I'm in my early 70s, and spent most of my working life in various parts of technology industries. I keep looking at your videos and marvelling at how fast the world has changed. Only in my grandfather's day, people who wanted to see the world would get a boat, just like you two did, work on it, get it ready for sea, just like you two did, and there the similarity would end. They would wave goodbye to their family and head out to sea. Their family would not hear from them until they reached the other side of the passage and could send mail. Or maybe they wouldn't hear from them at all. If the voyage went pear-shaped no one would know what happened to them, except they didnt arrive in Capetown or whever they were pointed. Now here you are, asking for technical help with your autopilot from thousands of people watching every day. It's amazing to me. and Exciting. Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us.
When most people watch something by themselves they normally don't physically show emotion, but when I watch your videos, I find myself smiling and i don't know how many people and exes say im emotionless. All three of you are awesome. Love the new stowaway you have aboard for this passage. Keep rockin
I think it's the sound that also makes this so immersive. It's super calming and nice not having any fast cuts and music in any of this and actually just being with you all. The sound of the waves, the quiet between conversation. It makes it feel so much more real for a viewer. Just fantastic and thanks so much for the hard work going into these ❤
My husband, Jim, said to tell you he has used cooking oil in logging hydraulics before. Also, just a reminder that hydraulic fluid can catch fire. Oil in bottom of outboards will work, Take screw out and drain it. Love your videos. We are in Kettle Falls, Washington State.
I’ve seen plenty of industrial hydraulics that use vegetable oil (specifically peanut oil) as sop. Don’t want anything too thick. Engine oil would be fine as well.
Brett you can use engine oil mate. Only use as much as you need and when you get to land just empty out the reservoir and replace the oil. It won’t hurt the system short term. Hope that helps stay safe guys
As the past Head of the GM Engineering Library, and contract Librarian at the US EPA National Vehicle and Fuels Emissions Laborarory Library, Brett, you want an incompressible oil that is as close in viscosity to the normally specified hydraulic oil specified for the system. Understand? Pilot you! Oil. Same SAE Spec as possible. Keep a close eye on that system. Monitor it regularly. ;-) Automatic Transmission FLUID is hydraulic fluid. Transmission OIL is lubrication oil. Hydraulic to hydraulic mix is likely the best mix.
@@DBartWesti forgot to add in to my comment about hand tighten the hydraulic pump..being it turn to tighten up which means it probably used a strap wrench for that, you can use a belt or serpentine belt you have by just wrapping around the cylinder, put pressure on it and use that to get a bit more turns to tighten the cylinder seal up. Don't go overboard to where you might crush or dent it. We don't know how thick it is. See ya on the next airing.❤
@@DBartWest It is common practice in mining industry to not use hydraulic oil (expensive) but use engine oil SAE 10, SAE 20 or SAE 30 with the lowest API rating
Good for Jade calling out the lack of life jacket, it is vital that no one ever feels uncomfortable doing so. It is easy to overlook, rush or just not have full awareness of your own actions and it would only takes a misstep and the consequences are serious.
I love you guys. You always make me smile and laugh. I'm a hydraulic mechanic with 25 years of experience. I'd recommend engine oil first, then whatever oil after that, starting with the thinnest first. DO NOT USE DIESEL! It will ruin the seals in the system. They're not meant for diesel or gas. I laughed so hard when Bret said he uses hydraulic oil to moisturize his skin. As I said, I was a hydraulic mechanic for 25 years. I also love to dance. On several occasions, I had women tell me that I had the softest hands of any man they had ever met. They would undoubtedly ask what I used to keep my hands so soft, especially being a mechanic. I would laugh and tell them, "I use hydraulic oil!", to their shock. They always thought I was just joking but I really wasn't. Spending 7+hours soaked in hydraulic oil will make your hands soft. However it probably isn't really good for you. Lol Well please stay safe out there. I'd like to meet you guys if you ever make it to the Texas coast.
Engine oil or transmission fluid is your best bet If you REALLY need to top it off. (gear oil will work but is much harder to clean out of the system and hard on the pump itself) You will need to flush it clean when you get a chance but it will get you to where you need to go. As a reference I have 25 yr's as marine engineer under my belt working in the Pacific ocean and Bering sea.
I wouldn’t try vegetable oil, it has a much lower flash point and can start fire if the pump is getting hot, I agree with @revtoyota a transmission fluid would probably be your closest substitute
