Exploring The Worlds Last TRUE Wilderness! [Ep. 127]

- We wake up to a wind shift pushing us onto a dangerous lee shore in Patagonia. The kelp has wrapped our anchor...OH NO! Nope...just a normal DAY IN THE LIFE while sailing on our yacht here in one of the worlds most REMOTE PLACES! We fight our way against storms, wind, rain, hail, snow, waves, and current as we sail through Chile and around the world.
This is what real expedition and adventure sailing is like. No one else is here, as far as we know, we are the first and only RUclips Sailing Channel to sail and film these waters. There are no instagram models, bathing suit photo shoots, and pig beaches. This documentary series is a real adventure by two hardcore sailors from the USA, on a mission to explore the world by sailboat, around it and crossing oceans!

Here is a little more about us:
We sold everything in the USA in 2019. We bought a boat and spent six months re-fitting it in a boatyard in Rhode Island. Inspired by the OG sailing channels such as SV Delos, Gone With The Wynns, and Sailing UMA, we left on the 4th of July to sail away and explore the world.
We wanted to do something a bit different though. We bucked the catamaran trend and bought a fast performance cruising monohull. Many people said we couldn't make it around Cape Horn in our J Boat. We proved them wrong! We are pretty sure we have the perfect sailboat (almost) for doublehanded cruising, especially for sailing upwind in the challenging fjords of patagonia.
So, while all the other fair weather sailing channels like Expedition Evans, Chasing Latitudes (do they even count as a sailing channel?), and Sailing Doodles are floating around in the Caribbean and Bahamas in their bathing suits, at the boat show, creating drama, breaking their boats, making little squalls look like storms, taking photos in their bikinis (real offshore sailors don't wear bikinis btw, they protect themselves from the sun), and really not doing much of anything (we get it, its easy money and can't blame them). We have sailed two transatlantics at an average speed of over 7 knots 100% doublehanded, sailed around Cape Horn twice (our sailing dog Roxy provided moral support and protection from birds!), and did three extensive boat re-fits over the course of four years sailing and living off the grid.
We were not professional video editors, we were not filmmakers. We didn't even set out to make a new RUclips channel, we just wanted to go sailing. We are learning new skills every day. Our goal now is to show how sailing around the world really is. Not a fake documentary which glosses over the difficult parts. This is reality. This is how sailing really is. We hope we inspire you to truly challenge yourself and accomplish your inner goals. You can do anything you set your mind to! Please join us on our journey as we show you how to sail around the world the hard way :-)

