Two black Sailors scared for their life on sailboat with no land in sight.

- The day that our sailing adventure almost came to a quick end. As beginner sailors we took on our biggest sail for the first time. For the first time we would not have cell phone reception nor would we be able to see land while passing the Florida Everglades. Sailing is a challenge that only few can mentally conquer. So come along on one of our scariest sails ever.

As a reasonably experienced sailor, it's great to see new people coming into this sport. As with anything, there's lots to learn. Lots. There's many people in a similar situation - just bought a boat, just learning. I think you could have a niche in showing each new thing you learn. Eg, sail trim, reading the weather, etc.
Quick question: my biggest fear, hands down, is drowning. If I looked around in all directions and could see no land I'd probably have a stroke and flatline right then & there anyway tho. Lol.
My 2nd biggest fear is living my life afraid to do the things I want to do. My dad died with regrets. I don't want to. That would be a sort of metaphorical drowning right?
One thing I pretty desperately want to do one day, is sail across the arctic, pacific, or the red sea. Do you have any ideas for working up to it, overcoming the fear, or how to go about making it happen?
Thank you!
The commentary “fuuuccc what cha heard” 😂😂😂 I am so happy I found this channel!!!
Glad to see you two out there learning the ropes. Those squalls can get freaking scary especially when you have a loved one onboard. Keep the sails trimmed so that flapping doesn't wear them out too fast. Things on a sailboat break down fast enough as it is. Enjoy every moment, even the scary ones.
I think you can inspire many people introducing them the amazing rewards of sailing/adventuring. As well as the "scare the crap out of you moments" involved. Subscribed!!
I'm very happy you guys survived after such turbulence on the water. You may have missed it in person, but I noticed a very spooky ghostly face in the clouds around 9:50. God Bless You and may you sail on sweeter waters here on in.
Doing something so far outside your comfort zone is an eye opening and wonderful experience to show you the things in life you are capable of doing and experiencing. Good luck out there and have some fun with your life and never be afraid of trying new stuff. Everybody willing to help you learn out there on the water.
It’s nice to see another black sailor. Enjoy and I hope our path will cross. We are currently in the Pacific so, we are far away.
I love your adventure. Don't wait until life is perfect, just go out and start living it. God bless your journey and provide for you along the way!
Well said brother! Life too short and we got to start living it and having peace. Blessings to you and yours and thanks for your support.
I love it, glad to see y'all out here!!! Nice to see some folks like me for once, as getting a sailboat and learning to sail is on my list :)
Consider getting a dead cat for your mic. It will help with the wind noise. Great travels to you both.
Yes lol 😆 🤣 😂 we are about to make the big move too...the feeling to be the only black family on the marina ... 4 kids 2 adults... can wait to see more from you
Great job. Liked your content.

We have a higher proportion of black people here in Brazil than in the US, and not a single brazilian black cruiser sailor that I know of. Subscribed.
You don’t see them in the U.S either, but hopefully we together can inspire more and bring diversity to sailing. Thank You for the like and subscribe.

My partner and I are about to move to our sailboat in Mexico. I am totally new to all of this and so happy to have found some new sailors to follow!
First Thank you for the like and subscribe. We believe you all will love the experience and we wish you happiness also safe sails with fair winds.
You both are hilarious. Just subscribed.
I wish you the best on your journey. Having watched two of your voyages I can only say you are a lucky couple. The conditions of your boat are dangerous to say the least. All the junk on deck! You are lucky to be alive. Please get some guidance from experienced sailors asap. We want to help.
Will do and we got so lucky we made it to the Bahamas and more, make sure you like and subscribe to find out just how far.
@@sailingonstar8500 You guys are in The Bahamas now?
In Stuart now. Will be in Bahamas the end of March.
@@BuckTravis Hmu. I am in the Bahamas.
F*#@ what u heard.. it's what u hearin!!🙌🙌🙌
Wow we are humbled Respect and Love
@@sailingonstar8500 yo! That squall was sick, enjoy the keys
Bro you two inspired us to be able to face it. Can’t thank you enough we love sailing.
@@sailingonstar8500 good shit!! Happy to hear that 🙌🙌 if we made it this far anybody can. Hmu on Instagram when u get to key west, I have some dope shallow dive spots I can hook u up with if u spearfish
Sucbscribed! Keep it coming! what are you plans?