Maybe marine hydraulic oil is different. If you combine R&O 32 or 46 hydraulic oil with ISO 220 or 460 gear oil you are going to make a peanut butter looking emulsion. I have 30+ years in industrial maintenance experience and learned the hard way when I was young and dumb. I topped a gear box off with hydraulic fluid because I though oil was oil.
I am playing catch up on your series. While listening to this recording I was listening to the ocean sounds. Realized it would be amazing to just listen to the sounds of the ocean as you're slicing through the swells. Thank you for your fantastic recording and raw footage.
Truly enjoying these daily crossing videos. Love all the water shots. I am retired on a fixed income; I want to thank you both for sharing all the videos with everyone, and I want to thank your patreons for doing what I can't. Thank you.
We are getting so spoiled with the daily videos! I'm enjoying them so much! Something to look forward to every evening.Thank you for all the effort you are putting into it to post them for us!
What a great escape you three are, always enjoy your videos from the beginning, this is the best time of your lives, enjoy every minute of it. Thanks for sharing, safe travels.
I've been watching your channel since episode 1, when you released it, and instantly knew it would be epic. Every video is excellent but this trip across the Atlantic is truly inspiring. The addition of Aiyana adds so much joy, as well. You couldn't script a better show!
Windvane would be a handy. Also be nice to have a boatwork video of the install. (Assuming there will be some boatwork videos after the crossing for the autopilot and some othermbits and bobs)
here is a compliment - other vloggers sometimes have boat / fibreglassing problems and I and others have suggested they reach out to you - they respond they have and you both have be very helpful the latest being the couple with a loose keel - well done - enjoy the trip - fair winds and ........, etc
You guys are spoiling us big time and I’m loving it! Its going to be hard when we go back to once a week videos! I just can’t believe how calm you weather is! I’m soooo happy for your safe weather! Ayanna is such a crack up! Just love your bubbly happy personality!Jade your skills on that top you made wow! Very impressed! Safe sailing looking forward to the next one!
Loving the daily uploads! The Q&A was a great surprise, I hope the weather continues to play ball, being able to virtually travel across the Atlantic with you is incredible. Loving the dynamic between the three of you, thank you so much for sharing. I have to say Aiyana is gorgeous, she has a really great personality!
Use the fluid that you have with the least viscosity. Hydraulic fluid is usually around a 32 weight so motor oil or transmission fluid will work, especially as a top up fluid.
I so enjoy these crossing videos. I have watched them all multiple times! Thank you for doing them for us and thank you Patreons for making this possible!
brett i admire your resilient nature of fixing things on the fly. im 55yo i would expect nothing less from you being a pilot safe travels and god speed! oh on another note... Has to be the best passage ever with the 2 most beautiful girls ever! ... reminds me of my younger years...
Hey I love watching you guys on the sea it's nice to wake up with nothing around you and to go to bed with nothing around you but water love you guys ❤
Ayanna if possible use 2 ziplock baggies, put one inside the other and fill it with ice, wrap a wash cloth or hand towel around it and apply it to your neck. You can try, acetaminophen, pain relievers, heat and a massage. Twist or wind up a towel and wrap it around your neck for support. I was in an mva & knocked over 1/10 of a mile from the point of impact, major neck damage. Good luck. 👍🙏😎✌️
Hey guys, remember when you were talking about you were disappearing from peoples RUclips channel well, you guys did for the longest time now now, every time I turn on my RUclips you’re there ha ha ha ha ha loving it very entertaining fun, and just a little little bit of learning not enough to give me a headache thank you keep up the good work guys love it
You guys are incredibly mature and knowledgeable. Very impressive. I have no sailing background (aside from sailing merit badge, Bret). But I’m really enjoying the videos! Be safe, and happy travels!!
I don't know anything about sailing or oils but the guy who said contact manufacturer seems to have a really good idea. Also truly love the daily and raw video, and loved today's question and answer! Excited for the rest of the bread instructions. Prepping the rice tomorrow so I am ready!
Absolutely, I like watching "Sailing Parlay Revival" as well, it's not a competition of who is best, we aren't children who cannot get along with more than one friend at a time 🙂
Thank you Bret, and Jade and Aiyana for these wonderful and beautiful videos. They remind me so much of when I was your age. It's such a blessing to live so close and in the midst of nature. Some of us are not able to do that anymore. Thank you so much for bringing it to us. ❤
Love the new videos. The change of videos is amazing. It’s more personal and makes it feel like we’re along for the ride. Makes me work harder on my Catalina Morgan 45. A few more months and it will be ready to travel the ocean. Good luck the rest of the way guys.. y’all are amazing ❤
