This was by far our toughest sail yet and the reason we can appreciate the comforts of an autohelm.

Awesome job guy! Building confidence every step of the way!
Great job y’all. I’m hooked and can’t wait for the next video. You’re finding your groove and the adventure is getting underway.
Thanks Matt 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Folks, I love your channel, I'm a new follower and I can't wait to see your adventure unfold. Your crossing of the Bay of Fundy if you had to do it again should be easier if you follow either the offshore route or the inshore route. The offshore route is either Shelburne, Lockeport or Yarmouth. Shelbourne & Lockeport when heading towards Cape Cod Canal or Boston, and Yarmouth when crossing to Portland and other ports in Maine. The inshore route is usually Yarmouth to either Seal cove on the south coast of Grand Manan Island or to Flagg cove then off to Bar Harbour or elsewhere from there. I love navionics but I also learnt this route from captain Cheryl barr's book Down East Circle Route.
Keep up the great work and remain positive when you're facing challenges.
Oh thanks for the tip!! That is good to know because we had some regrets leaving from West Head.
It is smart to be anxious when you are in a situation where you don't know what you don't know. A year from now you will look back and laugh.
Thanks Mark!! I think so too ☺️
Such a stunning and rewarding sunrise. Proud of you guys for stepping out of your comfort zone and making the crossing happen! Lovelove xoxo
Great job guys! On the passage and the great video. The wife and I LOL'd too. Beauties!
Hey Bill!! Glad you guys had a laugh hahaha thanks!
Incredible footage!!! had to scoop my jaw off the floor!
😂 thanks Cody!
Hoped you practiced reefing during those four days in harbor 😅
Hahahaha we didnt
I remember having those same jitters. You’re doing great guys!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Good job guys! I think that pre-voyage jitters are more common than some of us let on. Rockland is my home port-a great place to provision-you can pretty much walk to everything.
The most overwhelmed we've felt in a long time! And totally agree, we filled all our needs there 😄
Just found your channel! Welcome to Maine! Im from the Brunswick/Harpswell area. Much love from the coast of Maine 🤙
Thanks Robert!!
Just found this…I have never sailed but I have been mesmerized by it lately! Great jobs folks…it’s ok to be nervous…I am 60 and I would have packed my pamper and chummed from nerves! Keep going! How long have you been sailing?
Hahah! We have been living aboard for 4 years, sailed our boat a handful of times but we've learned a lot since leaving Nova Scotia 😄
@ Did you have sailing backgrounds or just decide that this sounded cool? Books? Videos? How did you learn to sail?
Jordan's mom lives on a sailboat which inspired us to try it ourselves and Seth grew up sailing smaller sailboats on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia. We moved to a yacht club and met a lot of knowledgeable people there who helped us out.
@ 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Well, you have now completed your first overnight passage. Congratulations get some rest, and knock the next one off.
Thank you 😄
Legends!
Thanks Josh! Your videos have got me belly laughing 😂
Sailed to Rockland many times. Great place and usually plenty of moorings. In the summer the lobster buoys are dreadfully everywhere outside the breakwater. I once sailed out of there on my 50ft steel ketch and the winds were at 10 knots so I had every stitch of sail up. I never noticed it but my skeg must have caught a buoy sideways or something as they usually just slide under but they use toggles just a few feet away from the actually buoy for when the tide is screaming hard. I must have dragged that pot 5 miles before it popped out. I wonder if he ever found it =)
Oh wow!! Lucky that it just popped off 😅
How come YOU get subtitles, but Seth doesn't ?? ❣
I only subtitle the things I think are less audible ❤️
:)
I tend to get a little distressed hearing that one person on board cannot reduce sail or make a radio call. It makes me wonder if you two could handle a man overboard situation.
Yeah most likely not
If you get distressed watching a video then there is no way you could handle a man overboard situation
@maddogmaz1576 I practice man overboard drills whenever, I have new people on my boat, it is a fundamental safety procedure. I get distressed at people not knowing how to do it being placed in situations where they could be faced with the need to do it!
