ALTERING COURSE: How we are escaping hurricane season in 2021 (and beyond!)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 май 2021
- One year: ZERO sailing. That is one of the consequences of the pandemic on our lives. But that's about to change drastically, as we are getting ready to tackle some of our biggest passages to date, which will take us to...?!
A HUGE thank you to Takacat and Torqeedo for making it possible for us to try out a new super-fast electric dinghy setup, which we are excited to talk about in more detail once we have it all figured out.
We sincerely hope that you enjoy this video until we ACTUALLY start sailing again!🙂

I think so many people like your channel because you post such genuine descriptions of your emotional journey as well the fun of the actual boat-life you live. You're both such authentic and lovely people. We, the fans just really like you :-)
Oh thank you so much for this wonderful comment! That warmed my heart 😊
Nice new dingy 😁 I'd like to think I had a part in that. Quite a while ago I emailed Takacat and suggested they should watch your channel and consider sponsoring you with a new cat as you were such fantastic ambassadors for their brand. I'm sure this was already in the works, but makes me feel good thinking I played a part 😉 cheers to my favorite channel on RUclips, Andy
Have a great journey R&S!
I think your "little" channel has done a lot to keep a lot of us sane during this last year and a bit of turmoil, so don't underestimate the massive positive impact it has on us viewers as well as on yourselves.
Safe travels, and stay safe. Sending love from England...
Aaaah thanks Patrick, it meant a lot to read this
Awesome! You are embarking on a true adventure! I can't wait to see your crossing!
Very happy for the two of you. So glad you will have tons of sailing videos coming up.
You guys, on so many levels, are an inspiration...
exciting news indeed! I can't wait to see you guys sail again. safe travels!
I’m super excited for the adventuress that are coming up for you guys. I’m anxiously awaiting all the amazing videos. You guys are rock stars.
A bold plan to be sure. Both the planning and execution of your upcoming adventures are perfectly matched for your collective skills.
Respect both of you for following your hearts and your passion!
Love the new dinghy and motor and all your excitement. The truck was pretty cool as well.
Lovely to see you two back sailing and happy take care .
Through steady progression of increasing difficulties , and a willingness to continue to stretch outside your comfort zone, you grow. Respect, you two got a great mix. So next is a coarse to plot, weather to pull and a boat to put together to get underway. As alway thank you for sharing.
You era growing during this hard times because you mean a lot to us and through your channel we're able to put our heads off this absolute tragic moments. You're amazing. Have a good passage. good vibes from Brasil.
Enjoy! I look forward to following your adventures. I follow Worldtowning too and am going revenge traveling with them to the Galapagos in early 2022!!! 😃
Hi Sophie and Ryan! So glad you are doing a double crossing! I’ve been watching you guys from the start so seen it all! The long voyages are so enjoyable to watch as you both depict knowledge fun and a pro understanding of the sea but foremost what we the viewers enjoy! Best regards to you both
Aaaah Mick!!! Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! :)
Good for you, best of luck!
I can't wait to watch these next few videos! Please make videos about meal prep planning, prepping the boat, and prepping yourselves for a passage like this! I love that kind of content and I love that you go in depth explaining it too. Rooting for you both. Let's get this REVENGE RAIL
Awesome!! You can bet we will do that ;)
I wish you a wonderful journey.
Sweet sweet revenge! Good luck on your travels :D Looking forward to following this new journey!
Thank you for sharing your doubts as well as your dreams. Being a liveaboard myself I often talk to people who think that our life must just be a dream every day.
Great post I see today. I love your Enthusiasm and Positive Vibes and Winning Smiles !! Continued Blessings to all your future endeavors. 🙏❤
Aaaah thanks Gef!!! :D
That new dingy and electric motor looks awesome. Love seeing how Ryan loves his gadgets! Looking forward to following the crossing
Thans Gary!!! We are very much looking forward to that crossing as well :)
I am looking forward to seeing the Azores and Madeira with the both of you and your vlog. Great job.
good luck guys, may the wind gods be with you. Fair sailing to you.
..... Excellent .... what a great plan ..... sure impressed with your new dinghy setup, 10 hp electric outboard, that is simply sweeet!! ..... as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....
Thanks Peter!! :)
Your enthusiasm is just super!
