I’m in land locked Alberta,Canada and we love Ship Happens. Love our west coast and the Pacific Northwest and will never forget my first joy with sea sickness.
I can still remember my first trip away to sea which was 51 years ago. We sailed from Rotterdam, to Sweden. Then from Sweden to the Persian Gulf and if you remember the Suez Canal was closed then so it was all around Africa. Yes had my sea legs before crossing the dreaded Bay of Biscay. Good one Gemma thats a trip you will never forget for the rest of your life.
As a kid my father worked in construction and was posted to The Gold Coast on 18 month stays, back to UK for 3 months and out again. Mum my sister and I went with him on one trip, sailing from Liverpool to Takoradi W. Africa 1950, though only 5 years old I do remember parts of the trip. We flew back on BOAC a four prop plane and had to refuel in Tripoli and Rome, landing in Heathrow that only had RAF buildings. In 1995 I bough a 1930s boat built in Castleford and spent three weeks taking her home from the Medway where she was based in WWII as a parachute mine patrol boat. We called into Lowestoft on the way up the E Coast mooring on the yacht club jetty's, I've lost count of the times I've moored in Ramsgate. So these videos bring back lots of great memories and your comment did as well, Thanks for that.
Gemma, I am so proud of you.👍❤️ I am also nervous and wobbly at heights, so I was inspired by your courage in climbing that rigging all the way to the top. The amazing views and feeling of absolute accomplishment were your rewards. Well done! I also want to compliment you on a content-rich and well-edited episode. You really captured what this experience is like and included the less glamorous bits as well (e.g. seasickness) which are a realistic part of the journey.
Wow what an amazing trip, not just for you but for everyone involved. Really hope Dave comes to visit you and Sarinda and we see him again. So brave up that rigging too Gemma... pirate hats off to you!
Well, that was epic. What an adventure. What an amazing video. You captured the spirit and emotion of the trip perfectly. It kept getting better and better right up to the last (like and subscribe!) scene.
5 tall ships came to Cleveland Ohio a few years ago. They allowed us to tour the ships while they were docked. Their crew were doing the same thing around Lake Erie. So cool. Good job Gemma.
Great vid Gemma, brought back a lot of happy memories sailing around Gib. I imagine you found the whole experience very enlightening and gave you a taste of what you can expect once all the work on Sarinda is done and you can at last set sail. Eyes on the prize.
What a wonderful experience for you, well done. I noticed how much Lowestoft has changed since I used to sail in and out of there. You will soon be growing your web feet, best wishes.
Makes you realise how much effort it was to sail in the days before motor power, the time and skill it took to get in port, thank heavens for all the aids and equipment they have now.
well done Gemma, enjoyed the video for different reasons, Having fitted out a 40 ' yacht, with my wife and sailed the east coast of Austrlia from Tasmania to Thursday Island , with chronic sea sickness, ending up in hospital for a week in Sydney, still carried on ! I built a model of a Baltic trader 'lilla Dan ' and to finally see one sailing was a joy, been following your 'hobby' from the start keep up the pace , you make my Saturday mornings each week tregards tone
That was awesome Gemma. Makes me wish I was young enough to go. Considering it was the North Sea you were really lucky. I was on a ferry from Harwich to Bremerhaven in the late 70's in November and the sea was awful and we had only one engine. 23 hours. I was ill! However, it was great to see the rigs at night all lit up. When we went to Belfast from Liverpool (again winter) again rough crossing but I took my pill and was out for the count that time! Good on you climbing the rigging and getting to the top, I don't have a head for heights but I love flying...go figure? Well done!!
Fantastic vlog Jemma the trip of a lifetime. Good for you something to be proud of to go up the rigging and out on the bowsprit Proud of you , glad you got your sea legs that made the rest of the trip much better, Looking out for the next vlog. Ed 40 s of Vegas xxxx
Hi what a great experience I actually sailed on The Malcolm Miller tall ship in the 70's we sailedfrom Newhaven to Cherbourg to East Anglia first leg we were all heaving as it was a force 7 gale so could not get to the channel isles. So glad you enjoyed the time try a square rig next time and go out on the spares as night in good wind
looks like you had a bunch of fun, I would love to do something like that, we don't have that option in Canada very often, that I'm aware of, I should look into it.
I enjoyed this episode very very much. In Camden, Maine, USA they have a group of sailboats that are in the Maine Windjammer Association. Included in that fleet is Schooner Lewis R. French, which is 151 years old this year. We have sailed on her twice. It does not have an engine onboard (it does have a small boat with a small diesel engine, a push trawl/tug that can push it when it is becalmed). They sail in Penobscot Bay, which is protected by some barrier islands, so it is relatively calm sailing. We did have a day or two where people prone to seasickness had issues; but, my wife and I never did. We only sailed during the day, so staying on deck, and looking out at the horizon I found helpful. In your video though you had some rolling seas that we did not experience to that degree, you had much more rolling side to side, it was like you were in a washing machine. Plus sailing in the dark I am sure added to the propensity for one to get seasick. It is definitely a fun experience.
