What it is REALLY like to LIVE AT SEA | 950nm and 7 days between Antigua and Bermuda -
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 июл 2022
- In 2016, when Ryan and I decided to move onboard a sailboat to sail the World, we had no idea what it was like to actually live at sea. Was it boring? Dangerous? Exciting? How do you eat and how do you sleep? How is seasickness and how much do you motor?
These days, long ocean passages are part of our routine, and while we sail 950 nautical miles between Antigua and Bermuda, we take you through our offshore routine, and compare what we used to do when we were noobs to how we sail now.
Offshore sailing is the best, and we hope this gives you a bit of ocean envy!

I always enjoy a peek into the world through sophie's eyes.. a wry clever lady.
Leaving on a passage and Ryan is chill.
RIGHT????? I also noted that when it happened. All in all, it was a super chilled passage.
Fun. Challenging. And surprising! Was Francis lost overboard? And that Foccocia bread sunset on glasslike water with luminous pastel nimbus clouds - so spectacular. MOAR, please?
Nous envions le style de vie que vous menez, vous vivez dans un état de vacances permanentes sans avoir à vous soucier de ce qui se passe dans le reste du monde, vivant sur le revenu des publicités de RUclips. S'il vous plaît continuez, vous êtes brillant. Nous aimons aussi le drame clickbait dans vos clip.
Sophie, je voulais te féliciter pour ton travail d’édition qui s’améliore de vidéo en vidéo quand tu ajoutes à cela un ton et un humour de la première heure le plaisir de regarder vos vidéos ne fait que augmenter !! Merci pour les très bon moment
Gosh, guys!!! I've missed you both! Welcome back!!
Wow! Focaccia with chocolate chips and sea salt! Need that recipe!
While I love the sailing/cruising portions of your videos, the good and the bad. It’s Sophie’s cooking that makes me realize I need to expand my culinary horizons
Living on a boat will do that to you 😅 The most challenging part about this lifestyle is to be “creative with what you have”, as you never know what you’ll be able to provision with 🤪
Always. A good idea.
Fantastic, again thank you for sharing your adventures. Calm, cool and collected problem solving, love it.
We envy the lifestyle that you have, you live in a state of a permanent vacation not having to care about what's happening in the rest of the world, living from RUclips adverts. Please continue, you are brilliant. We also love the clickbait drama.
I just adore you both! Thanks for sharing your lives with us grateful for the opportunity to learn from you both ✌🏼💗😊❣️
Great teamwork! Definitely your most glamorous video. You guys are truly inspiring.
Loved watching this episode! So interesting!
So excited for new update. Can't wait to see pics from Canada.
Super glad to see the two of you doing well! Passagemaking is hard work and I really like that you don't sugarcoat the challenges of offshore sailing.
Sending the best vibes possible and looking forward to seeing more of your adventures!
Lovely video! Thank you for sharing all of this with us! Those meatballs looked good :-)!
Thank you Tom! :)
How wonderful you are back.
It's always so hard on us when we can't publish regularly... but as I'll talk about in a few videos down the road, life has been a bit chaotic lately :p
@@RyanSophieSailing Chaotic (which is life) or not, it's wonderful seeing your passage making. It lifts my soul. Excellent
What a great video...thanks for sharing✌️💜
Great video. The clouds. and calm seas on your last night were spectacular.
What a great video you guys never seem to disappoint thank you
Thank you Tammy 💙💙💙💙💙
Nice trip... you guys make it look easy.
Hey folks , new subscriber. So far I am on video #14 but I had to pop in and say hello and thank you for sharing your life aboard with us :). As a side note to you Sophie, I flew in the AF like Ryan and I used to get violently, debelitatingly motion sick by just thinking about a car trip. When I went through training it was either overcome it or pick a different job. Ryan Mentioned the Bárány chair. It worked for me! For 5 days I would get spun 3 times in the chair, each time until I threw up, small break, then spin again. It was hell but now for over 10years I have been completely cured. I can handle any turbulance and enjoy any activity without the slightest feeling of upset. All of the things I had to do before like drinking the correct liquids, staring at the horizon when possible, force feeding myself, all superflous now.
A very cool and representative video!
