homeland security”
Hope you remember this lesson for the rest of your cruising days.
N.B. A note will more than likely be put on your immigration files (via your passport and the ships’ registration/immigration files, which is visible to a lot of foreign law enforcement agencies for an indeterminate length of time. (May be a few years or so, or it may be permanent. Who knows?)
Yes it was a big lesson learnt and we will never do that again! Always follow the rules and regulations and research before entering every country
Luke did say he was nervous about checking in! Trap! I bet they give out fines regularly. Nice little earner!
He was nervous. Maybe it was a sign 🙄. Apparently the do give out a lot of fines
Luke Damm is best but no grated cheddar 😔
Luke's was better. Hard to find cheddar out here 😓
I think I can guess what you did not want to mention . $$$
well done to get where you are ,watch out for officials.Sailed across the south china seas a couple of years ago from hong kong to ko samui thailand ,the thai officials wouldn't let us go until we paid a bribe.Stay safe out there guys
Yeah a big lesson learnt there John. That's terrible 🙄, so much corruption. Sure we will see a lot worse if we get to sail around the world
You guys need giant bowls instead of plates.
On the look out 👁️
Plans on the way for a bigger boat yes but when
I don't think we will ever sell Atlas Steven
@@TheSailingBrothers hi my friend I would like to buy like a 28 ft yacht for about 10 thousand but I do not have any yachting experiences there are a lot of rocks out there in see
Bowls boys .
Going to get some 👍
👍
Cheers John John 🙏
I would have made a hole in the middle of the mashed potato and made it look like a volcano.... 😜
🤣🤣🤣 you big kid 😂😂 🤔 that's us!!
Try Mozambique where a hefty fine of many thousands of dollars awaits you should low-level inspectors ambushing sailors in the Mozambican channel find any flag on-board which is larger than the Mozambican flag.
That is absolutely ridiculous! Anything for money 💰
Is the close up footage of the boat sailing through the water around 4:35 speeded up. It looks great. If so, by how much? 1.5x, 2x?
Hi Paul thanks for your question, no it is not speeded up at all, it is original footage, Atlas was really flying
good vid,,,,,,,what was that music at 4.40
The music was legacy by Nomyn James
Question.
What if I droped anchor at a certain point, you stayed on anchor for less than 24 hs, and then you just keeped sailing somewhere else? Would I get in trouble??
Yes you would be breaking maritime law in that country if you haven't signed in. However country's have a legal obligation to let you in to shelter from bad weather if you are in immediate danger
The Nefarious Brothers !!!
😁
I wonder while the authorities had you bailed up in their office all day, if someone went out to give your boat a little check over, see if you were carrying something you shouldn't be?
I wouldn't be surprised at all! Maybe they were doing their checks to see if if we were up to no good 🤔😲
