I know nothing about sailing. I have only watched videos of intrepid spirits like you guys cross oceans. Fantastic. Yours is the "rolliest" boat I have ever seen in any of all the videos I have seen. Thank you for explaining why.
Wow. A sailing channel that shows sailing and sail adjustments rather than just talking about them. Show more actual sailing. Thanks. Liked, subscribed and belled!
That was an awesome video showing the challenges and rewards (working toilet) of a long passage. Nice shout out to Gary for the successful repair. Beautiful spinnaker too. Have fun, be safe, and enjoy One Life 🇺🇸🙏👏🏻🚜🤗.
I sailed around the world in the early '90s. A boat almost same size and configuration as One Life. Also had a very very similar philosophy and approach to blue water sailing. All this makes it super fun to watch your videos😊
Don't just let these moments glide past. Life is about collecting memories. A bucket list is only worth your time when you realize you need a bigger bucket.😁
Best boat hack.. Remove the old toilet pump, us a maciator on the out side and a saltwater pump for the in. Each on their own switch. This will change boating for you.
Just love your channel! Your videos are so raw and real. ( I don’t have a boat, or know anything about sailing) You show sailing in the real world! Stay safe guys!👍🥰🥰🏴
It's great to see you guys interacting so well together, it can't be easy in such a small environment. ... all I can see is that its truly a relaxes team effort. I'm pleased to see both of you using safety kit when working with sails. I wish you continued safe sailing.
That has to be a mood destroyer crapping in a bucket on the high seas. I just could not muster the courage to do something like this but I love the story.
Straight over the rail… drag a wash cloth behind on a rope, use it, drop it back in. Then you don’t mess up the bucket. Don’t worry, you’ll find the right perch.
So is altering course a point or two. More comfort, less roll, Better VMG, The main can be used for both propulsion and roll damping. What's not to like?
It's great to see ypu are both feeling better and all is well! You're both in my prayers for a safe journey to the other side. Thanks for sharing your journey! ❤ ⛵️
I think Gary should call Home Depot to see about endorsement for their nice Orange buckets😂 great video about the fun of Ocean passages and head issues. ❤❤
Made my morning coffee when I saw your video! Nice spinnaker. Glad it came down safely. Enjoying your passage videos. Looking forward to the next. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Glad you got into the ocean groove. Did the Atlantic South and North 4 times in the late 1990's and the ocean passages were the best. Time exclusively for yourself as we were max 3 people at a time.
Need one of those toilet seats that slides in a receiver hitch on a truck. Mount a receiver on the transom. That way you can pull your dingy or have a toilet on the transom. Fasten your seat belt and let it go overboard.
the romance of a broken toilet and 5 minutes too late reducing sail . . . as jimmy sang, "its for the stories we can tell." keep on telling. it is truly romantic in a way few will ever know like you.
Not on the boat, but at 31:46 with that sky in the horizon, I thought that why are they putting up the spinnaker, well yeah. Glad nothing bad happened. Thanks for the video!
Hey! Good to hear from y’all! I can’t imagine fixing a cra**er in the middle of the ocean!🤣 Prayers, blue skies, and smooth sailing for the rest of the way. Looking forward to next episode!
Hey guys - so cool that you are out there - shew you have done great - well done man.. Nice scuba diving ahead of you in FP... please what are your night watch shifts - and how is satrlink worong out.. So happy for you.. When the boss says reef - reef..
Every boat I have bought...I always buy new heads...haha...solves some of the toilet drama..who doesn't hate boat head drama..hahah..Gary's face after the fix...hahaha...what can I say..hahah (love all the effort you all do like the drone shots and all of that)
So glad to see this update. I was getting very worried but found you on Instagram, so I was happy to see you got to French Polynesia! YAY! Great videos and I really enjoy watching them. I have to suggest to buy some eyeglasses chains/straps to wear. I lost my favorite sunglasses while sailing and my dad lost his eyeglasses, which was really bad as he has Astigmatism and made it harder for him to see. You both stay safe!
Hi Nancy! Thank you! Yes, our videos are behind real time. We are safe and sound! Appreciate the tip on the sunglass strap. Gary has one that he uses for his sunnies but we need them for our glasses!
Love your videos guys, I seem to learn more from you guys than any other channel and it is very helpful as we are looking to set off next march up the east coast of Australia. I also love your boat works series as well. If you get to Australia maybe you could look us up. Keep the awesome videos coming, they are great.
