900 nautical miles in 6 days: stories of our Mediterranean crossing #54

- Crossing the Mediterranean on a sailboat from Malta to Spain: 900 nautical miles in 6 days!
Video of how we dealt with my burn at sea: • 2nd degree burn at sea...
We started our crossing from Malta, where we had been spending a couple of weeks prior to departure. The weather conditions were absolutely perfect for an East to West sailing passage at sea, with downwind all the way.
Although we had to motor the first day, the rest of the passage was for the most part as glorious as it was uneventful. On the 5th day, I burned my leg while making coffee, and we considered re-routing the boat to get me to a hospital. But all things considered, we were fairly well equipped to deal with the injury until we’d arrived at destination, and we continued to Almerimar.
This is our absolute longest video to date, and we hope you’ll enjoy it!

📩 hello@ryanandsophie.com
No, I haven’t burned myself twice, I had just made a longer video about the incident two months ago 😉
Right after I went to the doctor, I bought myself a very nice coffee pot that doesn’t require me to handle boiling water! Love the new coffee pot, loved how my burn has been healing (thanks guys for asking!) and I still very much love being at sea :)
Cheers from Gibraltar! /Sophie
Ryan & Sophie Sailing hows the burn recovery?
I'm glad you enjoyed Malta. Thank you for the positive comments.
So glad your burn turned out to only be a little war wound rather then a huge scar, that was awful and made me wince just watching.
I have probably said before but the real feel you have with this channel is priceless and gives you a polished shine in the reality stakes.
Look forward catching up some more on my happy binge moment.
Take care and Fair winds.
I love the views of malta. It's my home and thanks for the positive comments. 900 in six days! Well done!
Thanks Angelo! We love Malta so much... we had such an unforgettable stay! we will be back for sure 😊 /Sophie
Great episode. I scalded my leg with boiling water while hiking and wrapped it in gladwrap until I got to civilisation. It worked well.
Great video, thanks for sharing with us! Sophie you are a great and strong woman with an awesome personality. It’s fun to watch your adventures. 😎
Ah! The familiar battle with the eyelids and the boredom of a night watch!! So glad it's not just me.
S,ophie, you have the most upbeat delightful personality!!!, great sailing...
Totally awesome. You guys do a great job of bringing it real as young sailors building your resume and journeys to us. Thank you.
That coffee maker is bad karma . Throw that thing away . What a flashback hahaha , you had me the first moment !!!!
Great show.
I'd like to congratulate Sophie on her adept abilities in conversing using Imperial weights and measurements. In this video, she uses the 12-hour clock assignment and measurement in miles. I would be totally lost and at a disadvantage with metric units!
That was a very fast 55 minutes, I enjoyed it really much.
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it :) I didn’t feel for cutting it in two parts but was a little afraid it’d be too long! /Sophie
Indeed, I guess that is why it's starting to get dark outside. It was bright when I started.
I didn't expect a 55 mins vid to be that good, go that fast and become one of my top sailing channel video. Top 3 for sure. Thanks guys, very nice work!
Excellent video. I liked it very much!
Thanks for sharing your adventure, the 55’ went really fast. You are a very nice couple and I love how seriously you take safety (not often to see on other RUclips videos people wearing life jackets for example). Great sense of humor Sophie, you remind me of my wife (btw she loved how organized you are for the pre-crossing provisioning). Fair winds!
Loved it, I really enjoy tour sense of humor Sophie :)
When my family and I did the great loop in the USA...when we would see dolphins give us an escort...my kids would call them (the dolphins) the police of the sea “giving us a police escort”...they felt it was an honor and a sign of good luck!! Minus Sophie’s coffee incident, I’d say it was a good way to close the chapter on the “season”. I’m so looking forward to the Atlantic crossing and cant wait to see what the tropical islands bring us by way of videos. Stay safe and enjoy your time off
Thanks so much:) that was indeed a great way to close this season... we love a good uneventful passage with plenty of sailing and no bad stories (minus the burn... but it could have been so much worse!) and your kids are so right.. dolphins are the best escort! /Sophie
Hi Guys
I stumbled upon your video quite by accident and it was thoroughly absorbing and I am looking forward to viewing your future adventures. Well done !