After following quite a number of other sailing channels it was nice to stumble upon your channel. Nice to see a new sailing channel with a different perspective to subscribe to. Keep up the great work.
Welcome aboard!
So glad you told me it it two black sailers I would never have guessed otherwise.....
Yes ! Interesting story. More people of colour should join the sailing fraternity.
An old salt told me one time.
"don't worry the boat will do better than you"
😂😂😂😂
the funny thing about fear and going thru the bad stuff: it's terrible in the moment but you feel fully alive after you come out the other side. You gotta have a playlist for when things get weird. I play PE's "911 is a Joke" when I go thru really bad storms...it pumps me up and reminds me that no one is coming to help. I gotta solve it myself. Plus, singing that can make you laugh in the face of the storm. Buffet's "stranded on a sandbar" is another good one to keep your spirits up when you inevitably join the running-aground club.
What I think that’s what keeps you going coming into the unknown. ⚓️
Great adventure - looks like you both handled it well. I caught a glimpse of your stern light and I must say that is a really great set up. Solar powered and always on at night - Nice! I am going to borrow that idea if you don't mind. Keep up the great sailing!
Thank you 🙏🏾 Love the like and subscribe.
We all wanted to jump in!
Come on but don’t let it be your first storm 😂😂😂😂
Damn, been looking for a channel. I subscribe to other channels but never see a black couple. Got a new Sub
Love it love it love it …. You guys had me rolling in my living room ❤ subscribed!!!!!!congrats on overcoming your fears!!
Really enjoyed the video, looking forward to watching some more!!
Great vids, keep them coming...hopefully one day to connect with you guys.
You-all are too funny. Love it. Enjoy.
Good video! I think you probably want to figure out a place to put the outboard on the stearnrail the next time while trailing the dingy. Let's see more!
Just subscribed. I have been following numerous sailing channels. Sailing into Freedom, sailing Sophisticated Lady. Nice to find a brand new beginning channel. Good job so far .
Awesome! Thank you and enjoy our adventures!
Nice adventure. First time viewer. I will subscribe for more.
Yall will do fine. Secure that anchor rode though! That could go overboard and cause some REAL problems.
Speak the truth brother!
Great choice C&C makes a fine boat. We have a C&C 35 MKIII. Have fun and stay safe.
if you make that trip north again, def stop in the Shark River. You'll be really protected from weather inside of there. Massive flocks of birds will make a commute at dawn and dustk. It' feels incredibly remote but you aren't really that far from civilization. You can also anchor off of East Cape or Middle Cape, catch snook and dinghy up the muddy creeks to see massive crocs
Yeahhh found another sailing chanel to follow, thank you guys
Good on you guys!!!! You guys have this thing .... !!!!
Yunz have one sense of humor. I sure hope to meet yall. Fair winds and following seas
Yeah we are down to earth just not on land. We enjoy the water it makes life a little more interesting. 😂😂😂
Great video guys. Had me laughing. Looks like yall werent scared at all. Enjoy your adventures
Bro I laugh every time I watch this video. Man I’m glad it made you smile, fair winds and see you on the seas.
I ❤⛵
I love your attitudes, well done!
Hey Bruh I hit you up a while ago. I bought that boat I was telling you about. Due to maintenance and weather delays my crew can not complete the trip. I’m in Ft. Pierce, FL right now. We’re heading to Jacksonville where they will get on a plane and go home. I need your help. I’d love to have you and your lady help me get this boat to DC. Would you like to discuss it further?
Keep at it !!!! CHEERS !!!!
Wondering what happened to you guys. We are in Madeira, headed to Cabo Verde and Brazil.
Wow nice manta rays!! Those Birds are telling you their is a school of fish 🐠🐟 right there
Never knew that’s why I never catch nothing
Great job. Really like your content.
Great work. Keep going. Take safety classes. And have a blast :-)
You made it amusing. Fears make weird friends.
I had fun watching this video you guys keep it up
Y'all are too funny!
Good video! Thanks for sharing your dream. In Marco and curious if that was a couple days ago when the tornado hit when you were on the water?
No we’re trying to catch you guys up to now. Thank You for watching
Good boat THANKS bro.
