Very nice watches. Thanks for the come back. I was just taken by the flashing light on the back of the watch (I could only assume it was an alarm). Being a nite person, I like the idea of a quiet alarm.
I'm eighty and in my armchair enjoying living the dream I had when I was in my twenties but never did that kind of sailing. Thirty years with the US Navy though got me to sea to see what I can see. You are the best thing that happened to all of us. -Curt
The bouey marker you closed on was a radar reflector so a boat can find it again after it soaks a while. It could mark anything, but is most commonly used to mark the end of a driftnet or longline fishing rig.
I agree uploading videos like this is very impressive they need to get this level of connection into cruise ships. We are assuming we aren’t watching old videos tho.
@@californiakayaker in thier defense sailers new they were against the terms of service. Starlink is trying to update the plans to match how people are using it. Off shore is much more traffic on the satellite network. They need to use lasers to forward the data between satellites until they get over a ground station. When you compare data pricing to iridium sat phones it's an incredible deal at even 10x the current price
Thoroughly enjoying these even today in 2024. Your banter among the crew is just so listenable and I've fallen in love with you all. Good🍀Luck, Stay💝Safe.
After I watched this video I went back 2 years ago to watch the video when you won the boat at Auction. It's incredible at how far you both have come chasing after your dreams. Is there any time these past 10 days that you looked out over the ocean and thought wow i can't believe we are here in our very own sail boat in the middle of the freaking North Atlantic? I couldn't imagine that feeling.
Its an adventure for you and an adventure for me. The daily updates, the map that plots exactly where you are, the winds around you, your current speed, TWS, and your final destination way over there. Well, not so far now. It does feel like I am with you in every sense of the word except for actually being on your sailboat. Thank you, and you are in my daily prayers.
I think all RUclipsrs are courageous to put their lives in front of people but I give you guys extra bonus points for the constant filming and posting for this crossing. I bet it can be draining but you guys always have the best attitude and it’s so amazing what you’re able to show us through your lens on life. Keep up the great work and a huge Hey from Kentucky ✌🏼❤️
Thanks for posting and sharing this passage with those of us stuck at home. I've made multiple offshore passages and each one of these videos brings back a memory or two from those trips. So very envious of your ability to live your dream! . There's nothing quite like the sound of the boat moving through the water at night and the blanket of stars overhead! All 5 of you rock! Thanks again for the memories and allowing us to be part of the trip.
Great episode---it had it all: puppies on a tear, puppies showing love and contentment, a "little" sail handling and repairs using traditional hand awl, great grub (hope it holds out for the additional days), and the amazement to me: three folks at ease with each other and no sulking or grumbling about chores. (that we see, lol) Just a great day and with the sea conditions so prime, it makes me glad to share the world with young uncomplaining folks making the dream work. Thank you, you five. . .
The buoy with a white flag and radar reflector indicates it as a intermediary marker for passive fishing gear, long line, drift net. Most likely just some lost gear. Thanks for sharing your adventure and those meals look amazing.
An absolute pleasurer to be on the ride with yawl.....10 days so far very good weather ..a dream come true ... I bought boat once upon a time and crossed lake mich with it 90m miles from Mich to Chicago .. it took me 3 tries to leave the marina where I purchased her.... the day I finally crossed the lake was like glass ...all the way ....that one day was worth the price of the boat and all the memories that followed.......been fun watching you all have fun ,,,,thanks for the ride ...!!!!!!!! real nice job on the timely vid's ..XOXOXOXOXOXO
great job on mending the sail. If you should need to again, would take that black reinforcement and run it up the sail maybe 6-8 inches to give you a longer surface for more stitches. Travel safe
Yep the faster you sail the more strain that is put on the rigging. You guys won't make the fastest crossing, but you guys are making the best crossing in terms of enjoyment and style both for yourselves and us fallowing you. Thanks.
I can't detect it yet (maybe on the 11th) ... what is so infectiously cheerful in this series of videos. Perhaps your happy faces, the contagious laughter, perennial smiles, the refraction of the sun (or yesterday's moon) in the camera lens ... I don't know. What I do know is that this series of videos makes me happy, very happy!
Just wow what great people you all are ,here’s a thing firstly just love watching flying and pilots aviation in general ,and I was diagnosed with coeliacs back in 1999, and I have cancer so I feel we have a little in common. Loving the crossing guys dogs are just lovely too. Have a good one cheers 🇬🇧
I particularly like that you show the currents on predictwind and how you align to them and the wind and I would appreciate more of that. It structures the uniform visible sea and seeing how you follow that hidden dynamic map is very interesting.