Hi, thanks for these beautiful images and information ..⛵👏👏👏
Great video, thanks for sharing
Never having sailed I love to see even the moon on the water. I wish more sailing video's showed more of the night experience. Thanks for yours! Like all of your videos.
Great video of the passage! Thanks for sharing the ups and downs. I cringed and squealed all over again when Burnie showed up. Hope you are healing well.
Thank you for sharing your adventures, I'm looking forward to the next season.
We really enjoyed that! It was like a mini movie! Well done and keep chasing it . xx 🇳🇿🇦🇺
Absolutely one of the best videos ever. Great sailing with you, thanks. Hope your burn is coming along well,
Thanks Mike!
WOW, didn't know this video was that long till you mentioned it at the end of the video. LOL
Ryan, Sophie I´ve been watching your videos, avidly, for a week or so. Your stories are fun, honest and pretty usefull for those, like myself love anything sailboat related and planning to travel the world within a year or so. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing your experiences around the blue. Au revoir! :)
We are about to set off on that exact passage in the opposite direction! Gibraltar to Malta!
When I saw the coffee maker I was thinking, no not again - what are you doing! Then I realised it’s because I watched the burn video before this one! Fair winds guys!
Also would be good to see your preventor set up for the main ;)
As a crew of two on longer passages we don´t shift watches and we make longer watches during the night. My wife Sabina goes to bed just after dinner about 7pm and I have the watch to 2:30 -3:30, it depends how I feel and than we shift. Now I am so tired that I fell to asleep immediately and can sleep till 8.00 to 9.00 am. Thats enough for me, I never sleep longer than 6 hours a day. Under daytime we now who has to look every ten minutes around. After a few days it feels normal and you get tired when your watch ends.
And for downwindsailing we have a second forestay that we can rig in a few minutes for the fock and two poles. Now you have the possibility to change your sailplan very easy, full sail, genua rolled a little bit or away or fock away. Only for fock away you have to go out of the cockpit. On our atlantic crossing we didn´t use our main for just a minute.
Meant to comment on your earlier episode... When making hot drinks, put the cups in the sink while pouring so a spill is contained...
Love your work. happy sailing!
Very good camera, editing and music selection, this is your thing
55 minutes? Seemed like 20 to me. Can never get enough of your sailing adventures. Hopefully, by the time you get to the States, I'll have sold my home and bought my boat.
Great episode guys, across the board. Well shot, well edited, really enjoyable. Can’t wait for Atlantic stuff, but enjoy your little break.
Absolutely excellent video. Worth every minute. I think you did a great job introducing Fabienne to the unique qualities of off shore sailing - especially night sails and watches. It's so much different because of the exhaustion factor. I've got a passage coming up from the BVIs to Denmark with four of us on board - I'm already anticipating the 100 lb. eyelids.
Another great video, guys! This one offered an excellent insight into what goes on, (and what doesn't!) on a long passage. Have a well deserved break and I look forward to watching your new adventure, soon.
Thanks Edward!!! 😃
55min. No problem. Was easy to watch (except the burning part). Very nice video (film) with every thing on it. Top!
Thanks!!! :)
Alright! New video up! Thanks guys! Grabbing a coffee and settling in to watch :)
beautiful sunrise I miss the sunrises at sea the colours are so warming
Bravo pour ton montage sophie sur un temps aussi long. Dommage pour la pêche mais c’est ainsi !
Merci pour vos vidéos !
Congratulations on the long passage! Great job on the video editing - it seemed like a normal length 30 minute feature although it was 55 minutes long. Good happy ending to this season of sailing. Looking forward to seeing your videos preparing for and crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Thanks!
Thanks David! So glad you enjoyed this very long video... i didn’t feel for cutting it in two parts, but a little worried it’d be too long... oh well! 😊 /Sophie
Well done video 👍
Looking forward to the next season. Ant, Cid & the Pooch crew. xx
Thanks Ant and Cid!! Big hugs to you, Lady Rose and Oscar! /Sophie
Thanks guys this was the best yet. A great 55 minutes.👍😊
Thanks! So glad to hear you enjoyed it :) /Sophie
Excellent again. I can't believe how that cockpit lampshade survives...
