It was the end of November as we set sail from England bound for the Caribbean on Distant Shores I. We have 2 friends aboard as crew as we set off from Las Palmas for the 3000 mile crossing to the Caribbean. We celebrate New Years at sea, lots of fast sailing, and then surprisingly have to deal with unusual light winds as we approach Antigua.

While we're having our new boat built we're putting up episodes of our shows from earlier seasons of Distant Shores.

You guys are the original vloggers! Thanks for all the years of videos, I used to watch on broadcast tv, loved your sailing and trips! Now I watch sailing on you tube all the time, but you guys are the original, and set the bar so high. Thanks for sharing!!

@DistantShoresTV 7 лет назад

Thanks for your kind words Eddie! We're excited to have YT now to add in to our TV reach. So easy for everyone to access sailing video!

Like your videos! Such a calm voice. I will do an Atlantic crossing like this, G-d willing, in the next few years. Happy sailing!

I like that you're revisiting the older footage. Great idea!

You're welcome +Sail before Sunset!

I realize that I am in the minority here, but, while I love your video and the trip looks like a great time, being trapped on a boat with 3 other people for 3 weeks just seems like hell on earth to me. Doing it solo, if I had the ability, would be WAAAAAY more enjoyable to me. Thank you for all your informative and entertaining videos.

You two have given me the sailing bug so bad!

@ZoneTelevision 7 лет назад

Trimaran would do really well in light winds. .. The tips on the sails and rigging are invaluable Thanks.

@DistantShoresTV 7 лет назад

It would be interesting to see a trimaran at sea Zone! We have never spotted a tri on the ocean so far.

@ZoneTelevision 6 лет назад

Distant Shores TV can hardly wait to see your new Southerly

@markyoung9497 5 лет назад

Cool I am doing the trek in October, then on up through the triangle to Bahamas via Virgin Islands (providing they have recovered this year). Motor Cruiser MY, 14knts.

@diesel748 7 лет назад

Great video, DS. I'd love to crew on an ocean crossing. It's on the bucket list.

@DistantShoresTV 7 лет назад

Thanks Dan glad you enjoyed it! You'll do a passage some day!

@svgitana2499 7 лет назад

I gotta say, I really enjoy watching your videos 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻🙏🏻

@DistantShoresTV 7 лет назад

Thanks VERY much for your kind words Gitana!

@svgitana2499 7 лет назад

Distant Shores TV thank you guys, your videos have inspired generations of new cruisers, I honestly think you've made cruising main stream! 👍🏻 You certainly inspired me to change my lifestyle and head out into the world of cruising full time! We are starting our journey next May 🙏🏻🙏🏻

@DistantShoresTV 7 лет назад

Wow thanks Gitana... I might quote you on that ! Where are you starting out from next May?

@svgitana2499 7 лет назад

Distant Shores TV lol, go right ahead, I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks that.

@svgitana2499 7 лет назад

Distant Shores TV not sure yet, my current sailboat is in Puerto Rico, it's a Hans christian 33 but my wife is a bit of a size queen so we might move up to a 38. We are heading to San Francisco on Wednesday to look at a Baba 40 that is in great shape. As you can see I like double enders and full keel botes 😇

@llarlee4864 6 лет назад

Hi Paul and Cheryl. I have enjoyed your videos for several years now. They are very informative and interesting. The part where you (Paul) used the radio caused me to check out your name at RAC. Interesting callsign (I presume that it's you :) ). Hopefully we'll meet up on the air someday if so. Keep making the vids and have a great day. Fair winds and following seas! 73

@DistantShoresTV 6 лет назад

Thanks for your kind words! See you out there and 73's

@VoyagesofNormanJames 7 лет назад

A great re-jigging of the video Paul, really enjoyed it. It will be interesting to see what daily mileage DSIII can make !!

@DistantShoresTV 7 лет назад

Glad you enjoyed it Rob. I'm sure DSIII will be quite a bit faster as will your new boat! :-)

@dgourdine50 7 лет назад

Great Video! Btw, in what position did you have the centerboard while downwind in the trades? Looking at southerly as a boat for myself in the future

@DistantShoresTV 7 лет назад

Thanks +D Gourdine ! Most of the time we have the keel swung up between 1/3 and 2/3 up... as it swings aft and up into the hull that helps us go downwind. If the seas are small then sometimes we put it all the way up.

Hi, we are planning our first crossing this November.... I noticed that you have an SSB radio on board. Any hints or tips on best / most used frequencies for the crossing? Do you have / have you used or any other experience of using a Pactor modem with the set to recieve weather gribs and email? Kind regards - Sail safe!

@Fumingzeus 7 лет назад

Great video...how do you plan for your shopping trips ie meals drinks and all the things needed on a long voyage 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

@theneck5157 6 лет назад

Wow that was beautiful with the lights for Christmas.. can you tell me where that was I really couldn’t hear what you said ?? Madira?

@320ifq 7 лет назад

Leaving the uk in November you could have encountered adverse weather in the channel or off the coast of France and Portugal. Was the late departure so you could arrive in the Caribbean after the hurricane season?

@DistantShoresTV 7 лет назад

Yes Lucas - we were worried about bad weather ... our boat was delayed from the builder by 3 months and it pushed us into the late crossing. When we realized it was going to mean crossing Biscay so late I studied the weather patterns over the previous 10 years and looked out for the right weather to get a window. In the end it meant motoring most of the way but with really large swells!

@SK22000 6 лет назад

Where do you put all of those supplies? That’s a great way to spend New Years

@guilhermeeinloft3525 6 лет назад

Espetacular, Could you send the bread recipe?

@weizenbrot 7 лет назад

Do you fear hitting (half-)sunken containers or other obstacles which are not visible while crossing the Atlantic ocean?

@PaleBlueDotCitizen 7 лет назад

Why do you need watches? Can't you rely on AIS as single-handers do? Thanks.

@gmac3675 7 лет назад

I understood that you guys are Canadian, yet you are flying a British ensign??

@theneck5157 6 лет назад

I really want to sail well be a passenger on a sail boat to see if I would enjoy buying a boat and sailing the problem is I’m 48 am I to old to start this new chapter?? I literally have no experience with boats or the ocean

@DistantShoresTV 6 лет назад

We meet many people your age and older just getting started. I must say most people out sailing these days are older than 48. Its just that You-Tubers tend to be younger since they're trying to earn while sailing 👍😊

@servful 7 лет назад

Hello, so I'm in the process of learning how to Sail and just passed the class to Skipper a boat and I'm selling my property to buy a sail boat but how do you guys keep going financially if you don't mind me asking?
