- Now that our new Southerly 480 sailboat is in the water, the commissioning process (testing and final adjustments) begin. This includes sea trials and we get a couple of opportunities to take our new offshore cruising yacht out on the water - a great way to celebrate Paul’s birthday - plus deal with an electrical storm!

THANKS
It is Wonderful to see Capt.Paul again!!! The new distant shores looks wonderful!!!! Amen
A few years back I used to watch this show all the time, but moved and could not find it. I am so glad that now I can watch the show on RUclips. This is a great show that I highly recommend. I enjoy the history that is given at each destination. Hope to see more of Europe. Thank you for taking us all on your journey.
I'm glad you found us again. Thanks so much for the kind words T A. Yes this season will take you to Europe from the French Biscay to the Spanish Atlantic coast and more :-)
You guys have contributed so much to the cruising community. Many thanks
We share a most excellent day to be born. What a gift!
Happy belated birthday, Paul. Our gratulations to your new and fantastic boat. It looks like it is performing very well and must be exceeding all your expectations. We hope it will take you safely to many beautiful places in this world. All the best, Marlene and Benno
Happy Birthday Paul. Congrats again on the new boat - she's lovely.
What a beautiful boat. The Brits still make fantastic boats - engineering and maritime traditions are a great mix.
Congratulations on Distant Shores III, the smiles on your faces say it all!
Happy Birthday Paul and glad to see you back on the water. The boat is a beauty. Congratulations.
Happy birthday Paul. What a great birthday gift - beautiful boat ⛵️
Happy birthday Paul and I wish you both many happy years of sailing in your new boat
So nice of Mother Nature to put on a bit of a light show for your commissioning of Distant Shores III, congratulations! She's a fine looking yacht, can't wait to follow you to all of the exotic locations that await you. Fair winds and following seas!
Happy Birthday, twice. Words can't describe what I feel watching a sailboat glide across the waters.
That lake ice is scary! What a beautiful new boat. Happy Birthday Paul.
Agreed! The ice is amazing!
You guys are amazing! I am not familiar with sailing boats, only motor boats. Living in Arizona, it's all lakes, but I love it. I sometimes have fantasies about sailing on the seas and I happened upon your videos and I just can't get enough of them. I love how you guys work as a team and (at least on camera) you show total respect for each other and it is a tribute to relationships and making them work. I have learned so much and my greatest hope is that someday when I am at a marina and someone is talking about sailing, I can carry on an intelligent conversation about it thanks to watching your videos! Happy birthday and many, many more!!
What a birthday present, you must be delighted with her. Wishing you fair winds and safe harbours and looking forward to following your adventures
Great looking vessel! Congratulations on still maintaining thee classiest sailing series on video or television. I've been watching you guys for years and was fortunate enough to actually meet you at the 2014 U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis...it made my entire year and I never get enough of bragging! Take care and smooth sailing to you both! First Sergeant Andrew Oliver, USA, Ret.
Looks so sparkly and new. I want one. A easy going shake down sail. 👍👍👍
Very nice. Happy birthday Paul. Beautiful boat. Nice birthday present. 😊
Happy birthday Paul! Beautiful boat. Look forward to what and how you outfit it for your cruising travels to come.
Congratulations and Happy Birthday! Fair winds and following seas!
Over the years I don’t think I’ve seen you two so happy and content, you deserve this beautiful boat , many thanks for the hours of interest and happiness you have given me . Here’s to a wonderful future !!!
The boat looks beautiful. Can't wait to see more of her.
She's a beauty! Godspeed for her travels
Enjoy the new boat and many happy adventures!
Congratulations, beautiful boat. Happy Birthday .
Happy Birthday! We were in Newtown Creek that evening on our Southerly 110 - it was a very exciting evening with the gusts, the lightning and the hail! Hope you have many happy days on your yacht.
Have a Hunter 466 back in San Diego and stuck in Toronto when it’s 0 F. Thanks for the great show, holler if your ever in San Diego.
Great to see you back on the water! I am looking forward to following your further adventures!
Just watched this episode again. That really was quite a storm that evening, we were in Newtown Creek, just around the headland from you and nearly lost our Genoa! It is great to watch a bit of my old sailing ground, especially as we can’t get there just yet! Fair winds & enjoy the Caribbean ⛵️
Happy birthday Mr. Paul. wishing you great adventures and looking forward to following you guys along.
The new boat looks awesome! Thanks for sharing with us.
Congratulation for the New Boat and Happy Birthday! The Boat looks really wonderful! Here in Finland we are eagerly waiting for weather to warm up so that we can splash Ottiliana for Her 16th sailing season. Fair winds and water under her keel!
Happy birthday! Congrats on a successful shakedown cruise.
Beautiful new yacht! Fair winds and Happy travels........

