Hi there! I am Dorian (S.V. Arcanum). My wife and I started following your exploits when you made it to French Polynesia. In reviewing your 'rounding the Horn' episode, out "hats are off to yas' on this epic adventure. You two pulled off something no other couples or 'pop' cruising RU-vid channel family/group has attempted; to my knowledge? Not gonna get you into Guiness' records, but you it will certainly be one of those struggles, and accomplishments you will never forget! Wow. Just watched your arrival in Pago Pago. Another feat. Fair Winds and safety to you both, from a slightly older couple (65, 69) who may not have the remaining muscle for something like repeating Slocum's journey, but we are looking to head straight SSW from the Oregon Coast for some fresh coconuts. Peace! (Cathy and) Dorian
Attached a girl Roxy , you're likely one of less than a handful off dogs too have ever set eyes on the horn. GREAT EPISODE GUY'S , what an amazing achievement to have accomplished. It is so Great that you brought us all there with you, a place I'll mot ever see in my life, so THANK YOU CHEERS AND FAIR WINDS Steve h.
Wow, loved it! The best! As a US Sailing instructor, teaching mostly around and out the Golden Gate. The N pacific can be quite similar to this. We do our best to avoid conditions like This but it happens. I sit and watch this and you two are TEXT BOOK right on! Love your communications and team work. This is where the magic happens. This video should be required viewing for some of our more challenging classes. Your procedures and executions are so right on! And on top of all this your videoing all of it!! I just have one thing that kept bugging me. The open companionway. I kept saying “close it close it”. Ha ha. Obviously no roguish or freakish waves made you regret it. But if you were going to find one (even a smallish one), this might be a good place! Yes, guilty, had a number of gallons come in. And wiped out some of the nav station. Again, thanks for this wonderful version of this passage. I’ll keep watching with a grin on my face!
One for the sailing officianados. It's all we need, no music or stunts, just the reality of what you achieved. Great stuff and congratulations again for making it safely round.
Impressive and great sailing. I watched the video with more voice over and music but this one beats it. An old architect once said that "less is more" ;)
i felt the spray through my screen. Thank you for sharing the way it's meant be shared, and taking us on board. Fabulous accomplishment! your joy is contagious. You make a dream team. Well done!
Awesome. Thanks for the no-filter footage. Team work makes the dream work. Y’all da legend! The best 2-person & 1-dog sailor crew ever. What a nice partnership under extreme conditions. Thanks for the special edition episode. 👏🏻
Outstanding job in hairy sailing conditions! You've got a reason to celebrate, few have rounded the Horn with that kind of class to be able to make that claim!
You two are true sailors choosing Cape Horn and not staying between Cancer and Capricorn and circumnavigating via the Panama canal and the Suez canal. I trust you plan to go around the Cape of Good Hope my home town. I Salute you both.
Epic. Best sailing video I have ever seen on RU-vid. Original or Re-mastered it's still the same heart pounding adventure. Very elite group of people you all and Roxy joined. Keep having fun and stay safe. Bill
This is absolutely amazing, even more amazing this second time. This is indeed what sailing is. (I love music but I don't 'hear' music in my head when I experience or remember sailing.) I've been under sail far from land, but our max winds were about 35 knots, and not Cape Horn. (If Google was run by smart people they'd send you $100k for recording an absolutely incredible experience made by people who actually know what they are doing. Then they'd tell the world about it.) Let's see if I can kick in.
This video is amazing, y’all! I feel like I was there with you, or at least I feel as close to being there as I ever have. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and I definitely caught it. Thanks for sharing this edit!
That was incredible footage ...the level of competence is high , communication , key . well done ! Personally we dont have this ambition for cape horn or even crossing the Atlantic , i'll stay home and sail our home waters " Sthlm Skärgård" -> Stockholms Archipelago and the Med :D CHeers
You're in North-North Atlantic territory there. Cape Horn is 56 South and in the Northern Hemisphere 56 gets you to Edinburgh latitude. London-Amsterdam-Berlin already at 52N. The Atlantic can be wild and its North Sea branch may get to even wilder sea states incidentally. That makes rounding Cape Horn no less of a mean feat. Great watching material.
Some of the footage looking aft from the camera mounted by the companionway almost looks like it was filmed on a greenscreen (I mean that in a good way, it really captures how unreal it must be…)
Definitely not! They vary from country to country and likely are based on a variety of videos you watch or whatever demographic information they have on you 🙂🙃 Hope you had some funny ones!
@@SailingSweetRuca Can't be. Never in my life have I watched a video about putting a spoon to my ear and banging on it with another spoon or watched a video about stuck poop.