WHAT a GREAT experience! One of my Bucket List items is to get to Halifax (Nova Scotia) and go aboard the Schooner Bluenose II - a Canadian Icon (It's even on our dimes!). Sorry to hear about your seasickness - Both Ginger and mint are good to help settle your stomach. I always keep a little Candied Ginger around for when my stomach is upset. Probably a great plan for the kids when you get sailing on Sarinda! The Navigation lessons will probably be Invaluable, too!
Best tip when suffering sea sickness, stay on deck, eat dry toast, drink plenty of water and repeat until the sickness stops and the toast stays down. Nothing wrong with being sick over the side as the fish will eat it. During this process imagine a ship rocking up and down in your mind and it helps the brain understand. The main cause of sea sickness is your brain picking up movement via your ears but your eyes not seeing that movement. A great video and a route i have taken many times. I've taken 8 hour watch duties up that coast on the M.V Argo-G one of the last coasters that once filled the horizon. Bulk carriers and container ships killed the coasting industry which employed thousands of merchant seaman. I hope to see Sarinda doing a tour around the British Isles once she is restored. 👍
So, so good, all of it Gemma. You look 10 years younger at the end. Sarinda will make the high seas I have no doubt and in less time than you predicted.
Hi, Gemma loved watching your journey on the tall ship and your Ship Happens videos. Interesting you talking about Sirinda being once called Valient, my Grandfather was on HMS Valient during World war 1 and at the battle of Jutland thankfully he survived otherwise I wouldn't be here.
Well done Gemma that trip must have been amazing. Loved the vidio. In 1969 we boarded an 50,000 ton ship to Panama. We all were sea sick going thru the bay of Biscay end of Oct. But like you it past quickly. Good for you.
I hate sea sickness. The head goes hot and your sweat glands in your mouth works overtime, saliva builds up in your mouth. Then all of a sudden you can see again what you had for breakfast 😂 Don’t envy you there 😂 👍👍 A colleague of mine had been seasick for the whole voyage, he spent his trip lying on his bunk. Even when we took the jolly boat ashore in the bay. He was still vomiting. The captain suggested to him to find a shore job.
Great episode Jemma and great to see you enjoying sailing and being out on the water for a proper voyage. Did I spy Mark from Halcyon yacht deliveries, he does some very enjoyable short videos of various yacht deliveries. Very knowledgeable skipper and I'm sure you learned a lot.
you missed out at lowestoft. about 100 yards away from where you were docked they were rebuilding an MTB, though they may have finished by now. i lived there 12 years ago and that bascule bridge was a pain
What a great experience !! Well done you x Before I watched this video I was just thinking why doesn't Simon go on these great adventures .... now I see why lol
Nice goin Gem, you wont havta do that on Sarinda, but, back in the day, there was no rope to pull you up if you slipped. Nice, thanks m8, you all stay safe and well.
I know how you feel. I had the opportunity to do a 3 hour cruise on a tall ship. Opportunity of a life time. As soon as we left the heads I was preying for the 3 hours cruise to turn into a 3 minutes minute cruise.
I’m sure I saw you in a rowing boat in Ramsgate harbour last Friday afternoon and was about to shout out but thought it can’t be! As I was just finishing my power boat course I carried on with my berthing assessment. Keep up the good work, followed you from the start.
A young friend of mine had a really bad first crossing of the Atlantic - to the point of nearly being flown home. Since then, no bother at all. So there's hope for you yet
Sea sickness yep been there North Sea crossing from Aberdeen to Lerwick on the St Clair in the 80s berthed at the back of the ship near the top deck next to the aft stair well which went right to the cargo deck where the fish wagons were… maximin move the stinking of rotten fish… … best place was I found the centre of gravity down on the lower decks half way across the beam and about half way along the length of the ship and lay on my back, minimum movement and I was good.. never been so sick it’s horrible isn’t it hope you’re sea legs kicked in quick xx
SEA I told you. You won't be the same person after sailing on a tall ship.. Me the 1812 reproduction war ship the Lynx. And you a true blue old timer Willam's II. Changed forever.. Good job on your film.. :-)
If you wanted some real "fun" you go up the ratlines but down the backstay.... all without a harness. Then you get the "genuine" experience of an Olde Timey sailor. It's funny how many people's frame of reference for sailing is what they've "learned" from Pirates of the Caribbean. Master and Commander is a better reference point. That was pretty awesome seeing Valiant and her relationship to Sarinda. The sweeps (oars) on that dinghy need to be longer by a foot or more. Yeah I'm nit-picking lol.
Well done Gemma! I would love to have a go at sailing a tall ship! Perhaps one day, Lord willing. So when does Simon get to go and have some fun?😉 Anchors ⚓ aweigh, ma'am!
It looks like your ship could do with a few more crew to haul on the lines when needed. They should consider doing what the Royal Navy used to do. Send out the press gang to round up a few drunken sailors staggering out of the local seaport Grog Shops. Check with the local constabulary and I am sure they would pick up a few volunteers. Nothing is more motivated than a poacher or smuggler offered a choice of prison or the adventure of a life at sea.
What an awesome week, you looked like you died and went to heaven😁 Can't wait until you guys are filming your voyages at sea. Thanks for the great Vid.