Thank you! Will do!
Another great footage. Peaceful scenery. Love it. Thank y’all for the zealous work to share with us detailed weekly updates.
Thanks for the kind comment!
Great footage, guys. Thank you for all the work that's involved in bringing Patagonia to us. 😊
Thanks for watching!
Good Job Kate Baby!
From kelp cuttin',
to skipper-approved burrito makin',
possibly even skipper-enticing Tail Shakin'?
❤
What you 2 are doing is Truly •Special• Indeed.
🙏🦉⛵🌅
Good one!
Hello! I wanted to let you know that the Chilean Navy has issued a storm surge warning for the central and southern area of Chile. Since you are sailing within the channels I don't think it will affect you, but if you are thinking of going out to the ocean it would be better to inform yourself. Greetings!
Thank you for this Jose!
nice video........ about time to head out in the Pacific towards the sun.....
You got that right!
Eggs and hot dogs! 😂
Merci pour votre vidéo et le partage de votre aventure. 🇫🇷
Merci!!!!!
Just beautiful. As the season changes at my location, it is time to watch your videos as a series to get the full experience. Thank you so much.
Enjoy the adventure!
I love your work, your attitude and especially your latitude!
Patagonia is amazing.
Thank you so much!
I suppose you folks are down near Puerto Montt I've been following you as best I can with the link you gave me. Personally I am heading to the Annapolis Boat show this upcoming week, so hopefully I won't be freezing up there. Its getting cold and there are a bunch of YT cruisers in Annapolis with their boats that didn't realize October gets bone chillingly cold on the water. I am taking my boxtruck conversion up there to stealth camp as every hotel experience I've had is atrocious. You three are still going I see in the cold soup, so I am glad to know you've not succumbed yet!! Eat more Burritos;)
Enjoy the boat show!
Love the eggs and hot dogs; made me smile
We knew you would.
Beautiful scenery. Looks a bit like Down East Maine......my home sailing grounds. 😊 See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ ❄️ 🌞✨
Excellent video!
Thank you!
👏👏👏
Great stuff. Someone must have already mentioned this, but in B.C. we loop the rope "stern tie" around the tree and back to the boat. That way we don't go back to shore before leaving. Also very handy if we have to leave in the middle of the night.
Really liked this one. Nice, easy going with good commentary, easy listening music and beautiful scenery. Made coffee in my Sweet Ruca mug taste better. Would love to know when a live stream was going to take place so I could join. Yall keep having fun, stay warm and stay safe. Bill
Glad you enjoyed it! Stay safe also!
Best sailing channel! I'm a little surprised you aren't doing a little fishing (when anchored) to augment your hot dog stores....
Great suggestion!
😀👍👍👍❤ Thank you both for posting another great video. Bye for now from Seattle, WA.
Hello Seattle! Cheers!
cheers, kids,
Cheers!
Love love love this video. The nature shots are awesome. It looks like a much-needed easy day for sailing
You two seem to be suffering from a lack of sunshine 🌞 hope you get some soon
Our batteries feel the same way! :-) The sun will come out soon!
@@SailingSweetRuca you definitely deserve some
Down to the hotdogs ,, time for a port visit.. good thing hotdogs never go bad , kinda like twinkies .
Ha! No grocery stores in this neck of the woods :-)
😍👏👏👏👏👏👏

All my sailing,(if you can call it that) was in hot dry weather and in the daylight. So, I was wondering, if cold wet sails have any challenges to them, specially in the dark when you can’t see the sails or how the tell-tales are holding?
The jib telltales surely stick and are pretty much useless much of the time! The more sailing you do, especially in a boat familiar to you, the less you need the telltales and the more you can sail by feel alone, which is really helpful in the dark.
probably a bad idea, but there are small (tall) tent structures that campers purchase to shower in or (?) ... could this be set up in the cockpit to change out of the foul weather gear? or possible a project to consider making with marine supplies a structure could also allow hanging up the gear and with a light bulb it could help dry it
No such thing as a bad idea! Sounds like a lot of work to set up and stow, but no reason why it couldn't work. Mostly we throw our wet gear under the dodger or hang it in the head with the hatch cracked.
Hello… Great videos and explanation about yours tracks……,what are the lengths of the green and gray stern mooring ropes? what is the diameter of them?
It was great to meet you in person. They are 100 meters in length and 19mm diameter (3/4").
If someone is looking to buy an expedition, high latitude, kind of sailboat, Ushuaia and Port Williams are good places to look for a boat? Any suggestions?
Limited selection there. I would look in Europe.
Thanks for sharing. With the two headsails on opposite sides.. is it called a bikini? Or maybe it is only called that with two spinnakers in the ior boats...
Could be! So maybe we did have our bikini on??? :-)
@@SailingSweetRuca This gives new opportunities to get more views... *lol* Please keep up your excellent work and style in these episodes it is really appreciated.
Hey!
Curious... what kind of boom brake is that, and how would you rate it??
We will put this on our list to blog about as many people the same questions, and the answer is best with more detail.
Great thanks!
😃
Do you ever use headsets?
Good question. Haven't used em'. The boat isn't that big :-)
We just use two handheld VHF's for undertakings like anchoring.
Sound???
??? Seems to be working on our end, but we will double check.
Patagonia is NOT the last true wilderness - that is BS! You have to go to Siberia to find it, there is plenty of it.
Maybe some day we can sail there!
Every time I try splitting hairs, I get a headache.
How do you transmit the live stream? Do you have starlink?
