Nice how you leave music off so viewers can enjoy the sounds of the boat and the ocean ..kind of like Sailing Cloudy Bay couple would do often on their channel. Enjoying your channel!
You guys are doing what I have dreamed or all my life, with all the great improvments you have made to the boat it has become a true ocean crossing boat. Wow, that must have cost plenty, and needing deep pockets. Enjoy the ride. Ron
Right behind you guys! Just Crossed the Carribean Sea, chilling in San blas for a couple of weeks! Great production on this vid! I know how hard it is to film and show a story like this
Just found your channel. Quite nice. I don't normally watch couples channels these days...obvious reasons. Nice mix of sailing, tactics and boat fix-it. Good music. Subbed. Cheers.
A most excellent episode! Whoever is editing, is killing it!! You guy's are amongst the best @ capturing the size of the waves coming from behind. It seem a tricky thing to capture the true sea state? Thanx for the share.
Wow. So nice that you are sharing this with us. You are really making great video’s to watch 👏love them 👍I must be patient but can’t wait for the next 🤭😇
I’ve always dreamt to circumnavigate the globe via sailing, I can’t imagine what type of lifestyle it must be, how surreal and mind expanding it must be. Granted, it’s an incredible challenge especially just transiting (keyword Just!) the Pacific!?… I mean, it’s quite an incredible journey and an even more spectacular experience. What sort of things go through the mind when on the water with so much open water, hundreds of not thousands of miles from any land!? Especially the sort of intimacy in the connection to the elements, the water? The weather, the wind? It must be humbling; and, It has to be a powerful experience, one that truly gives much life and likely changes one’s perspective.? I really would love to experience this in my life, at least once! Cheers for what you guys do and thank you for sharing :) I’ve only ever spent several hours at anytime on the open seas (relatively), on a powered vessel albeit, and I fell in love! I can only imagine days, weeks even at a time how that must feel… Maybe scary at times? I’d love to hear how this lifestyle and your journeys like that has been for you both; how is experiencing that journey for you been like? From just this footage alone, it’s work, a lot, but you handle everything calmly, Cool and collected! :)
Thanks for all your kind words here mate. To answer you questions, yes it was an amazing experience and it really does change your perspective on many things. The most common thing crossing our minds when offshore is hoping that nothing breaks or malfunctions. Thanks for tuning in 🤙
Been following a while . Nice to see what you do . Question. As I am preparing to set sail in 23 for some years . Are you satisfied wint de windgenerator? Or not ? Hoping to hear from you Stay safe and fair winds
Thankyou and great to have you onboard. Yes we are happy with the silentwind. On passage especially downwind you cannot rely on it and sometimes we wish instead to have a hydro generator. Although at anchor it has been great and keeps our charge up all night with good Tradewinds.
@@SailingBeaver thanks for the info . How is the noise at anker you here all sorts off stories about vibration and all We are from Belgium and wil start in 23 to sail up north around the Baltic sea spent a winter in Sweden 🇸🇪 after cross from Norway 🇳🇴 to Shetland and down trough Scotland towards the rest of the 🌎 .
It is not too bad to be honest and doesn't really bother us when we know we are getting charge during the night. But you can turn on a manual break if you want it to stop and dont need the charge. Wow that sounds like an epic route to take, we really want to go back up there and explore more! Really miss it! Best of luck on your journey!
Have a nice trip guys, my friend Fatih aksu (blue horizon_boat name) left Salinas for the pacific crossing on January 22, if you see him say hi for me,,good luck
Thank you sir. No SSB onboard, we decided to go down the Iridium pathway when we left Europe for the ease of instillation, although we would like to have an SSB onboard.
@@SailingBeaver A decade ago I had one with a Pactor modem so I could get GRIB charts when at sea. But IridiumGo and Predict Wind has now made all weather and communication so much easier. What I still like about SSB is the ability to connect with other boats that are out of VHF range. Installations are much easier these days with GAM-SSB antennas and KISS- SSB Ground radials. Although I have a similar setup to yours, I am toying with the idea of adding an SSB if I can find one in good condition at a reasonable price.
Some food for thought there, thank you! Although we love the ease of use with the PredictWind setup we don’t like the $140US per month fees for intermittent use and the lack of backup. Maybe an SSB is a future option for us, cheers for the intel.
@@SailingBeaver An used SSB would cost, in the US, about $1700-$2200 for everything, including what one would need to install one and get it working. SailMail is $200 per year. But it really isn't an adequate replacement for your IridiumGo and Predict Wind set up.
@@SailingBeaver The voices of both Norwegians and Australians go up in tone at the end of every sentence. Which makes everything they say sound like a question. Used to confuse the hell out of me when I had an agency in Oslo. I was forever asking, "Was that a question?"
Two things. Where the F**k is the part where you pass the Panama canal? Oh shoot me. That was the last one.🥴 Second. Rob seems like a nice and chill guy, but he could take a page out of his captains book and get a SERIOUS haircut and a shave. Ya look like a bum mate.😄 The rest was fantastic. Thanks.
Haha, the captain has a little beard and hair envy 👶. Glad you enjoyed! Trust you found last weeks panama canal episode but just in case I’ll put it here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PlYZrEanHcQ.html