Hahaha! Funny that you mentions that cause... it’s not surviving well at all 😅 /Sophie
Glad to see you have another person on board to help with the watches. Nice to explain the importance of safety lines and being observant. That was a bad burn, you toughed it out.
Yeah, it was really nice to have another person onboard, the difference was noticeable! /Sophie
I'm glad she is a she and pretty!
Finally watched the whole thing. And I hope you have a new coffee maker now Sophie
nice video, when cooking at sea you should wear salopete or a waterproof apron.. shoes/booty's are a must burns on the feet are a big problem... happy sailing.
Some channels, I will watch any length ....yours is certainly one! I didn't comment when the burn video came out but the experience can stick with you. I burned one hand more than 50 years ago and it is still quite real in memory!
Yeah, the scar on my left thigh reminds me of that moment every day... but it could have been so much worse, I am grateful that it turned the way it did! Thanks for the really nice comment :) /Sophie
You guys are Awesome.
Loved it ! So sorry about your burn,hope you are doing well.
My burn is doing fine, thanks for asking! I’ll get away with a minor scar, that will live its life under my shorts anyways :) so glad you enjoyed the video! /Sophie
I like that !Following the 🌞 Sun!
what a trooper she is, i had a similar burn about a decade ago and it sucked so bad, i was camping and picked up my coffee pot and the handle came right off and half the pot of coffee dumed on my thigh lol it was the worst camping trip ever cuz i was so far and it would take days to get out so i just did what she had to do, hunker down and live with it, it was not a fun time, she handled it better then i did tbh lol
We follow you since your begining and we do realy like your chanel. We have look this episode few times because we are planing Med and Atlantic passage.
If ever you have time, we'd realy apreciate exchange infos with you on your experences please.
Denis an Christine 🇨🇦
Best video yet.
Thank you 🙂👌...
Wahoo, thanks!!! 😃
awesome guys !!! .. loved that long video !!! ..so good !!.. safe travels
So glad you liked it! Thanks! /Sophie
I thought I was going to be watching a sailing channel but it appears that I've been watching a video about a motor boat
Great video! I saw the burn episode quit some time ago, and hope very much that you feature the new and safer coffee maker during the Atlantic crossing. Looking forward to the new adventure!!!
I’ll make b-roll, slo-mo footage of my new amazing coffee pot just for you ;) /Sophie
Crew is important!
Guys, you're the best!
Aw, thanks! 🥰
Someone said if you like the video leave a thumb's up... 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing.
SUPER THANK YOU
Hi....I love the night watch! When I’m in charge I always put some night transfers as I love sailing in the night under the stars...with me, the wind and the hull in the waves....if you need someone who takes all the night watch from 2am 8am (for the Atlantic passage) simply ask!
That's my favourite time. I find it easier than the daytime with having to keep a more vigilant watch it seems to fly by.
Well everything depends on at what time did you wake up, but I like it none is around every sound is perceived more deeply....few lights in the boat and it’s you and the nature..
Great 😀👍
So enjoying your channel. Been binge watching and looking forward to your Atlantic crossing. I wanted to ask about WiFi and WiFi extender on your boat. What is your set up? Not seen this covered by Ryan
great video!
I hate to admit this but after your first couple of videos I stopped watching, thought the dynamics was a little off. I’ve been watching again, for some time now, and have to say I’m glad I checked back in and found I was wrong. Keep up the good work and so happy we finally caught a fish!
I wanted to tell you that the bigger Tuna like a Squid lure about 10"rubber that bounces near surface , green seems to be best color but they hit many different color!!!.Bon Chanc
Very sorry that you got burned! You look like a French Press person! You can get either glass or stainless as large as 1 liter!
Awesome
Ryan have you learnt to fish yet ? you have such a nice setup with the rod and reel that it should be easy to reel the fish in (you reel in when lower the rod in a pumping action so you dont get tired and the fish don`t get a rest …. happy fishing :-)
Ryan is bodybuilder from Dachau :)
I would love the night watches!
Super video. Have you thought about some other down wind sails - gennaker, spinnaker etc? Other than the gusty bit at the beginning it seemed the perfect sail for these.