Aaah thanks Tom! 🥰
Incredibly Awesome
love the new tender and your sailing plans, go make memories and do some adventure sailing.
Major passages, major adventures. Life is good. Sail on.
Very exciting.
Cool Plan, wish you safe trips and That you find, what you had in mind while making the plan. Will be on Azores by end of June to help sailing a boat back to the Baltic Sea. ⛵️😎
Super cool! Then we may cross path :)
The plans sounds exciting! GO GO GO
Finally some action! :D
Honest. Real. Inspiring. Thanks for sharing your life experiences.
Thank you John :)
Funny I was going to email you guys about the dinghy motor, and here you are upgrading. Great addition. Heading northeast to escape hurricane season is a great idea. Though the ABC islands are fairly safe, winds die down a lot in the area during hurricane season. I wish I could crew your boat, but too short notice. I could definitely help you guys on the return trip from Madeira or Cape Verde. We've exchanged emails before. Besides, I still haven't got my vaccination and it would complicate matters. Happy for you guys. Fair winds.
Good to hear your plans . I’m am also going across the Atlantic this year we are based in the Uk. Hopefully meet up with you at some point during the journey wishing you all of the best for a good summers sailing.
How cool! If all goes well, we should be in the Canaries in November this year :)
COOLEST dinghy + motor combination!! So excited for your new setup (we might be jealous) AND for your new adventures!! 🚀✨
We shall come pick you up in this new setup next week ;) ;) ;)
Quelle belle idée ! Double traversée de l'Atlantique... impatient pour ces nouvelles aventures....
Au moins autant que nous!!! :D
Well, let us hope revenge is sweet and the waves are small....it has been, for all the sailors I follow, a challenge to plan any future...so good on ya!
Great Video !
Great !!!...Azores and the Canary Islands. I did a Family tree, and My ancestors came from the Canary Islands and the Azores, so I'm looking forward to your adventures there .....Good Luck and have fun....
How cool!! I can't wait to be able to share real sailing videos!! :D
bravo ! super plan ! , amusez vous bien :)
Good luck 🍀
Good luck and take care.
Always a chuckle watching your latest edition. RUclips has given many people an opportunity to project themselves and their stories to the world. Sophie you are one of the best natural presenters I have seen. Congratulations to you both for the passion and risk taking you weave into your lives, your stories really matter to so many people. Full sails to you both.
Thank you so much Peter, we are so looking forward to this new chapter!!! :)
This guys teach me how to live! Thanks a lot 😉
Wow the end of this video was good, best of luck to you guys.
Sophie, you may have done zero sailing but your videos and yourself have blossomed and therefore a joy to watch.
thanks so much Andrew!!! I have tried to use that time off to work on our video production, and I am so happy to hear that you noticed! :)
You know I really love you guys and I appreciate everything thank you
Thank you Tammy, we love having you around as well! 🥰
This is all such great news❤️⛵️
I always loved this quote and it seems to apply to seafarers as well.
“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best we can find in our travels is an honest friend."
“For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move; to feel the needs and hitches of our life more nearly; to come down off this feather-bed of civilisation, and find the globe granite underfoot and strewn with cutting flints.”
-Robert Louis Stevenson
That route sounds fun! And I love the saying revenge travel!!!🙌🏼❤️🎉
Hahaha! Yes, REVENGE!!!! well... as long as it's a "safe" revenge, that is ;)
Glad you're headed across the Atlantic!! It is our loss in Canada not to be open to host you for hurricane season.
Seconded.
One day, we will!!! But Canada needs to take care of herself before we can come visit
@@RyanSophieSailing It's happening, Canada is a huge country, with pockets of population. With no RNA vaccine capability, so it will take til July, before it straightens out.
Best wishes.
Ahh, you will absolutly love the Azores. It is not possible not to. Wish you a wonderful sail to these beautiful islands.
thank you!! we are very excited as well :)
Wow 😯👏 way to go! Let me know if you'll need any inside info abt Madeira, was there about 10 for guiding. In years before I hit the Atlantic ofc 🤣
Good plan
Love it. Must loom into the 9 hp option for my dingy
I have to admit, it is not a setup that we could have afforded without the help of Torqeedo and Dakota Lithium. The technology is still a bit expensive, but we're hoping to see it becoming a lot more affordable in the coming years!