Please keep up the great work, and Fantastic Looking Boat! I wish you both nothing but the best! stay safe, Fair Winds and Following Sea's !
Congratulations. Nothing like sailing your own new boat out of the yard. I’ve done it from Pietarsaari 3 times now. All hope for fair winds and good times on DSIII!
Happy Birthday Paul,Congratulations to the new boat ´Mast- und Schotbruch und immer eine Handvoll Wasser unter dem Kiel´ (Break of mast and sheet and always a handspan of water under the keel; German way of wishing the best for both of You and the boat)Stefan, Hamburg Germany
Happy birthday! The boat is looking great. Can’t wait to see where you take her.
Gorgeous shots, gorgeous boat. Thanks for all the great insights
Congrats on the new boat I know you both will enjoy it immensely, fair winds and following seas.
Great shakedown cruise. Love the pictures of the ice. I never knew it built up so fast. I have seen it in Wisconsin but never knew anything about the ice buildup on shorelines. Great Video and look forward to seeing your new adventures on DS3. Maybe get to warmer weather and see SSL before they head out of the Caribbean. I have seen you guys chat before. You got him off the couch many years ago. Nice jacket for that weather. Looks very warm. What a way to have a birthday.
I've been watching rebroadcasts of your Distant Shores II journey through France, Mediterranean, Morocco, and the ARC and realized I needed to seek you out on the Internet, finding you here! So *glad* I did and see I have a lot of catching up to do! Distant Shores III is magnificent! Hope your cruises are absolutely stupendous on it! I'll be watching for future videos here! Bon voyage!
Congratulations on Distant Shores III, she is a beautiful boat and that interior lighting was perfect for a moody English morning. Happy birthday and thanks for sharing your travels!
Great watching. Very inspiring. Thank you.
This episode was calming n soothing especially when anchored for the night.
Happy birthday Paul!
God Bless you two kids and many happy voyages for Distant Shores 3!
Happy B'Day and congrats!!! Cant wait to see new episodes!
Congratulations on the new boat. She's a beauty. And, great work with the videos, keep'em coming!

What a nice way to spend one`s birthday. Looks like your shakedown voyage went without too many issues. Enjoy the new beast and may she take you wherever your heart desires.
Thanks Mike. Yes it went pretty well and the list is being dealt with as we speak!
Hi from Russia guys. Good luck with new boat!
This was sooo cool. And the boat's birthday is now the same as yours!
Hi guys glad to see you got you new boat under you . I see you went with an Ultra Anchor . You will love it . We got one a couple of years ago and we are still amazed how well it performs .
Thanks guys and happy birthday not a day older then 30 LOL as they say, you are as young as you feel and with a lovley new boat like that you must feel like 21😁. Looking forward to see what issues you picked up on the shake down / test sail? Have never bought a new boat so are intrested in how the process goes and who better to show me than Paul and Sheryl
Happy you were able to spend your birthday on board DSIII Cheers from Prince Edward Island, Bryan.
Happy birthday & congratulations on the new boat! Looking forward to your new voyages.
She looks great, (so does the boat 😀). Quite the Birthday venue, congratulations. Taking delivery of our new boat in a month and would appreciate a short version list of what you looked for and found with no disrespect to one of the highest quality builders in the industry for sure. Boats are personal and many things need tweaking. Cheers.
Congrats on your beautiful new home, she appears to sail quite nicely
Beautiful vessel. Looking forward to your Pacific adventures.
Awesomeness. & what a way to spend your Birthday weekend, I look forward to what you both have coming over the next few years.
Cheers from Australia.
Happy Birthday Paul (mine was the 8th) and happy shake-down cruise as well!
Happy Birthday Paul - what a way to celebrate! We can't sail our boat for the next month or so due to _commitments_ (oh well . . .) but watching this video made my Saturday morning complete. The happiness and love between Paul & Sheryl really shines through in this video, and *that* galley - looks like Sheryl has 10 feet headroom ! What a _magnificent_ yacht.
All the best,
Gavin & Amanda
Thanks Gavin and Amanda for the kind words! Glad we could help out :-) Yes the galley has quite the headroom!
Happy birthday:). The boat looks good. Hopefully everything goes smooth and you get her ready for a big adventure. Looking forward to following along. safe sailing:)
Hey, been waiting for a while for this event.... she is beautiful.... tracks right along.... Cheers and happy B-day.... Ready for some Distant Shores III adventures...
Brings back great memories of commissioning my first new boat in 1994. I looked just as nervous as you did. Hahaha. No dodger no Bimini just the basic boat.
I'm looking forward to the many great adventures ahead!
Congratulations Sheryl and Paul!! So happy for you both! I’m the 11th, Happy Birthday Paul for the 12th, your 3 days later the 15th was my hubbies birthday, so very nice that you had the first adventure then we think! We live in 🐨 a day ahead, but who cares! Looking forward, very much to Distant Shores 3 voyages! Cheers 🐨🐨