We have! We got another whisker pole which will allow us to fly our old Genoa wing on wing with our newer one. We also were gifted an awesome vintage gennaker which we can’t wait to try one of these days! Thanks for the nice comment :) /Sophie
I'm so glad your burn has healed. Ryan should get a little sun, or we should be warned to put on glare reducing glasses before he removes his shirt. WOW! Godspeed Polar Seal
Ryan is from Iowa - farmer tan ;)
Sehr KUHL!
BTW the thunderstorm footage at sea is SEHR KUHL, more!
We have lots of offshore sailing coming, so... yeah!!! 😃 /Sophie
you move forward not tooo fast monitoring radar and ais if you have the system / depending if you are near main shipping channels you keep an eye out for shipping
Would you feel more safe in high seas with a temporary hard rail on the centre section of the stern? Love what you are doing!
Love your videos and some exciting stuff going on.
Sophie your English is excellent, where did you learn?
Nice travel with a fantastic crew. Too often motor, but the wind is capricious in Mediterean sea.
Au fait, comment va la brulure?
When you guys used the engine for extended periods, did you go at cruising speed or at lower rpm's to conserve fuel?
How much fuel did you use during this trip?
How much fuel will you bring with you for the big crossing?
You need to get a much smaller left handed reel For captain Casper!
Great video!
24hr clock please.
Waoh. an hour just went by.
You know why you didn't want to leave Malta. Peat. He just has that certain Je Ne Sais Quois. Nobody wants to leave Peat. Women want him and men want to be him. Seriously that sail out of Valetta is epic.
Have Ryan sing you "Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone & we will pretend we are all alone" I learned that song in about 40 foot waves where you all are sailing.
a great video, who was the young lady artist singing at the end. Any plans for crew on your upcoming crossing? Thank you for many enjoyable sailing moments.
Get yourself the Shazam App!I have discovered great artists and songs from shazaming other peoples music .Works every time! (mostly)
Mire por si es a la Derecha del SOL (la ruta de antes )
Oh dear, already burned again with a hot liquid? I hope you feel better.
The kitchen is probably nothing for you. ;) Ryan sure wants to do it for you.
May be a French Press or an Italian coffee machine for the gas stove is not that dangerous.
Ryan doesn't look happy with anything...some things you just can't hide...face says it all...cheers!
I occasionally am asked why I’m grumpy when, in fact, I’m quite happy. It’s just the way my face relaxes. As an aside, a modern Asian philosopher observed that “North Americans must be unhappy because they’re always smiling”. You can’t always judge a book by its cover. 😜⛵️🇨🇦
Sophie you made realize something, that dolphins are not caught on a fishing line they never take the bait, very smart ones they are. : ) peace
They have hit fish that I’ve hooked when bottom fishing and accidentally got hooked. When this happens they brake the rod and ruin reel in seconds and are gone.
@@p.d.smithjr.3277 Wow did not know, thanks for replying to tell me. That would be something to catch on film. : ) peace
Hi guys, I see you have the engine running for hours and hours. ¿no problems of endurance? Thanks
He was going to manipulate the pole. Haha
This is hilarious! The fish know you want to catch them. It's the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Hour all over again. The taunting, the teasing. But, one day the fish will have become overly confident. Ryan will cross his learning curve, and one overly confident fish will be carefully and skillfully swung onto the deck to be renamed "dinner" as Sophie refers to the fish she talks to. Be warned you cunning fish. Sailors are rookies/apprentice fisherman only for a time.
Il faudrait une chaine d'une "longueur monotone"...
Do you really have to wear the lifejackets all the time ? No one else does. Lovely stuff.
Valid question... but turn it around. Do you really need to wear a seat belt all the time? Ryan
Nice answer, Ryan! Just keep them on!
wow was that really 55mins!
Yes... I can’t believe I made a video that long 😅 /Sophie
Didnt realize you had additional crew
Yes, we are trying the crew concept to see if we like it. - Ryan
Golly 55 minutes, editing this one must have been a herculean task.
I spent most of my week doing this 🤪 (but it was really fun 😊) /Sophie
@@RyanSophieSailing Best 55 minutes, I was glued. Must have been a great editor 😎