And I must agree with Ryan - the birds are cute companions until you realize how much shit they leave behind and how hard it is to get it off! :D
Great video, guys and a fairly 'uneventful' passage for the first one in several months. Enjoy Bermuda.
always a pleasure to watch n laugh with u guys..love that free loader u had with u..he did ride the bus free..o n ryans cookn beats all. i need him to cook for me too.huggs and fair winds n blue skies
Great Vlog as always. Fair winds ⛵️😎
I really enjoyed this episode.
Great episode filming, thanks .we'll done .Greetings from beautiful Hawaii islands 🏝 ⛵
Hi Sophie, Ryan and Frankie, I so enjoy passages with u, Sophie ur truly a special Woman, u cook , u clean, u sail and most of all, u have a fabulous personality. U keep the spirit high and ur just so real there's no B.S. just honest reality. Ryan do u do any cooking ? Seems Sophie does the lot. And what's the go with hassling out a tired bird, poor things lost at sea. What's up Ryan u seem so down an bored come on man cheer up anyway Great vlog woman, and we loved ur Music. Keep smiling and thanks for sharing.🤣🌈🌟🌠🇦🇺🇸🇪
Nice! This is classic R&S Sailing. Maybe I'll put it into my ASMR folder as well as my Sailing folder 👍
What a beautiful video!
Thank you! It was a beautiful passage too :)
Great Video !
That was a very enjoyable and exciting passage to Bermuda. You guys are a great team. I'll be watching you more as a subscriber. From Oklahoma Land locked, Cheers and safe travels. 🇺🇸
Greater job with the photography and the editing
Sophie, you have a knack for storytelling (I think I saw you on Too Shorts Video as well :) ). Great job again and look forward to more. Thanks for sharing.
I love a good Dark Crystal reference!
Oh yeah
Great episode. It’s good to see y’all really sailing again, you both look happy. This is when y’all are at your best.
Bonne continuation vos vidéos sont très belles, bon vent à vous.
Hi Ryan & Sophie , I only came across your’e channel 48hrs ago and I’ve been binge watching, Brilliant RUclips Video’s by the way especially the solo Atlantic Crossing and the Migrant Watch, that’s ever present in the English Channel 63 today ( Sunday 4th September 2022 ) I have the same sailboat as you well nearly I have the Beneteau 46 2016.
In my opinion they are the best factory built Yacht’s in the world and I’ve been sailing for over 35yrs I’m 55yrs old this November and I started sailing at 14.
I’ll be leaving the UK in the next couple of weeks I don’t like winter so I’m off to warmer climates ( Caribbean I think or Asia and Simoa Island’s etc
Coming to Canada finally?? you are so welcome!!
Just to let you know that you are the only sailors that wears religiously their life jacket & tethering line. Others may do it some of the time while others never do it at all. I totally agree with your actions. Safety has to come first all the time.
I hadn't realised how much I missed you guys since the last video! So glad you had a safe passage... and God speed, Francis!
You named the bird FRANCES?! Lol. Now that is funny. Heidi
If i'm totally honest here. Ii really do miss the sea sickness glasses!!?
Sophie you have a great view on life, your dance moves were pretty sweet, lol. Ryan please please please educate Sophie on some classic rock or maybe some 90s grunge. Or heck maybe some 70s disco to help her dancing game. And also get rid of Francis. He’s a freeloader. I’ve never seen a bird take a trip on a sailboat for such a long time.
If I may, I just want to say I've been following you guys since you were deep in the Mediterranean.. and you two always manage to bring a big smile to my face. So thank you for that I love you guys, be safe take care I'm hoping one of these days I'm going to have an opportunity to meet up. But keep doing what you're doing. Knowing that you always manage to bring a smile to someone's face.. take care be safe
Dijon Mustard Chicken for dinner tonight. Thanks Sophie. 🇨🇦 Vancouver
More Rum Swizzle. Was there a few weeks ago and everyone is always so nice.
Cure for sea sickness is steam the boat manually, instead of the auto Pilot, you will get your sea legs faster, taking turns that way you will both do better then, after legs then auto pilot. Note this will work in the worst conditions.
So THAT's what it is REALLY like to LIVE AT SEA. :) Even the first day beats the best day at the office. What a wonderful episode, I really missed you.
It truly does. I love offshore sailing!!!