Bay of Biscay. known as the "Tin of Biscuits".
As a kid my father worked in construction and was posted to The Gold Coast on 18 month stays, back to UK for 3 months and out again. Mum my sister and I went with him on one trip, sailing from Liverpool to Takoradi W. Africa 1950, though only 5 years old I do remember parts of the trip.

What an experience. So many skills learnt and the fun you had. An adventure of a lifetime as you said.
I don’t think I have ever smiled so much during a RUclips video. Thank you, I am glad you had such a wonderful time and shared it with the rest of us.

You just took me back 40 years. I was in the Navy. I SOOO miss the ocean. Just watching this video, makes me feel great again. Thank you ❤️❤️
I'm happy for you Gemma, a first sail offshore is a huge milestone.
What a fantastic trip Gemma. What an amazing charity and group of people.
Well, that was epic. What an adventure. What an amazing video. You captured the spirit and emotion of the trip perfectly. It kept getting better and better right up to the last (like and subscribe!) scene.

Hello from America Jemma. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with "us". You and your family are beautiful people.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed this enormously.
Well, that was exciting! Having owned a gaff rigged sailboat, it brought back a lot of wonderful memories! Gracias!

Well done getting out on a proper sailboat,bet you'll love to stay onboard for the full journey.

What an experience, and I'm sure it will stand you in good stead with your own boat once it's launched!
Howdy Gemma and what fantastic experience. Great vlog and see you next week. Cheers Keith Melbourne Australia.
Glad you enjoyed it!
WHAT A FANTASTIC PROGRAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your smile says it all.
wonderful time wonderful memories ❤️
I love your channel even though I have restored and sail on my gaffer so this was a treat and I could feel your excitement. Bravo!
Not easy in those rolling conditions Gemma, hard work but very rewarding.
Your becoming a proper Swabbie! Love Ya!!
So, so good, all of it Gemma. You look 10 years younger at the end. Sarinda will make the high seas I have no doubt and in less time than you predicted.

Awesome 👌
Thanks for sharing 👍 🙂
This has to be my favourite episode on your channel so far
СПАСИБО, ДЖЕММА !!!
Making me go green just watching the beautiful boat rolling about.. lol xx
I agree. I didn't know it was possible to feel seasick from the comfort of my couch!🤢
Well done Gemma that trip must have been amazing. Loved the vidio. In 1969 we boarded an 50,000 ton ship to Panama. We all were sea sick going thru the bay of Biscay end of Oct. But like you it past quickly. Good for you.