Loving these videos and get so excited seeing them come out everyday! Aiyana is such a great addition to the team-so positive and I love the marine biology facts!!
So I’m normally not one to comment but I have to say how much I love your new format of videos. You both are so amazing and inspiring, Aiyana too. Sorry if I butchered the spelling.😂. Be safe and keep up the amazing work.
To help with the stiff neck, rotate between ice & heat. Stretching will help a lot too, as well as trigger point massage. Which is basically finding the knot & pressing on it until it releases. Doesn’t feel the greatest in the moment but worth it.
Thank you guys for being my escape. I am traveling the world and learning how through your eyes. Of all of the truly amazing experiences you have shared, the best by far is the playful and loving relationship you two share. I love the Evans vibe. Aiyana is such a beautiful spirit. Her style and pure inner sunshine is intoxicating. Q&A: What's your top destination location to someday visit, and why? -Brian (Idaho)
I have followed you guys from day one and have enjoyed all of your videos but the last 4 days has been terrific. You could not have picked a more perfect person to go with you than Ayanna. She is so cute and funny. I look forward to the rest of the passage. Be safe.
It's wonderful to watch people make a passage who seem to be resolved to make the best out of the situation and who are patient with how long it might take. Watching your progress is enjoyable! Safe travels ❤️
Love this new raw passage with the 3 or 5 of you ..cant forget fur babies !! This is the best you tube Chanel, every day epic keep the coming we adore you guys xx❤
“Also her watch battery”😂 love it Hey for your next Q&A can you explain your glass cockpit? You likely have a lot of non sailors, a lot of mast sight sailors, and some curious pilots. Hopefully you get a B&G or Garmin sponsorship.
It is a Mutual Benefit!! Good Sailors utilise Intelligence , which makes the difference! As as Experienced Sea + Atlantic Ocean Sailor I Appreciation In Time Knowledge Which B+G have capability! Indeed, I would like to have a B+G Mutual Co Operation agreement ! Which work benefit Us Both! It is MutualCoOperation + Benefit! So B+G reach Out and We May Help Each Other on a Round The World Sailing Adventure!
Hey guys No question just a thought or two. I have been watching your channel since the beginning, love your content. Your dedication to each other, Eva and what you do is always apparent. Your issue with the Auto pilot fluid, another oil you have that could possibly work is cooking oil. In a pinch only.
Been a manager of oil change shops for over 15yrs you can use engine oil or gear oil for the time being just to top it off but flush the system when you arrive and love the daily updates but you should do lives and aynann should stay forever she is awsome
I did my first South Atlantic crossing in 1996. We were also three on board and the watch system used was five watches per 24 hour period . Three 4 hour watches during the night and two 6 hour watches during the day. That gave everybody a 12 hour day time off every 3rd day and always a different night watch period. it worked fine and there was no fatigue or sleep deprivation of any kind. I have done there after 4 more crossings of the North Atlantic under different circumstances and in different boats always with more crew and a different captain every time. It worked as well. my boat was a lot less sophisticated but did up to 186 NM in a 24 hour period. was absolutely fantastic.
Hi guys I’ve been following you since you bought the boat. Always great videos. So I love these videos Love seeing the crystal blue ocean. So my grandfather was a commercial fisherman in England. My father grew up on his boats and at 16 joined the British Navy during WW2 He was a machinist on an aircraft carrier, they got torpedoed by a German U boat and wound up in the Brooklyn ship yard for repairs. While in BY he met my mother and the rest is history. So we always had boats living on Long Island NY. He now owned his own machine shop, 150 employees in 3 shifts. I got my first boat at 13 it was a 13’ 1955 Dual cockpit Chris Craft outboard. At 18 I bought an 18’ Welcraft with a 135 outboard, fast boat At 24 my wife and I bought a 24’ Four Winns Liberator. So my plan was by now in 70 and my wife and I could cruise the world. I envy you guys, I never got the nack of sailing. So I lost my wife in 2021 ( she was only 67) to breast cancer. Back to the boats We always kept them serviced and immaculate as you guys do So your videos and othe sailors keep me connected to the sea. I love the way you three get along, and I did think she was Jades sister but obviously she is Captain Jack Sparrows daughter… lol Take her into the wind… Thanks again Jon Warman
oh my gosh!!!!! sooo soo sooo cheering for you all to keeep having nice weather nice conditions and NICE FORWARD MOOVMENT!!! :) just keep sailihng just keep sailihng just keep saailllllllinnnngggg!! :)
Great format with daily videos at sea. We have used Hydrovane since 1983, continuing to use Hydrovane on our 2023 trans-Atlantic. It will never let you down, and it can act as a spare rudder, using no power.