Finding myself liking without various reservations any sailing channel hasn't happened till now..every aspect of your shares has been way satisfying..stright shooting down to the water, pure fun..no background soundtracks, no over exaggerating, or disguising, no use of the words- 'really & actually' which drive me nuts, great camera work, terrific sound quality, intelligent fun conversations, super sense of humour, gorgeous yacht, etc. If your ever about Mtry County Ca., contact me for some touring around🎈
You guys are amazing!! I am a 70 yo and used to be a skydiver yet the ocean scares the crap out of me. I take my hat off to your skills and spirit fixing things and crossing oceans
Brett, on a long passage it is kinder to your halyards to leave them loaded on the winches, rather than being crushed in the jammer jaws for weeks on end. In some cases the latter can lead to the outer sheath parting, leaving the core to run free. Great passage thus far. Well done.
Couldn’t agree more, clutches are great but do have that drawback. My own preference is to cleat them off and leave the winches unloaded to avoid unnecessary localised wear on spindles, bushes and bearings, but I don’t think there’s a cleat handy in their layout. Haven’t noticed one anyway. Definitely worth pointing out for others to take note of though. 😎👍🍻
This is solid advice. Both halyards come to the port winch so I'd have to choose which to load up. Also don't love the idea of having to clear the halyards off just for a quick mainsheet adjustment for example. Solution would be cleats, I'll play with the idea, they'd have to go down over corner by where the line bag is, but that could work well actually.
@@ExpeditionEvans Cool, if you do decide to fit a couple of dedicated cleats in the future, make sure that you fit some good sized and robust stainless backing plates under the f’glass to spread the load to avoid flexing and gel-coat cracking. Some people, I’m one of them, additionally like to sit the cleats on either a hardwood block or another stainless plate to increase their footprint and further reduce localised loads and resultant flexing of the f’glass. Anyway, everyone’s got their own preferences and ideas regarding the details but the basics of the requirement for load spreading remain true. Bottom line, chafe is never a good thing…as anyone who’s had sand in their wetsuit will know. 😂 You’re doing a great job with your routing, no point in beating either yourselves or the boat up if you’re all happy, not on a schedule and you’re fully provisioned. Enjoy the ride!
As someone who is sitting here watching this with 9 dogs of all different sizes, yes they excited my dogs when they were being all happy 🥰 I loved it like long distance besties
Brett, I'm not at all jealous. Sailing (my hobby). 2 beautiful crew. 2 trained dogs. Crossing an ocean. Has to be better than breaking aircraft for a living!! Mark. Wales, UK. (retired aircraft engineer)
Speedy Stitcher Sewing Awl and whale buoy...learning something new everyday..Thanks so much for sharing! Really enjoying the journey with you. Be safe!
The three of you are amazing. There's no way I would be brave enough to cross an Ocean on anything smaller than a ship :) I enjoy living vicariously through you guys. Safe journey, I'll be watching.
Nice chill sail and light dutys, very encouraging to see seas aren't always angry, but friendly,, no wunder lots of spiritual stories come of it,, thanks
Five of us aboard a friend's 40' sailboat to and from Bermuda in 1997 in 8 foot seas the tack piece on the jib that held it to the bottom of the furler just like your main was wore through and I had a hand stitching awl like you had, tethered up, sat on the bow legs around the bow and took 35 or 40 minutes to hand stitch the piece back in place going up and down 8 to 10 and getting soaked in the process. I told the owner it would hold for this trip but when we got back he needed to get the sail into a loft and let them do it better. He ended up selling the boat and never touched fixing it. It was just enough sea state to make it exciting and just a wee bit dangerous. I had two others spotting me and was carefully tethered in as I worked. Makes the heart race 300 miles out in the Atlantic so I related to your issue.
Well done repair! It's called a Speedy Stitcher. I like that so many commenters appreciate the details about tacking, hopping into favorable current in braids of the Gulf Stream. Good to mention doing a complete rig check. Thanks for bringing us along!
About the only difference between y’all and other channels is I wish I got to see more of y’all together. Kind of like y’all bringing Aiyana aboard when y’all would all get together it was wholesome! It isn’t fair to take people and compare we are all different each with their own struggles and each with their own successes and camaraderie as teams or lauren landers she is doing solo sailing
I listened to your video on the way to grocery shop and I'm telling you, I heard those waves and could smell the salty ocean air. AMAZING!! I'm watching and enjoying it visually this time. What a treat. Always so beautiful. I'm looking forward to the beauty of your destination. I love sailing!!!!
