Those words “ I cleaned yesterday” was the funniest statement I’ve heard in a very long time. Thank you for that moment of amusement and laughter.

@gppl77 Год назад

"I cleaned yesterday" at 7:74+ is the perfect Wes Anderson scene :)) you guys are great!:)

@paulyaron2410 Год назад

It’s sailing- plans always change. I took my Sabre 402 up the Champlain Canal last year in preparation to enter the St Lawrence in a few weeks with a goal of Gaspe this season. Don’t know what you draw but the Champlain Canal saves several hundred miles over the Erie for your goal.

@dave.willard Год назад

George Reeves (original Superman) used to dig cesspools between acting jobs. So… you guys are Superman! Great job 👏

@haydenwatson7987 Год назад

Wow. lots of work done this week and the new electrical stuff looks great. I am concerned about where you transitioned from the 1" to 1½"ø hose. When you go from a small diameter to large diameter, the speed of the water flow will reduce velocity of the $h1+ that is flowing through the hose. I assume that the new hose is 1" and the old is 1½"ø. That is a pipe that is 2.24 times more area than the 1"ø. The problem with that is that because the fluid slows down, the solids will fall out of suspension, and you will end up with more $h1+ in the hose than you did before. It would be much better to run the 1"ø hose all the way back to the tank or thru-hull so that the fast moving water will carry the solids out with the liquid.

@hansabbel Год назад

Ni är helt klart den bästa Svenska seglingskanalen just nu, den andra är en båttbyggarkanal! Bra jobbat!

@danschertner Год назад

It is awesome that you guys show the "glamorous" side of cruising in your videos. Its not always sandy beaches and Pina Coladas. I redid the electrical during lockdown on my First 235 so I know some of what Ryan has been going through, though, I think my space was a bit more cramped. ;-) I redid my head too so I get your pain Sophie as well. Again, a great vid and heck I haven't sailed either even though we have been on the lake for 3 weeks, halyards.... ugh. We will get sailing soon as you will too!

@spaRTan3246 Год назад

Soft-close lids add at least 5ft to the boat. Best upgrade ever… 💪😬

@anne-laurelereverend-fonta5583 10 месяцев назад

Have you ever considered installing dry composting toilets? It's one of the first things we did on our catamaran. It changes life (no more leakage problems, no more bad smells), space saving (we removed the waste tank) and less water usage. I hope to see you in the Pacific Ocean at some point ...

@jamiemorrison4086 Год назад

Sorry you’re sailing plans have changed but so glad you are still coming to Nova Scotia. You are going to love our province. If you need any help while in Nova Scotia please get in touch.

@shanep5121 Год назад

Sophie is a literal force of nature. The sailing world is as lucky as the video content world that she is here for us.

@ritschieee Год назад

If you want the toilet seat a little bit more forward, swap the holders in the back (swap sides) ;) The axles there are not centered :)

@tammy6992 Год назад

Yeah, good day. Thank you Sophie. Yeah, wherever you guys go we follow along. Thanks for the Content

@BillB23 Год назад

I'm reminded of a Benjamin Franklin quotation: Three removes equal one fire. I feel for ya.

@Georges-Doudoumis Год назад

Non mais... Tu blagues ! "I know. I will. I shall!" 😂 Mais blagues de côté, I have never envisioned you my dear Sophie making such jobs! Great content, as always! It's nice to see some French humor (sarcastique) in English! Quant à Ryan, you're a hero! You know why!!! Oh... and just keep cleanig!!! (The funniest moment of this episode!!!) Just follow your hearts, and everything will go smooth. Fair winds to your adventures!

@SCFoster Год назад

Brought back memories of rewiring the Beneteau 361 with the LiFePO4/Victron system. Spent most of a winter planning everything with Visio diagrams. Still took twice as long as expected, so I feel your pain. Nice result. Sorry to hear about your shortened plans. If you want a stop before the C&D Canal, I have an empty 40' slip at North East River Yacht Club you can use. My boat is on the hard right now and won't be launched until late July.