I may have asked this already, but any chance you could publish a cookbook?
you can call me on the sat-phone for advise how to heat up the frozen mashed patato balls lol. for the nostalgic feeling lol. thanks again for the fun videos
ps stay safe on your yourneys
Hahaha, thanks for being the safe space Ryan needs on his cooking adventures Lars! 😉🥰😂
Great vid Sophie!!!…..but that Playlist 😂😂😂😂😂!! It was scarier than pulling seaweed off the prop at night! Check out Ryan Bingham and Nikki Lane, great floating music.
Sophie calls Francis a freeloader, I saw a potential lunch. lol. What a delightful video.
Lol, you'll have to send me the recipe! :p Are seagulls tasty?!
@@RyanSophieSailing I am told they taste like chicken. lol.
Pommes de terre aux truffe, formidable!
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
@20:40 liked Sophie's comment to Ryan that she made mashed potatoes and meatballs in 30 minutes that did not need a satellite phone call (hilarious) ! Of course , Ryan was a gentleman getting "dished" . Also , liked the glimpse of reality in blue water sailing . Definitely takes a person with a sense of adventure , confidence , the ability to "think outside the box " , mechanical ability , and real seamanship .
An other great episode guys!
I'll be doing the Atlantic crossing as crew in November and hope that it will be as smooth as your crossing.
Except the fouled prop off course.
Good old Ryan SO pragmatic.
Please keep the cook book on the boat. Do you have the recipe for famous DDP's. It's an Iowa traditional breakfast. 1) 1 egg, 2) milk 3) self rising flour 4) sunflower oil but olive is possible 4) 2 T sugar and salt....... 1 hot Grill/Skillet. Canadian syrup is a plus.
Sophie-- You never did try the electric relief band, did you?
What size fuel tank do you guys have on polar seal ? Gerry cans ?
I would have thought Francis (Frances?) would have already graduated from Naval Aviator Training and certification for carrier landings.
Hmm. Lots of Noise from Engine…Any way to get insulated? Continue to Stay Safe & Enjoy😎
Yeah our boat is an absolute tractor... Since we are considering a mini loop through the US and Quebec next year with lots of motoring, we are planning on re-insulating the engine room. Another exciting project for another exciting time :p
Was that US Coast Guard in Bermuda????
PS if you guys ever need any extra crew I'm right here ready to rock and roll have my foul weather gear and everything ready to go.
I’m with Ryan, I wouldn’t want a bird shitting on my boat for days on end either!
This passage from Antigua to Bermuda seemed to be “comfortable” compared to your passage last year from Bonaire to Bermuda.
I remember the terrible sea states that you encountered going through the Mona Passage, a strait that separates the islands of Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico and connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Sea. As you mentioned in that video, it is one of the most difficult passages in the Caribbean. It is fraught with variable tidal currents created by the large islands on either side of it, and by sand banks that extend out for many miles from both coasts.
Happy you took an easier route this year!
PS - I think Francis flew overhead at my home in early July but he didn’t land - No solar panels! 😁
They have IALA b system for red and green bouys yes?
They do! :)
Did you report the illegal wildlife you were bringing into the country? Did the poor seagull make it to Bermuda with you? Another enjoyable video. Thanks!
Hahaha! :D Francis never made it to Bermuda with us, he flew away after Ryan showed annoyance at the poop on the panels :p
The bird looks like a Brown phase.
Hey guys hope you're doing well. It's been a while since I've caught up with your Channel. But you guys have remarkably stepped up to the plate, you guys are now bona fide Sailors that I want to compliment you on that. You guys have now figured it out it's not a mystery you know what you're doing.. and good for you guys.. the only thing I want to say is Sophia you're not as funny as you used to be, I miss that you need to bring back your Scentsy brightness smartness saving us etc etc etc. Maybe it's only because I've not been watching for a while? But good for you guys you guys are starting to kick ass and good for you guys. As an experienced crew, I would now feel comfortable crewing with you guys wherever you wanted to go. I think you've got it figured out. Good for you guys.. having said all that I love you guys and I wish you the best. SV knotshore
😊👍👍❤
Geese almost missed the button….. Happy time’s…..
why is the uscg searching you when you're in bermuda waters? nm, you answered pierre earlier.
