Epic Solo SAILING Through ICEBERGs In Patagonia [Ep. 131]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 ноя 2023
- Dangerous truck-sized icebergs find themselves littering the channel that was initially clear when we left the anchorage. How will we handle these floating obstructions? Watch us solo sail and film this unforgettable passage!
Curtis sails single-handed on the 46 foot sailboat, sailing upwind as he tacks through and around the chunks of ice, while Kate grabs the video and still cameras, launches the inflatable RIB and zooms through the icy cold water on a dangerous mission to capture this epic once in a lifetime footage.
Now grab a coffee and enjoy a sailing video that we had lots of fun making. Click subscribe and come along with the yacht Sailing Sweet Ruca for this awesome around the world sailing adventure with us!

Tx so much for bringing me with you! The dolphins never cease to amaze me
Epic
Agreed :)
You've outdone yourselves with this beautiful video!! Cheers!!

VOTE FOR DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM. VOTE BLUE.
💙🇺🇸💙👍😇
great editing beautiful scenery, Looking forward to next video
Excelente
Great vid this week kids...amazing ....looked like so much fun
The coolest sailing episode of all time.
We love a good pun :)
yeah, sailing through the iceberg obstacle course is the best sailing video I ever seen. thank you.
The editing of this video is top notch Theater quality. Almost magical and the once in a lifetime enthusiasm from you all doing this is something fun to watch. Really can't thank you all enough for bringing it to us. Best sailing channel on RUclips hands down. Keep having fun, stay warm and stay safe. Bill
Completely agree, stunning footage and editing
Try these sailing channels as well...the GOAT of sailing SV Delos, Parlay Revival, WE Sail
I have watched those before I found Sailing Sweet Ruca. They are nice as well but, in my opinion, Sailing Sweet Ruca is the best on RUclips. The others, to me, were mostly about having some drinks, go skinny dipping and move to the next location. Don't get me wrong. They are all adults and can do as they please and it was entertaining to watch. As a non-sailor I was looking for a sailing channel to learn about sailing. Kate and Curtis seem very humble and are easy to make friends with. Kate is a beautiful young lady. Curtis seems happy go lucky. They both explain what they are doing and why they do it. Good communication between them and both have a great work ethic. Plus, they have Roxy who is friendly with everyone she meets. So again. Sailing Sweet Ruca for me is the best sailing channel on RUclips.@@Ninja_Sloth
Good on you guys! Great vid!1
Kate the dinghy master! Awesome shots, girl. Truly unique sailing, Curtis. Thanks sooo much for sharing ..
so beautiful. I kept thinking while watching how blessed you 2 are and I'm not religious at all. amazing scenery and photography.
Scenery was epic. Thanks for bringing us along
Just fantastic. I will likely watch this one again.
Awesome! Thank you so much!
So now we can really see what going around the horn is truly a lot of work and amazing all in one ! As Curtis said the best sail her has ever done ! WOW ! Thank you!
Thanks
Thats some crazy stuff guys...👏👏👏
Definitely high heart rate!
One of your best👍👍
Breathtaking views.. looks like a lot of cool fun.
Reminds me of a certain video of a Tartan 30 sailing on Lake Michigan during stormy weather - remember, Curtis?
I would hitch a ride on Tartan 10s for beer can races in Chicago in the 1990s, and storms would occasionally come out of nowhere. Fun times.
It's simply beautifull, thanks from the Netherlands.
Thanks for persueing your dreams and sharing
You two are outstanding. By far the best RUclips sailing channel!
Try these as well. SV Delos, Parlay Revival, WE Sail
@@Ninja_Sloth I don't know about the others but delos is a floating hippie commune.
SPECTACULAR!
Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful ,awesome, amazing, gave us goosebumps! You guys did a amazing job,getting through the Glaciers, and Kate going out on dingy,getting those pics was a great idea! Again Bad Asses!😊❤
Again, I still can't figure out why you only have 35 k subscribers when you guys show the true beauty of sailing in the off grid!!
can I JUST SAY YOU SAILORS ARE AWESOME! CHEERS FINNSTER
I love this video. It looks like the dolphins are showing you which way to go and they wanted to play. Icebergs looked cool too. Great job can't wait to see what comes next
15:40 ........ Such a pretty series of shots. Very nice!!!
LOVE your adventure!!!
Great video, I especially liked Kate's clips from the dinghy. You guys are on some adventure, thanks for taking me along.
Wonderful episode with the editing and camera at another level! And gotta love your new thumbnail navigator.
Epic !
Agreed!
Another sailing channel is whining about their new million dollar cat.
And yet every week you guys are doing something glorious. 😂
Keep crushing it!
Haha glad you are enjoying :)
Great adventure, very inspiring!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Truly THE BEST…at 20 minutes the golden hues along with dolphins….AMAZING! 🇨🇦 ❤
The same pod of dolphins or a different pod? Beautiful!!
Beautiful!
Wow, a fabulous episode. You two must be having the time of your lives in that spectacular wilderness. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
It is really a magical place. We are excited to show you more!
@@SailingSweetRuca
I have to say the J46 looks like she's performing superbly as a (fast) cruising boat. Has she exceeded your expectations?
Dodging ice, besides the beauty of it all, another reason to put a watch station high in the rigging. Loved that video!!
Magnificent!! I don’t know how, but you keep topping yourself. Thank you both for bringing us “along for the ride.”
Wow, those ice blocks could have been a deal breaker...😮
Oh yeahhhh......
