My First Time Solo Sailing my 42' Sailboat 

So happy for you. When I saw you jump the solenoid with the screwdriver, I knew "she had what it takes." Fair winds on your adventures.

Such a large and beautiful sailing vessel. You are an amazing sailor!

It's so awesome that you got to spend that time with your parents, sharing in such an amazing adventure! I bet they feel just as fortunate or more!

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

Just found this channel and I love it. I grew up in and spent 27 years in Nanaimo before moving to the prairies and away from the sea. My dad worked on the Ferries and used to bring me to work with him when I was young. I love the ocean and have a dream of living in a sailboat that has been with me since I can remember. I also spent some time on the fish farms north of Quadra Island. It’s hard to explain a connection to the sea. I like this Chanel because you seem to just be unapologetically you. You film things as they are and don’t seem to edit much out. I did notice that your camera developed some extremely unfortunate blurry spots at times in this video, but you seem to have fixed that. ;). I enjoyed watching you and your dad sail. You’re over-comers. I’d guess you have to be when you spend that much time on the sea. When you jumped the starter I became a major fanboy, You guys are my people. I wish you the very best and hope to see more raw and unedited content, as it helps big time in understanding the potential bullshit one encounters when sailing. It’s also nice to see someone who is just living and is not performing. Stay well, Rob.

You are the consummate sailor! Years of experience and mechanical capabilities make for solutions that you accomplish so well! You are a power house of sailing! Those were touching words for your parents, you are a close family which is wonderful😊.Fun comment: We're anchored in Mag Bay now where we were anchored behind your parents on their 51ft sailboat in 2007. There was a decent southerly blow and we were a little worried about the big sailboat in front of us! But it turns out they had good ground tackle!...We enjoy watching your videos where your sweet soul shines through....Good luck on the Amazing Race! We'll be looking for your videos when you return!...❤

You are such a rockstar!!!

Kaylene this was so good!! It’s funny because even though some of us know how things went on your adventure, it’s awesome to see it unfold! Great cliffhanger at the end 😎🫣 Can’t wait for next episode!!

You are a star kiddo. Thanks for continuing the story.

😊👍🏼 yaaay! God job Jaylene!

You get this!

Looks like you had a great time

Great video. We are in Salvador, Brazil, sailed from Mindelo, Cape Verde, being a good stop. You are going to regret not crossing the equator, respectfully suggesting an early January departure from Mindelo, making it to Salvador in time for Carnival in February.

Great video

Woot woot!

Your foresail is a short jib. More for windy climate. If monies are available try for a genoa , it lies closer to the boat deck and more speed. thx for the video, hope the engine gets going. x SV Amanda

Yo GIRL!! Nice see a new vid!

That's twice you've been cheeky, lol
