      You have two grand lads… their outlook and charm is a testament to you. :)
      And their laughs and smiles are infectious.
      One of the key reasons I am finding it hard to do the same as them is my mum is 84 and has no one else. She lives with me since my dad died and I promised him I would look after her.
      The lads are a true inspiration and two of the best people on all of You Tube.
      They deserve to become one of the biggest sailing channels on here.

    Our trip in 1987 cost $800 US. We used our own lines and fences often borrowing from other yachts. We helped another boat go through and then got the train back from pacific side to Colon. In return another boat helped us go through. Yachties helping each other.

    • @TheSailingBrothers
      @TheSailingBrothers  Год назад +1

      800 us sounds pretty good but I guess it was back in 87. We tried to get line handlers from other boats in the marina but they all let us down so we have to hire.

    Well done guys, bought back great memories. I took my R38 through in 1987. Looks like not much has changed.
    We towed a smaller boat the whole way through as it didn’t have an engine. The advantage being we kept all 4 lines on our boat. I was concerned for your chocks tied next to the heavier boat. Looks like you worked it through well. You will need a cockpit cover of some sort in the pacific as the sun is ferocious. We fabricated one out of aluminium poles and u bolts. I made a cavas that lashed over the poles. We put a hose fitting in the middle to attach some garden hose too and it doubled as a water collector.
    The advantages were that it could be taken down in rough weather if needed. It looked very Heath Robinson but was very effective and we kept our water tanks topped up with occasional squalls

    • @TheSailingBrothers
      @TheSailingBrothers  Год назад

      Hi Sally
      A beautiful R38 👌
      So you towed a boat all the way through with no engine wow I don't think they would allow that these days. We certainly have noticed the Sun here is extraordinarily strong it burns you very quickly. We will set up some sort of tarp once we leave for the Pacific. Did you manage to collect much water? We are wondering how much rain we're going to have out there 🤔

    One step beyond 👍It was a little ominous seeing those gates close behind you, you're officially a long way from wales. 😁 Made from strong stuff.

      I had a strange feeling in my belly once those Gates closed and left the Atlantic behind. Wales is a long way behind 🌍

    Well done fellas ...one hell of an achievement and one of so many you can be so proud of so far. Deep breath ....enjoy the local sailing first before the big push to Fiji and going without CHEESE for at least a month.

      Going through that canal is something we will never forget. We are doing a little bit of exploring here before we head off as we are waiting for a weather window. It's going to be a long time offshore until we get to French Polynesia first stop ⛵⛵⛵. PS we will run out of cheese 🧀😔

      Hey Terry
      Great choice of boat. We love our R34 she is a legend. I bet it was quite the sight to go through the canal on a RN frigate 🤯
      Thanks for following us from the very beginning 😁

    Well done lads…brilliant…the Pacific! Who would have thought a year on from fish & chips on a bench in Stranraer you’d be on your way to the Polynesian Islands. You should be proud of yourselves & what you’ve achieved ‘da iawn chi’!

    • @TheSailingBrothers
      @TheSailingBrothers  Год назад +1

      We too remember having fish and chips and feeding the birds at the same time. It's a lovely little town and the marina is amazing. Now look where we are in the Pacific Ocean who would have guessed? Cheers Peter 👌

    Beautifully filmed! The best filming of a sailboat transit I have seen, and I've watched a lot of transits by sailboats. You two are a team beyond belief. One of you is a poet and both artist's in life and this is very evident in your videos. You are able to film so well. Thank You again

    Wow! Incredible in so many ways. First time to see the transit from the viewpoint of a boat making the passage. So pleased for you and admit to shedding a tear.

      I remember when we made the decision not to go back to our jobs but to sail our boat across the Atlantic. Now we are in the Pacific, it's just mind blowing 🤯