@anasfrh Год назад

The shit plumbing, the shit liquid, some shit 😂😂😂 loved it 😝

@rodhodgson2512 Год назад

Sorry about your “shitty” experience Sophie. My Lillian told me that if we ever have to change heads she is definitely not doing it, especially after seeing the crap falling out of the pipe. We are looking forward to seeing you guys in Australia some day. Rod & Lillian

@jstokvis Год назад

This is a seriously good channel and I for one will be watching whatever the content.

@tammy6992 Год назад

Definitely laughing at you guys banging on that pipe. Oh it’s so much work.

@brownnoise357 Год назад

Toilet Pipe Calcification is a problem caused by urine meeting Seawater apparently, and regularly Flushing with Neat Spirit Vinegar that you leave in the Pipes for a while, before Flushing it through with Fresh Spirit Vinegar, you keep repeating until you can’t hear the Vinegar working on the Calcification in the Pipe any longer, then just do the same thing regularly, to prevent the Calcification building up and reducing the internal diameter of the pipe, until it becomes Blocked. I haven’t tried this on my boat yet, as I’m still waiting to buy my next Sailboat, but Spirit Vinegar is cheap, and it is great for removing marks off gel coat, Non Skid, etc. Thankfully you can’t get Marine Spirit Vinegar, or it would cost hundreds of dollars a gallon. Best Wishes and Fair Winds. Bon in Wales. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌟🌟🌟

@MrBobVick Год назад

Where ever you are & what ever you do will make us happy if it makes you happy. Think Ryan should have done the head, but it was better with you doing it.

@danilouise Год назад

If you don't go up the canal, you should consider stopping at Block Island, Rhode Island! It's a great little island (and where I am from), with a good harbor! And it's sooo beautiful and fun!

@JjLl2221 Год назад

Looks like some good solid boat jobs getting done right. Bolstering the condition and value of polar seal is sound judgement with a view to PS2. Looking forward to your summer be it land or sea

@tartansailor Год назад

There is always the New-York Champlain Canal that takes you from NYC to Lake Champlain and then to the St-Lawrence River not so far from Montréal. It would cut the trip short by a month. The only factor to consider is that the boat should have less than 6.5feet of draft to pass the Richelieu River canal system. Salutations

@svechappe6075 Год назад

Was thinking that also. Could go straight up the Hudson and thru Lake Champlain to connect to the St. Lawrence as opposed to branching thru the eastern portion of the Erie Canal to shave off some time. Unfortunately, I think they are still going to be short of time at this point. You really need to get out of the Maritimes by mid-August and down below Maine by mid-September to avoid the Fall storm season.

@tammy6992 Год назад

Oh, I was expecting you guys to run a whole new pipe but I get it that’s cool

@laurierodriguez1432 Год назад

Plans can always be adjusted...your health is way more important!✌️💜

@davidnichols147 Год назад

Marvelous episode, Sophie installs the new electric head. Thank you both for sharing and we pray your stress doesn't deter either from great sailing this season.

@bayanicustodio3998 Год назад

Your wiring looked like some system wiring on an airplane that has been flying on contract for ages before coming back to main base for a long C check. Too many wiring patches that are no longer labeled or has printing worn out from grease and whatever. 😉 didn’t know there was certification for working on marine wiring. BTW, Sophie, that was a nice install. Every time my crew used to do new install, it could always that ONE FASTENER or contact would be missing or on back order.

@juliehoule8183 Год назад

You should come to Saint John NB in the Fundy bay and Cross the reversing fall and sail the Saint John River. We would ❤to have you over.

@jonunya3128 Год назад

I'd be really interested in seeing you cruise the Canadian Maritimes.. Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and Labrador. One of the best videos I've seen was Uma in Newfoundland, I'd love your take on it. As a warning.. Black Flies are of the Devil.

@jlsinchina Год назад

Such great production value! Bravo. Great laughs too!