Wow what a difference sun and clear skies make. Stunningly beautiful. Thanks for sharing places I wouldn't otherwise see
Good Job Kate. The videos were fantastic.
Wow. Sailors could learn a lot from methological sailing. Here Here
Your new thumbnail is epic love your sense of humor.
Haha! Awesome! We are glad to hear you are enjoying it as much as we are :-)
Lol, I’ve been looking for some footage that I could set truly cinematic music to without it feeling like a mismatch, and you nailed it. That space and day looked frickin’ amazing!!!
Thanks for the nice comment! Glad you enjoyed :)
My goodness that is so gorgeous.
Bikini selfie on an iceberg! NOBODY has one of those. Sweet shots of sailin in the ice! gotta love a BW cruiser that can move in light air.
Kate did actually stand on an iceberg, and we have a photo of it. Not in a bikini though :-) We are thinking of replacing Curtis with the AI crew, she is really outperforming his mug in the A/B click through tests! I wonder why?
Wow.. this is once in a lifetime stuff !!!!!!
Awesome!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
😀👍👍👍❤Beautiful video of Ruca with the icebergs. Good job Kate. Thanks to you both. Bye from Seattle, WA.
Wow. Well done you two. I'm so jealous
I've always called the Pacific porpoise the speedsters of the sea!
They stayed with us for over an hour!
Epic episode. Awesome photography . Thanks
Beautiful video thanks
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing!!!!! Simply beautiful. Well done guys! Well done!!! 🫶🏻
Some of your best footage ever. Fantastic views.
OMG 😱 WOW ‼️ Totally a fabulous episode guys ‼️ 🎉 💕 You were even able to sned a layer. Praise God for the sun. See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ ❄️ 🌞 ✨
Pasaron o van a pasar a la isla Kent?
Laguna San Rafael. Lugar bello igual
Thanks for sharing your adventure with us. Its wonderful seeing the smiles and joy on your faces. I think I even saw Trixie smile a few times. Your videos are pro level! Y'all are amazing.
Been there done that but the Latitude had an N after the number string! It’s burgy bits as they call them in Canada, not easy sailing , too small to show up on radar so a sharp watch is required. Frightening if you get a sea way running white horses make them even more difficult to spot. I got a chuckle when you broke out the scout dinghy to pilot you , we have done this too with radio and a handheld GPS to find a clear path.
I really enjoy following along , it’s a beautiful trip well sailed !
One of the best yet. I have started watching your videos from the beginning and it is great to see how much you have improved over time. Keep them coming 😊
Very cool and,,,,,,,,,, VERY, VERY KOOL sailing,
Cool in so many ways!
Oh jeeeeeez, that photo shopped thumbnail is so silly. I almost rolled out of my chair laughing.
Excellent! That is exactly what we were going for :-)
Unbelievable never forget
AAAAAAAAWWWWWSOME !!!! WHAT A TREAT !!!🤩👍👍👍☮☮☮Just fantastic footage !!! Hope you STUFFED your freezer with ice . What an exiting day, BRAVO !!! THANK YOU BOTH, from British Columbia, Canada
Hello to our northerly neighbor! Thanks for watching!
What a perfect combination! Another beautiful leg of this epic journey! It could NOT have worked out better!
Thanks Brian! This was a special one for sure!
好漂亮的风景，好美好的经历。
Great video and you look so happy Curtis; great team .take it away with you where ever you go in life
Absolutely incredible journey. Memories for a lifetime.
I need a blanket to watch the video
Haha, right on!
Just think, someday the only ice you will be concerned with will be in your cocktail, and which sunhat you will wear.....
Haha an interesting thought at this time in the cold!
Yeah that thumbnail got our attention!
Tis the idea! haha!
Watching those two Dolphins keep you company made me think, where you are sailing is so remote so infrequently traveled, they seemed lonely and yearning for some playmates and acted as though they were happy you were there.
Wow!!! Scrumptious episode. Absolutely fantastic. Congrats y’all. Can’t find words to describe it. Thanks for sharing all that with us. 👏🏻
Great comment! That's a new one! :D
just crazy!!!!!!!
I so want to fix your main sheet. All you have to do is leave it in the block on the boom, switch port side to stb, the stb to port no more twist. It shows especially when there is no pressure on the main sheet. Also, love your videos, would love to hear more on how and why you guys choose your anchorages
Thanks for the great feedback on all accounts! Planning to include some more technical blogs as well :)
@@SailingSweetRuca that would be really cool. I love you guys are doing your own thing and not following all the RUclipsrs like everyone else. Great stories of adventure.
Inspiring
Glad you enjoyed!
Great video, looks a bit warmer, nice filming, Go Sweet Ruca
😊
Brilliant opening to your vid - loved nature's sound effects as well! I honestly don't know how you can leave some of those glorious wee anchorages.
We agree! We could spend years down here!
Wow, just breathtaking footage. Thank you for sharing this wonderful sail!
Another fantastic episode guys, you really are living the dream. You work so well together together, Curtis`s experience of seamanship and Kates zest for life and photography is fantastic to sea, (see lol). Fair winds and following seas
Wow! How beautiful that it is. Very special.
We are glad you liked it Larry :-)
I’m enjoying the videos. I did this route from the north and spent a few days in Puerto Eden. So amazing there. I do not envy you going north through Gulpho de Peña, that will be interesting sailing.
Freaking Wow you guys!! Absolutely incredible video, audio & music!!👍👍👍👍
Another superb video! I envy you a lot because you are visiting a magnificent region: you are very lucky, keep going!
Thank you very much!