They didn't quite "search" us. At one point, I asked if he wanted our suction cup to open the floorboard, and he told me that he wasn't actually allowed anything more than a visual inspection. Which... if they were looking for drugs, wouldn't have gotten them very far :( He told me that they were "satisfied we didn't have any drugs onboard", which we don't ever, but I wonder how they could be sure! In any case, they were lovely :)
Would u have waited til the morning otherwise and just floated to get the prop fixed
It’s not really great, as the boat REALLY rolls when it doesn’t move forward. Besides, the seas could have picked up and render the operation a lot riskier. So this was the better call.
😘💯🖖... ✨❤✨Francis!
Francis was going strong :p
Wen Polar Seal 2.0???
so do you sailing youtubers all talk to each other to all meetup at the same location or was it a coincidence that Zingaro and Project Atticus were also in Bermuda at the same time.
We do talk to each other, but we meet mostly randomly because... it just happens. And it's always a great time! I miss James
@@RyanSophieSailing Did you purposefully decide to go to Bermuda because other Sailing RUclipsrs were going there? Looking forward to the next video, I follow all you guys.
@@Mardagan88 no, we always wanted to sail to Nova Scotia from the Caribbean, and we love Bermuda :) we rarely plan our sailing around meeting friends, though we always find friends where we sail 😊
put some wasai in the mashed potato!
Why USCG boarding non US vessel off Bermuda?
BTW Ryan that wasn't a rhetorical question. Explain pls to show the trouble I would have been in by telling them no thank you
Is it weird that you were inspected by the USGG before landing at a British territory?
The US coast guard has an agreement with Bermuda, they help them at the boarder I believe. They were super friendly! :)
@@RyanSophieSailing Thanks for the reply!! Follow up. On your solo across the Atlantic, how would you have dealt with a fishing net around your prop?
So why did the Coast Guard board?
I think they were training honestly :) it’s not like we we are a suspicious boat 😅
@@RyanSophieSailing The bird was a spy. It probably reported back to them that you may have been smuggling Snickers mousse, Swedish meatballs, and truffle oil. ;) It's great to see you guys out on the water again! Thanks for taking us with you!
Where is your dinghy at this trip?
Deflated and stowed away :) that’s the advantage of our dinghy, it packs up really light
Avian visitors: I confess that I rigged a platform so that oceanic sea birds could 'land on' with confidence. Passerines happily just grab a guard rail. Best experience was an exhausted common swallow who hitched a lift off the southern coast of Devon, England on its final leg from the Cape, South Africa.
Why does nobody carry a helmet, but everybody eventually dives their boat at night in a chop and worries about their noggin?
Not the first
But always appreciated 🥰
It's a good thing you got rid of the bird. The USCG frowns on smuggling foreign wildlife. And stuffing them with mashed potatoes with truffles and chocolate bread... Dang, I'm getting hungry...
Hahaha! Francis eventually left us after sailing about 600nm onboard. Ryan was getting tired of the poop on the panels :p (can't blame him...)
Why was the US Coast Guard boarding you. isn't Bermuda a British Colony?
:-)
Yo, the dude seems like a crabby pants. You can see him change when he sees the camera on him.
if it's so miserable, why would you go out of your way to live on a boat? it seems like the costs don't outweigh the benefits
2 months behind, im out.
In all fairness, I could also have cut the part when I say when this takes place, and no one would have been the wiser 🤷🏻♀️😊
Wow that Ryan can be a real jerk. You're sick and hungry and he tells you to wait a minute .
Brian why would she even consider the bird is an equation? You understand the bird can just swim in the water and can actually sleep in the water? Please don't ever endanger yourself with reefing in regards to the consideration of a bird it's just bad salmanship. If you're afraid the bird may get caught in the rigging to scare the bird off the boat then douse your reefs. Sorry guys love you guys take care be safe
I'm not sure that that's a seagull I think it's probably a booby and the first place is going to want to land is at the top your Mast which will destroy and tear up all your wind vane information your anemometers you don't know how fast the wind is it's just a bad bad habit to let these birds order and hang around on your boat it's just bad I'm sorry. I'm speaking from over a hundred thousand miles of sailing you don't want these birds on your boat. So good luck guys love you guys take care be safe
I presume only that you refer to Francis as the bird that is spending all of its days and nights sitting on your deck? I guess if you like cleaning up that type of crap you would permit it. That bird is fully capable of bobbing around in the ocean like it has done for tens of thousands of years why you would let it just sit on your deck I don't get it. It's not even good luck thanks love you guys take care be safe get the birds off your deck unless you like cleaning up that type of crap