@grahamlongley8298 Год назад

When I do toilet stuff I start by pumping loads of fresh water through first. That moves most of the efluent. Then pull the old WC out & start work

@RyanSophieSailing Год назад

Yep, I had even used a waste tank cleaner before. But there is only so much it can do!

@longglide1176 Год назад

Thanks for the honesty. Go for no stress for sure. Anywhere you go will be fun.

@EEB-pp9rp Год назад

Oh yeah, regarding the costs of building your own boat: Add in the cost of a place to live and associated expenses for 2 years. Is it still less than buying a good used boat that comes close enough to your needs/wants?

@craignewton5126 Год назад

If you prefer to use potable water to flush rather than seawater, use water from the sink faucet. I keep a tall water glass on the counter for this purpose.

@svechappe6075 Год назад

We only flush with fresh water to dramatically reduce, if not eliminate, odors from our heads. We pull over our sink faucet, which is on a pull-out shower head, to fill and rinse the bowl. Of course, if you are traveling in areas where fresh water is not always readily available, you probably don't want to waste your fresh water supply. But flushing with sea water is the number one reason that boat heads develop odors.

@Tomm9y Год назад

The complexity of modern boats! Ryan has done great work on the electricals. Sophie seems to have some time on her hands, she could do some technical boat courses/exams! After all every couple global cruisers I personally can both sail the boat and fix everthing from engine to electrics. Credit for the heads install. It seems Mr Bach needs to renamed St Jeff the patron saint of global sailors in Annapolis. I think Ryan deserves a Swan 108, but shouldn't tell Sophie there's an entire crew back there.

@armslength2618 Год назад

4-ought. We use less than that on 2300 volt 3-phase carrying 150 amps. I'd crank up your voltage a bit, maybe standardize on 600vAC3ph buses Easy to step down if you have to run a coffee maker or washing machine. Great if you have to directly power high-output reliable motors.

@akLeanne Год назад

You guys should try to go up to Maine. It's so beautiful up there. Cruise around that New England. I am a little biased because it's where I'm originally from. Just watch out for the lobster pods.

@RyanSophieSailing Год назад

That’s the plan! :)

@dtrguy2707 Год назад

Hey guys! I know it’s incredibly selfish… but wife and I were anxiously awaiting video documentary of the transit of the St Lawrence seaway as that’s how we’re getting out of Lake Erie someday 😢.

@RyanSophieSailing Год назад

I know… 🙁 was also really looking forward to a summer in Quebec! 😢

@tammy6992 Год назад

Ryan, great job, And Sophie love your Personna

@seawench555 Год назад

Wow, I couldn't work in that kaos, my mind is totally boggled. Well done to u both.😲🤣🌈

@captainsukycannon1167 Год назад

At least you’re in a good place. Soon you’ll be on your way. 🎉

@RyanSophieSailing Год назад

Exactly! :)

@TRCAdventures Год назад

That wiring install looks fantastic, great job! Lots of work to do it right and more work to make it look right, then more to make it look simple, I think you hit all three!

@Mar-vu9nx Год назад

Ryan are above standard. Really very good. But until today, has not found the short-circuit on Sophie. Doesn't stop to talking.

@TRCAdventures Год назад

@@Mar-vu9nx I ended up with a similar issue, where the manufacturer set earth to shore power not the engine block, so if it was plugged in to shore everything was working but when unplugged it was like polarity was reversed. Took a bit to figure that one out!

@sailinggizmo Год назад

We are just down the Bay from you guys 😊

@rogerboork8092 Год назад

There is time.... just use it, the way you feel right. Eller som du behagar... eller NI ska jag säga. Much love and I want you to know... we are here . all the way ':-)

@dennishopkins8046 Год назад

Sophie working on the toilet, priceless. A true woman in my book, not too many women would do that.😏

@wayneanderson1641 Год назад

Did you ever think of changing over to a 24-volt system?