You both make really good videos. I look forward to the next set. Good luck to you both. John
Aaah thank you John ☺️
I have that Takacat 300! You'll love the open transom. No more dinghy filled with rainwater.
I already LOVE it :) I love how I can juste step right from the transom to the dinghy and WALK. It’s awesome!
Hello Sophie and Ryan. We happened upon your channel. We were in St. Martin at the start of COVID too (March and April 2020 ) We are S/V 2 Canoes. I am pretty sure you and Ryan were part of the evening VHF Party. Many of us didn't get to meet face to face but we sure had some great times over the airwaves. Have a safe journey across the pond.
Sweet plan for the upcoming year! Lots of water between stops.
Our favorite way of sailing, with lots of water between stops ;)
That’s an amazing trip👍
We can't wait to finally have some adventures again!!! :)
I promise you, if you stick with your sailing, I , we will stay with you. AND, your following with grow with you.
Love , Fox.
Wow look at you too salty sailors 👏👏, glad to see you guys going on a double Passage !!
Cheers
Roger
We are craving those miles, hahaha :D
Ryan - you have your hands full with this girl. Not in a bad way, but I bet she keeps you on your toes 😀.
On Iowa proudly at the fore! On Iowa, on for evermore!
Azores and Madeira. Great choices! And welcome to Portugal.
saying that we LOVE Portugal is an understatement. So excited to go back!!! :D
As much as I LOVE Bonaire, and especially its people, I LOVE the idea of REVENGE TRAVELLING!
Please tell us EVERY step that it takes to do it!
We feel the same way... hahaha! :D I can't wait to FINALLY make sailing videos again!
Can you do a video explaining your outboard motor and battery (with pelican housing) setup? I'm wanting to set up something identical and would love any tips and tricks you have with that Dakota Lithium setup.
Very cool looking dinghy. But it looks like it’s gonna be a wet one. Safe travels. Looking forward to the videos
It is actually A LOT dryer than it looks! the bow does a really good job at preventing spray... you wouldn't suspect it!
I hope you have a really good spring, summer, and fall passage !!
So sorry Canada is not open yet. We would have enjoyed your company. Come again another day. Safe sailing!
Well, I really understand why Canada isn't opened, and trying to force it wouldn't do anyone any good. We will be back!
Revenge travel! I love it!
💪😊
GREAT TACTIC. Appeal to her not being as strong as necessary to pick up the box. She learned her lesson! Video, not lifting
Great video guys. I'm intending to head back also in a week or two from Trinidad. Did I hear you say beam reach to Grenada from bonaire? Hmm...
Way to go "muscles" Sophie!! :)
They got really flabby during lockdown 😅
Sailing content, nice. Bathing suit content, nice. Human interest content, critical. Keep up the good content. Merci.
Fair winds and safe travels. East coast US next year please! Boston and New Port await.
That's our plan, depending on how our visa application goes :)
Re Azores.
We did a similar North Atlantic circuit, starting from Newfoundland.
We Loved the Azores.
To avoid the mid Atlantic high area of no wind ,Consider sailing NORTH to 40N 50 W before turning East to the Azores.
It will be cold ,dress warmly - ski gear.
We loved the Azores.
The island of Flores is beautiful, but there is no real harbour, you have to Anchor out ,even upon first arrival...
Horta, on Faial is ‘the Mecca’ of the mid Atlantic, go there, but it’s crowded, be careful crossing the street.
Loved Sao George, go there, stay there ...it’s just 10 miles from Horta, call ahead for berthage.
Praia du Vitoria on Terceria has an excellent Marina and a great harbour for anchoring out, loved it there too! We ‘ hauled out there for ‘ winter’...they have a huge food festival there in July and August.
Ponta del Gada, is also very nice , the Marina is rolly, the city is wonderful.
There is a good marina in Santa Maria as well.
Excellent wine and cheese in the Azores, stock up before you leave!
Honestly, The Azores are an undiscovered paradise! As non EU members we could only stay there for 3 months at a time
We visited Porto Santo in the Maderias, and lifted out there , we did not visit Funchal.
Re the Canaries , we visited La Palma, Tazacorte, Very nice as well.