I’m obsessed with these videos every day. This is epic!!!!!
Same Same!!
Me too!!! And the PredictWind link
@@gra6276 have you downloaded the app? I think their boat is actually listed as SAM.
I think it's the sound that also makes this so immersive. It's super calming and nice not having any fast cuts and music in any of this and actually just being with you all.

@8:00 LOL! wtf were u thinking, no jack, no pfd.
You're killin' me. Those potatoes look awesome,, I want, I want.

Just take a note on your present heading in your compass and make sure the sun is in front of you in the mornings. You cannot miss Europe.
Except that the sun is in the southwest at 40N latitude. They'd miss Europe, I believe.

Agree with transmission fluid. Many steering systems list ATF (automatic transmission fluid) as an acceptable substitute in case of emergencies.
Veg oil mixing with mineral oil doesn't sound a great idea.

The sound of the boat moving through the water is totally mesmerizing, takes me back to the ocean sailing I have done, fabulous episode, thank you!
I was thinking the same thing, the waves had me in a trance.
“Also her watch battery” *smurks* Brett, the Deadpan God Emperor of this episode. What you did there sir, I seen’t it. BRAVO 😂😂😅😅😅😂😂😂

I'm over the rainbow with this one. Fair sails.
love it when the wind floats your dogs ears
What a great escape you three are, always enjoy your videos from the beginning, this is the best time of your lives, enjoy every minute of it. Thanks for sharing, safe travels.

Somewhere over the rainbow ( well done Iona)
Sorry if I have spelt your name right
Windvane would be a handy. Also be nice to have a boatwork video of the install. (Assuming there will be some boatwork videos after the crossing for the autopilot and some othermbits and bobs)
"The sisters" are gorgeously alike, fun to watch, laughter al day, I love them, OsoYolo, Anitgua Guatemala.

Sleep is a pure blessing! 8 hours 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼.
Use the fluid that you have with the least viscosity. Hydraulic fluid is usually around a 32 weight so motor oil or transmission fluid will work, especially as a top up fluid.
made this trip a few times in the early 70s so far you have had great weather and of course many luxuries a bit jealous lol enjoy
Im 59 and disabled. I'm loving these daily videos. Thanks for bringing me along.
I so enjoy these crossing videos. I have watched them all multiple times! Thank you for doing them for us and thank you Patreons for making this possible!