@allanmoore7790 Год назад

Maybe go up to Maine, eat some Lobsters, then down to Sag Harbor and anchor near the beautiful schooner’s in the Hamptons. On the way back to Annapolis, motor down the rivers in New York City.

@lormar780 Год назад

Just wondering what and when is the boat show in Nova Scotia

@nooneswedish5142 Год назад

of-course i am not a patron but have you done an episode about boom furling main sail systems ?

@mcouture8169 9 месяцев назад

Do you think it would be wise to install smoke detectors in the battery (even engine) compartments? In my defense, I'm a safety instructor and the first thing that always comes to my mind is "what if?" so I apologize if this would be excessive redundancy with the BMS already in place.

@davidross5291 Год назад

Best estimate times two plus 20%. Works for cost as well as time :/

Are you sure the water connection small hose connects to the big poop hose 🤔

@stevenplancich6449 Год назад

Boo Hoo for You😜 Ya think Ya would learn after 6 years…What a unremarkable Episode

@searlearnold2867 Год назад

In this episode : Ryan gives an Onlyfans preview, Sophie mounts the new toilet with a blender function, pixilated poop and the electrical system tries to escape.

@curacao11 Год назад

😎

@nixl3518 Год назад

As much as I love watching, you guys do your thing I must say that I skipped over the entire destruction and reinstallation of your toilet. It’s one particular area where boats are concerned, and even where they’re not concerned, that I would like to have nothing to do with, so it was just not at all entertaining to watch you struggle Sophie . I must add that I have seen toilet struggles before on Delos and that was plenty. But it seems to be a prevalent problem with all boats that their sewage plumbing is problematic and for all the years that boat builders have been building boats, that they cannot come up with a better system is just tragic.

@axelSixtySix Год назад

J'adore ta combi Sophie. 👍(voilà, tu es officiellement influenceuse) Je m'en payerai bien une du genre. C'est militaire ? C'est quel pays ? Quelle armée ?

@lyfandeth Год назад

If you had installed an Incinolet there would have been only two wires. No hoses, no pipes!

How long has Ryan been in the closet? But nice toilet install. LOL!!

@kidonaboat Год назад

Anyone interested in helping move my new(to me) 50' catamaran out of St Augustine area? I have to move it by June 1st because the dockage runs out. Want to get it up to Maine eventually but if anyone out there interested, even a leg of the trip...let me know. Any fans free for a couple weeks? Anyone? No experience needed.

@tedgalperalper1828 Год назад

Do you ever get tired of boating? I know you have a number of months on land but often in life a hobby becomes a job when you do too much of it.

Nothing like seeing other sailors perform Boat gymnastics,after do you use ben-gay like I do ?

@SeaYaSailing Год назад

I never understood, why, boat owners do not have a pair of swimmer nose plugs on board for the gagging stinky jobs. I do, and they are a game changer.....lol.....

Ryan you are one lucky man! Sophie is beautiful, handy and just plain HOT!

@Mar-vu9nx Год назад

Dear gorgeous couple. I could live 4 ever with both, hard working, inteligent andgood souls. But totally unnecessary are talking with the dog. Complaint having to mutch "winter cloths. Etc. Just throw everything you do not need away! Also absolutly not funny are your insenations.

@RyanSophieSailing Год назад

I talk to my dog all the time and I love it 😘

@Mar-vu9nx Год назад

@Ryan & Sophie Sailing there are other nice things to entertain, invest in your culture. What about a baby? Isn't like a dog, a monologue.

@Mar-vu9nx Год назад

@Ryan & Sophie Sailing Dear Sophie, If someone wants to watch, talking's with dog's, they're going to yotube dog channel's. Your channel is a "Sailing" channel.

@Mar-vu9nx Год назад

@Ryan & Sophie Sailing Please, clarification: Are you running the yotube channel for fun, your self, or to make some additional revenews & conquer PATREONS.

@Mar-vu9nx Год назад

@Ryan & Sophie Sailing We all now whay, it never complaints. Please come back, also talk to humans. We love you