Watch out for those “ acceleration zones” around the Canaries, they are real, perhaps you know this already
We stocked up in the Canaries, and by passed the Cape Verdes...
Contact me if you want more info.
Thanks Edward! You describe our plan exactly :) Thank you for all the tips!!! I'll make sure to go back to your comment for Azores tips. We already crossed the Atlantic once via the canaries and Cape Verde, and are familiar with weather patterns there ;)
Im from Bonaire and i have see you guys one time and i follow you guys on your RUclips channel
That is so cool!!! Hit us up in the coming two weeks and let's go do sundowners at Karels! ;)
waouu on espère vous voir !! super vidéo ;)
mais ouiiiii!!!!! Ce serait top!!! :D
Oh....Sophie there was another boat on the French side that had a similar name to us but we were over on the Dutch side. We are Canadian. Sorry to hear you were unable to make it up this way. We on the other hand are trying to get out of Canada and back to our boat. Cheers.
Stay the course with your dreams..
Great video
Thanks guys! :)
Love your videos!
thank you Vika! ☺
awseomeeeeee, I'm in Portugal now and will be heading to the Azores and Madeira soon so hopefully we will meet
whaaaaaaat?!!! Oh my god, please hit us up!!! :D
Interesting decision. Like a courageous jump in cold water. I can see you showing us the turmoil around, lets say in Alexandria next year?
WOW, adventurous or what?? 7, 00 kn, Polar Seal's gonna be seeing a lot of water pass her keel. Fair winds :-)
Finally some action!!! :D
Could add Bermuda to the list was there in 76, sure it has not changed.
We would have been very excited to see you in Nova Scotia, but sadly even Nova Scotians are prohibited from travelling and visiting their own marinas. Don't forget about us though, for a future visit. Thanks for the video. Stay safe.
We would have LOVED to come visit, but it is sadly not meant to be this year. We will come eventually though :)
Go you guys
You are just an awesome couple and I like your videos. A especially when it is from our beautiful Dutch island Bonaire.
Aaaah thank you!!! Bonaire is very much in our top 3 favorite places ever. It will always have a special place in our hearts!
Awesome plan! Come to Greece?!
I wish!! But that will have to wait for Polar Seal number 2... The world has so many amazing places to visit!!!
Sounds like a sweet plan, double Atlantic. I am planning a Southern Atlantic tour for the future. What do you think of: Fernando de Noronha - Falklands - South Georgia - Tristan de Cunha - Saint Helens - Ascension - Fernando de Noronha ? Could be a cool regatta! Fair winds and following seas.
That sounds like a SWEET journey! I'd sign up for that!!!
Hello.... very good videos. What do you think about the best season to go from Bermuda to the Azores?
That would be right now, or the last two weeks. We feel that we are a little late, but we are ready to handle what may come our way.
Passages 🎉🎉🎉
Madeira is one of my favorite places!
It looks GORGEOUS! and I cannot wait to go there :)
Wow, this is an interesting E-engine. We currently have the EPropulsion 1.0 but also have the desire to go with more power. I am going to check out the EPropulsion Navy Evo 6.0 as soon as it becomes available at the dealership in Annapolis. However, we are still intimidated by the significant weight (and cost) of the battery.
I am really curious how the Torqeedo will work for you. I guess a lot of people may be interested in some good information about this engine.
We will obviously do a full review of the new setup as soon as we have a little more experience of it! But so far, it is amazing :)
Come to Southwest Louisiana if you get the chance. Good food and history! You will NOT be sorry!
I would love to!!!! hopefully in 2022 we'll be doing a big US tour :)
Hey Guys - does your takacat fit ok in your main locker ('garage' I think you called it) when its all packed away ? I'm tempted by the sport 300, which I guess its a bit more bulky , but our deep but relatively narrow (60cm) is a worry.
So the Takacat LX is a lot more compact than the Takacat Sport, because the takacat Sport has this hard transom. The Sport is nice because the closed bow gives a little more room at the front for laudry, groceries, trash.... but the open bow of the LX is GREAT for boarding and offboarding, swimming of the dinghy and diving, especially if you have pets or are with someone in "less good shape". They both have their advantages and it's a matter of personal preference!