I love the relaxed feel of the Q&A, it feels like just hanging out with you all!
Everytime I watch you guy all I can think about is your video of the fiberglass repairs what a journey.
I love the raw feeling of this episode. Great job. I hope Aiyanna neck heals soon. Have a safe passage and I love the daily updates.
Love these daily videos. Thank you. We are with you all the way
Hey I love watching you guys on the sea it's nice to wake up with nothing around you and to go to bed with nothing around you but water love you guys ❤
I dream of a transatlantic crossing. I sincerely appreciate you bringing us along.
same!
Very proficient job crocheting. The pattern is concise and consistent. The fabric drape is flattering. Color choice right on your wheel. Great job!
Ayanna if possible use 2 ziplock baggies, put one inside the other and fill it with ice, wrap a wash cloth or hand towel around it and apply it to your neck.

I just checked out your location with the predict wind link, I like the extra commentary you are writing on there! Enjoy your trip!
At 13:41 I'm glad that was just air in the line and not a result of your breakfast cooking....Lol I'm enjoying the ride as usual....
You three are amazing…. Luckily I’ve never lost the view of weekly videos. Please keep up the great work. 🎉😊
GREAT… BEEN WAITING ALL DAY. Thursday evening here in Southern California 5:30 p.m. started my sundowner early with you three. 😊 Great video
Love the new videos. The change of videos is amazing. It’s more personal and makes it feel like we’re along for the ride. Makes me work harder on my Catalina Morgan 45. A few more months and it will be ready to travel the ocean. Good luck the rest of the way guys.. y’all are amazing ❤
Sorry to hear about the autopilot. Watching these videos is the highlight of my day (NOT because of your misfortunes). Thank you so much!

To help with the stiff neck, rotate between ice & heat. Stretching will help a lot too, as well as trigger point massage. Which is basically finding the knot & pressing on it until it releases. Doesn’t feel the greatest in the moment but worth it.
I can’t with jade lol she is just so sweet and adorable lol such a bright soul
Thank you guys for being my escape. I am traveling the world and learning how through your eyes. Of all of the truly amazing experiences you have shared, the best by far is the playful and loving relationship you two share. I love the Evans vibe. Aiyana is such a beautiful spirit. Her style and pure inner sunshine is intoxicating.
Q&A: What's your top destination location to someday visit, and why?
-Brian (Idaho)
If you play somewhere over the rainbow then Jade needs to accompany it by singing it!
Enjoyed the Q & A. Knitting in the middle of the ocean! It's amazing!
Wow, another video… I feel like I am crossing the ocean, thanks so much for sharing! Expedition Evans is the bomb!!!
Just fantastic video. So involved with your Atlantic crossing, I feel sea sick! Lol.
Somewhere over the rainbow! 👍🏻👍🏻
You guys are awesome! I am so looking forward for your next video. Im also checking on your route to see your progress. Please stay safe