So I am viewing a lot of sailing videos on RUclips and I searched HARD to find black people sailing as all I can see on RUclips are Wyt ppl and I was wondering if this is ANOTHER activity only for Wyt ppl. I also see you haven't posted in a while . I hope u resume as it is IMPORTANT as you know for more reasons than 1.
Patience it's in the works now 🙏🏾
Good luck and Fair wind
Good times.
Hello from LA!
Hello there hope you was inspired some kind of way we’ll be back soon
I hope you got a new dinghy, missing you guys in the Bahamas.
There is good reason to be afraid, for anyone.
Were you all sailing in the Bermuda triangle ? Why does NOBODY tell what brand of sailboat ?
Sorry brother this boat is a C&C 33ft
Your main sheet...?
What is the Make and Model of your boat? Let me know when you come to Los Angeles.
It's a 32 ft. C&C and we will definitely let you know in our adventure where we land. Thanks for your support!
new subbie 🙋🏽♀️🤗
Captains need a level head in a Emergeny.
You right about that!
Id watch letting you main luff like that it will end up tearing.... just from personal experience
Yep if you only knew😂😂😂 the patrons know from the unedited videos.
Oh but I do know lol..... I've done it too, shredded a main ended up using 40ft if sail tape to get 400miles home 🙈🤦♂️
@@sailingonstar8500 At min ~4:50, we see you've tied the reffing lines around under the boom. Don't do it that way - you'll tear the sail at the reefing eyes. Instead, just tie the reffing lines around the bunched up sail - not around/under the boom. Good luck!
that's scary
But fun
My South African friends always give me shit for being a whitey and doing white people sports, like sailing, diving, mountain climbing etc
Hey do what you like it’s not a such thing as white or black sport, it’s just sports and everyone loves something different.
Sweet
S/o to yall Peace
Why even bring up color ?
Good question! In the U.S it’s just something we don’t see. Have you ever been black and sailed in a bay and see the look on those faces? Have you had those funny conversation like guys we have never seen black sailors, but we love it? Also hopefully we inspire more diversity to the water as Sailors!
@@sailingonstar8500 I Congratulate both of you ! Sailing takes courage and the ocean does not care what color one's skin is, she treats everyone the same. It's both Fun and Dangerous at the same time. I am hopeful that sometime down the road everyone will not see / or bring up the color of one's skin and just see the person as another human being. I'm old and doubt it will happen before I leave this world, or maybe never, but it sure would be nice ! I wish you both Good Sailing Winds and Following Seas.
You just got my subscription mainly for acting reel none of this everything's perfect all the time shit
Sailing boring or terrifying known to be bith on the same day
Hilarious
How much you want to bet she don't know how to swim 😭😢🤪😂🤕
Safety First when on the water learn how to read current and wind. Also make sure you have all the proper safety devices. Last but not least we all can swim 🏊🏾♂️ if not WE are your Capt!
😂😂😂
First Black Sailing couple on RUclips! Why so rare? :) You guys look like a fun couple. Wish I was in the Key's to hang out. I am in Michigan so I have a while before I can get on my craft.
I am not so sure how new you are to sailing but here are a few observations you will get shit for. Stow your fenders. It is like having a paper plate on your new car. everyone will think your a new driver. Remove the handles from winches and only insert when you are using the winch. Many reasons for this including not losing the handle, easier wrapping unwrapping lines and safety. Additionally not that I saw you doing it but I see a lot of noobees wrap the line around there hand when the want to pull it. Do not do this if you want to keep those fingers :)
I suggest you remove the engine from your dink when towing. If your dinghy flips your out 1000 bucks. It will also help if you make your self a "Y" tow bridle for the dink. It will tow better and straighter (no zig zagging) . There is some magic to the amount of line you let out when towing too, You will have to research that, a lot of science there.
The last thing is the warning that anything forward of the cockpit is a sacrificial gift to Neptune. That Genny up there is in danger. I cringed when I saw where you were stowing it. It looks like a beast tho. what is it about 3500 watts? Personally I would get a smaller more fuel efficient one that could stowed in a lazerette. This is more of a personal choice and I get it your wife using a laptop prolly sucks up a lot of juice.
Well that is MHO and it is worth as much as you paid! I hope you are having fun in the Key's... Are you gonna go out to the Dry Tortugas National Park ?