“Rope Yarn Sunday” - An Old Naval Tradition - Although practiced in the United States Navy, it is believed to have originated in the Royal Navy as “Make and Mend”. It started during the times when navy ships used sails. The sailors would break out rope yarn to mend their clothes and hammocks. Thanks for reminding me of Rope Yarn Sunday and my days at sea with the USN.
At 10:00, that looks like a marker with a radar reflector for the end of a fishing net. A PONAR would listen for whales and is a bigger float with a bunch of obvious electronics boxes on it. PONAR, not sonar. I use them at work to count whales. They work really well.
A quick question for us not yet sailors; In watching your boat skipping east bound toward the sunrise I see what appears to be both the head sail and main. If you are quartering into the wind, does the sail act like a vertical version of the wing on an aircraft, using the difference in pressure on opposite sides of the sail to produce "lift" in the direction of the bow? I've played around with small sailboats but have never understood the laws of physics regards sailing into the wind. So, most likely most of your viewers could stand a little drawing illustrated lecture on how this miracle works! I look forward to your updates each evening!
Yawning as you’re about to commence a 4 hour night shift is not a good sign Jade! Hope you have an interesting audiobook which will keep you awake! Loving these daily vlogs - keep ‘em coming!
You guys ROCK 😊❗️ Love how you handled this situation with the sail. Awesome teamwork. BEST CREW IN THE ATLANTIC 🎉🎉🎉 Again Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Safe travels ❤🎉 Blessings, Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
Brett, it looks like your main halyard is about 12mm polyester. That stuff stretches quite a lot making it hard to keep the luff tension constant and therefore maybe causing that chafe on the tack fixing. Next time when you replace it use a non-stretch dyneema or spectra core with a polyester cover for all your halyards. If it still slips through your jammers put a camcleat behind the jammer.
To sort out the thickness of the halyard cut a foot off the end of the rope and strip back the outer layer, sleeve over the existing halyard to where the rope goes through the jammer, and stitch on thus increasing the diameter of the rope.
That half concerned, half curious look on the dog's faces at 13:35 is just so worth watching Your videos. You are doing an amazing job, especially since you started the "raw" type videos in classic vlog-style. You are true pros - all of You - the 3 two-legged and the 2 4 -legged kind. Your videos are excellent demonstration of the power of sharing, caring and positivism and such a stark contrast to everything one normally sees as "american behaviour" in the media. All that vile, hateful and violent behaviour connected with everything in the US theses days. It is a real pleasure to see, that there is still sane people in the US. That gives me much hope for the future. Keep it up, as we keep watching You here in Europe.
Helping the algorithm. I’ve said it before - you guys just keep raising the bar. Now these daily vids of pure raw experience - no contrived setups. Simply the best. Keep it up. Thanks.

I agree uploading videos like this is very impressive they need to get this level of connection into cruise ships. We are assuming we aren’t watching old videos tho.
It better work with how much they have to pay for it😂
I feel like as more customers join the network the price will come down and coverage will increase.
What are your thoughts?

A quick question for us not yet sailors; In watching your boat skipping east bound toward the sunrise I see what appears to be both the head sail and main. If you are quartering into the wind, does the sail act like a vertical version of the wing on an aircraft, using the difference in pressure on opposite sides of the sail to produce "lift" in the direction of the bow? I've played around with small sailboats but have never understood the laws of physics regards sailing into the wind. So, most likely most of your viewers could stand a little drawing illustrated lecture on how this miracle works! I look forward to your updates each evening!

Brett, it looks like your main halyard is about 12mm polyester. That stuff stretches quite a lot making it hard to keep the luff tension constant and therefore maybe causing that chafe on the tack fixing. Next time when you replace it use a non-stretch dyneema or spectra core with a polyester cover for all your halyards. If it still slips through your jammers put a camcleat behind the jammer.
Beautiful!
Greetings from Japan,save sail and enjoy your adventure...wish I had a boat myself😅😅.
Great update video from the middle of the Atlantic. Starlink rocks.
To sort out the thickness of the halyard cut a foot off the end of the rope and strip back the outer layer, sleeve over the existing halyard to where the rope goes through the jammer, and stitch on thus increasing the diameter of the rope.
Star-link is great. I was hearing about this two years ago on another channel. They had a big ball on the back of their boat.
You have on of the best RUclips channel.
I love sailing I want a sailboat so bad looks like so much FUN
I hope you are as happy as you look 😊
Look up “scent training for the dogs””
They would be great activities and brain stimulation for the pups
Great work on the sail repair!
Great job on the repair. Cheers!
So enjoying your daily exploits, well done you 3

Great staff guys ... love the behind the scene film ... cheers ... see you tomorow ;-)
What a great series and it's really cheering me along seeing the sailing and everyone enjoying life. Keep up the good work!