Love this new raw passage with the 3 or 5 of you ..cant forget fur babies !! This is the best you tube Chanel, every day epic keep the coming we adore you guys xx❤
“Also her watch battery”😂 love it
Hey for your next Q&A can you explain your glass cockpit? You likely have a lot of non sailors, a lot of mast sight sailors, and some curious pilots.
Hopefully you get a B&G or Garmin sponsorship.
It is a Mutual Benefit!! Good Sailors utilise Intelligence , which makes the difference!
As as Experienced Sea + Atlantic Ocean Sailor I Appreciation In Time Knowledge Which B+G have capability! Indeed, I would like to have a B+G Mutual Co Operation agreement ! Which work benefit Us Both! It is MutualCoOperation + Benefit! So B+G reach Out and We May Help Each Other on a Round The World Sailing Adventure!
The filming of you boat life oozes a calmness that is so pleasant to follow. You are the picture of a groovy life sailing. Stay safe and stay groovy.
Knitting on the boat is very clever. A real savior for long and boring roads.
Beautiful sunset and Somewhere Over The Rainbow sounded nice.
9:00 cast iron pan struggles! (we only use cast ion pans fyi, they are great)
Hey guys
No question just a thought or two. I have been watching your channel since the beginning, love your content. Your dedication to each other, Eva and what you do is always apparent.
Your issue with the Auto pilot fluid, another oil you have that could possibly work is cooking oil. In a pinch only.
I have started watching your channel and I’m so captivated by your videos. I have voted you the best looking sailing channel on RUclips 🙌👍😎
Thank you for making him wear his life jacket!
Been a manager of oil change shops for over 15yrs you can use engine oil or gear oil for the time being just to top it off but flush the system when you arrive and love the daily updates but you should do lives and aynann should stay forever she is awsome
I thought that sailing miles across a vast ocean would be boring but you guys make it into an ongoing adventure, great stuff!
Keep the daily videos coming! Love them!
Thanks for answering my questions I posted - appreciate the effort.
I did my first South Atlantic crossing in 1996. We were also three on board and the watch system used was five watches per 24 hour period . Three 4 hour watches during the night and two 6 hour watches during the day. That gave everybody a 12 hour day time off every 3rd day and always a different night watch period. it worked fine and there was no fatigue or sleep deprivation of any kind. I have done there after 4 more crossings of the North Atlantic under different circumstances and in different boats always with more crew and a different captain every time. It worked as well. my boat was a lot less sophisticated but did up to 186 NM in a 24 hour period. was absolutely fantastic.
Hi guys
I’ve been following you since you bought the boat.
Always great videos.
So I love these videos
Love seeing the crystal blue ocean.
So my grandfather was a commercial fisherman in England.
My father grew up on his boats and at 16 joined the British Navy during WW2
He was a machinist on an aircraft carrier, they got torpedoed by a German U boat and wound up in the Brooklyn ship yard for repairs.
While in BY he met my mother and the rest is history.
So we always had boats living on Long Island NY.
He now owned his own machine shop, 150 employees in 3 shifts.
I got my first boat at 13 it was a 13’ 1955 Dual cockpit Chris Craft outboard.
At 18 I bought an 18’ Welcraft with a 135 outboard, fast boat
At 24 my wife and I bought a 24’ Four Winns Liberator.
So my plan was by now in 70 and my wife and I could cruise the world.
I envy you guys, I never got the nack of sailing.
So I lost my wife in 2021 ( she was only 67) to breast cancer.
Back to the boats We always kept them serviced and immaculate as you guys do
So your videos and othe sailors keep me connected to the sea.
I love the way you three get along, and I did think she was Jades sister but obviously she is Captain Jack Sparrows daughter… lol
Take her into the wind…
Thanks again Jon Warman

It looks like the crossing is very pleasant it makes the trip alot more fun
Fun and enjoyable as usual. I’m more nervous sitting here in Arizona than you all seem to be through obstacles. Keep everything rolling! 😀❤
You can use vegetable oil or seed oil for hydraulic oil in a pinch. Or 10w20 or 30 if absolutely necessary.
Awesome, somewhere over the rainbow. Sounds great!
Great format with daily videos at sea. We have used Hydrovane since 1983, continuing to use Hydrovane on our 2023 trans-Atlantic. It will never let you down, and it can act as a spare rudder, using no power.
I've totally been enjoying these daily uploads......
Thanks for starting the Rice recipe, we appreciate that.
thanks for the most recent vidéo. you guys are real and inspirational. europe is waiting for you

Enjoyed listening to your questions and answers session it gives insight to a different view of things and to ponder on ... 😊❤😊❤ ...
Ayanna’s somewhere over the rainbow ❤, if it hurts when you do it stop. Agree ice, heat and message. Nice passage.