Nelson was seasick every time he sailed Gemma - you are in good company!
Looking forward to how you felt when stepping on land after the voyage.
What a great experience !! Well done you x

Nice goin Gem, you wont havta do that on Sarinda, but, back in the day, there was no rope to pull you up if you slipped. Nice, thanks m8, you all stay safe and well.
What fun that must have been. Heck, it was fun just to watch.
Best regards from Indiana, USA.
That looked like a helluva lotta fun! I’ve been seasick, nothing worse! 🇦🇺🍺🍺

Oh i would love to have a sail like that!
👏 absolutely well done...
Sea sickness is a transition from one life to another...☠️
Brings back memories of sailing on a schooner around the Bahamas (almost 25 years ago) on a 'High Adventure' Boy Scout trip.
Wow that’s wonderful to be part of a crew and to sail a old ship, old school way, Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
Wonderful ship but there is no way I could have climbed that mast. Congratulations on a wonderful trip.
That looks great
Gemma, you deserved it! 👍👍👍👍😄
LOVED IT!
Wow that’s really brave climbing to the top of the mast at sea
A young friend of mine had a really bad first crossing of the Atlantic - to the point of nearly being flown home. Since then, no bother at all.
So there's hope for you yet
Sea sickness yep been there North Sea crossing from Aberdeen to Lerwick on the St Clair in the 80s berthed at the back of the ship near the top deck next to the aft stair well which went right to the cargo deck where the fish wagons were… maximin move the stinking of rotten fish… … best place was I found the centre of gravity down on the lower decks half way across the beam and about half way along the length of the ship and lay on my back, minimum movement and I was good.. never been so sick it’s horrible isn’t it hope you’re sea legs kicked in quick xx
Looks like fun.
It was an amazing week, I didn't want it to end! And everyone onboard were awesome!
@@ShipHappensUK I would love to do something like that. I'm glad you had such a great time. And thanks for bringing us along!
I know that grin! Wearing it myself surfing down a wave with a tailwind and doing 11 knots in my 28’ Vega.
12/07/2022 Hello Ship. Too cool. What a chance. I can see your happy showing. Don usa
You lucky person, Gemma, to experience that. Not for me, though - I had nine years in the R.N. and I know the sea is cold and wet!
So, does this mean Gemma has overcome her fear of heights? It's really great to see her being adventurous!
I have a fear of falling, I did overcome a lot on this trip, but I knew the crew had my back!
Good old greasy bacon and eggs for breakfast, good cure. The sprit net was a sleeping place for the crew when crossing the tropics
SEA I told you. You won't be the same person after sailing on a tall ship.. Me the 1812 reproduction war ship the Lynx. And you a true blue old timer Willam's II. Changed forever.. Good job on your film.. :-)
If you wanted some real "fun" you go up the ratlines but down the backstay.... all without a harness. Then you get the "genuine" experience of an Olde Timey sailor.
It's funny how many people's frame of reference for sailing is what they've "learned" from Pirates of the Caribbean. Master and Commander is a better reference point.
That was pretty awesome seeing Valiant and her relationship to Sarinda.
The sweeps (oars) on that dinghy need to be longer by a foot or more.
Yeah I'm nit-picking lol.
Great video Ty ALOHA
Gemma is a salty sailor now you go girl
Brilliant
As someone who's been sick on the Isle of Man Ferry I think I'll pass! Great video!
So now that your rebuilding your ship, you now can see clearly how ready there ship is!
Gemma, I think you did well. The first 24 hrs of a voyage can be rough even on seasoned mariners sometimes.
Nice place i got my fishing boat from blyth a berry of weymouth boat, glad you
got your sea legs some people dont
That was great Gemma, well done. Climbing those rattlings was really brave. Is the ship coming to Liverpool on its circumnavigation of the UK?
It will stop in Holyhead on 4th June, then onto Oban, not sure if it'd calling at Any ports on the way
Nice boat
Well done Gemma! I would love to have a go at sailing a tall ship! Perhaps one day, Lord willing. So when does Simon get to go and have some fun?😉 Anchors ⚓ aweigh, ma'am!
Highly recommend it, it's a life changing experience
@@ShipHappensUK it most certainly looks like it.👍
I live in lowestoft and missed you 😂😂😂
It looks like your ship could do with a few more crew to haul on the lines when needed.
They should consider doing what the Royal Navy used to do. Send out the press gang
to round up a few drunken sailors staggering out of the local seaport Grog Shops. Check
with the local constabulary and I am sure they would pick up a few volunteers. Nothing is more motivated
than a poacher or smuggler offered a choice of prison or the adventure of a life at sea.
What an awesome week, you looked like you died and went to heaven😁 Can't wait until you guys are filming your voyages at sea. Thanks for the great Vid.
It was a fantastic week! Loved it all x
Well done there Gem Simon needs to sign you on to that ship for 3 months or so and turn you into a real sailor lol
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