Hi there! We are happy to hear you are learning some things from our videos. Good luck to you on your future journey. We hope to make it to Australia at some point! Maybe we will cross paths one day. ⛵🙌
Glad to see you two healthy and still chugging along, mucho courage out there. I'll stick with my coastal cruising thank you. Some years back one of my sailboats had two heads. Always wanted to remove second one and make tool storage/sail locker out of it plus would get rid of a thru hull. But after seeing your trouble that might be justification to leave second head in boat. Good luck, of course great video.
Hey Jack! Thank you! We always thought having two heads would just be more things to fix....but when we were without one, we certainly wished we had two! Grass is always greener... 💚
Wow! Great filming and content. We are a sailing couple as well, rarely have extra crew, so while we are 20 years ahead of you in age, you are about 20,000 sailing miles ahead of us and your videos are extremely informative as well as entertaining. Well done.
Baggy wrinkles are not suitable for running rigging. Sisal and hemp being in short supply, inexpensive plastic boots are available for use on spreader tips. For my money, I would have simply relocated the preventer a notch or two.
I watched a few scattered videos and how I ever stumbled across these videos I'll never know, but I went back to video 1 and binged watch this and finished 9/30/23 central time, Missouri and realized you two are in the pacific ocean at this time, wow! I feel like I'm right there with you. I wish you 2 all the best and cannot wait until the next video. Brook, you really do a great job with the videos. Gary, I can relate to you fixing everything, and Brook does her share, too. Safe sailing to you both.
Great video you two hope to be where you are in a few years can’t tell you how much inspiration I get from watching these videos along with Delos and a couple others so thanks for what you do
Enjoyed the video showing vairioius issues and challenges you guys are facing. Interesting to hear about the different sail configurations you have considered and tried. Through this you guys continue to show a positive attitude and outlook. Thanks for sharing with us. All the best...
I love the videos guys!! Every time you threw one of those Chicken Dolphins back in I screamed...nooooooo!!!! That's fresh meat and tasty too. No way would I have done that but I am a bit of a rogue at times...lol! Enjoy the sailing and the time together!!!!
We found sailing with just spinnaker, without the main, it was very rolly. When we hoisted the main, we found it was much more stable. Thanks for sharing your videos.
This documentary of the crossing is definitely in the top echelon. Good story telling and cinema, you got me I’m going back to episode one for a binge, wahay.
Good seeing you again this week happy to see all is going well. All good here in OBX, dodged a couple potential storms and fingers crossed our luck continues. Hope the same for you guys. Ed
I saw a review of a yacht the other day where they commented that the counter really needed a ledge, you just showed us why! 3:43 and I'm talkative this morning. BTW, new sub, I'm really pleased, you two goofs bring a smile to my morning, what else in life can we really hope for?
Thanks for joining our channel, Michael! When we first bought the boat we were total newbs to sailing and I (Brooke) wondered why there were ledges on every surface. 😂 I quickly learned why. Cheers!
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice ride guys 🎉 You did pass up some sweet trading Mahi. Oh well. Thanks for a great episode. 👍🏻🙌🏻 See you next time.✨ 🌊 💨 ⛵️ 🏝️ 👙 🌞 ✨
the only problem with Composting toilets is where do you keep all that Biomass for them that they need? A Seawater toilet you bring in the Water, flush and dump, or holding tank while at Anchor. Only Reak issue is urine reacts with Seawater, and the pipework starts to build up a calcium lining, so soak them with Spirit Vinegar regularly to clean that off the pipes. I have heard a number of people saying to soak with bleach prior to doing the Vinegar soak, Sounds OK, but I haven't had a chance to try it myself yet. Spirit Vinegar is nice for removing scuffs and stains from Non slip decks as well, just brush on with a deck brush, leave to work then rinse off. Spirit Vinegar can be really cheap to stock up with, and if you close the seacocks, can freshen up the sink piping from Galley and sinks in heads too. Chlorine in Bleach (especially the weak standard stuff ) normally is gone really fast too. Friend's wife, ex Waterboard employee, cleans up chlorinated tap water by filling a jug, and popping it in the fridge overnight, and in the morning, Chlorine free water. 👍 Safe Travels and Fair Winds. Bob. ⛵️✨️✨️✨️❤️
@@brownnoise357 storing the media to cover is a definite consideration, but with a low powered fan to vent and a stirring function, it dessicates pretty quickly and you don't need a huge amount of media for a couple of weeks.
Great video, appreciated Gary's sail setup explanation while going dead downwind. The question just entered my mind and Gary explained. Great video, nice editing.
Thanks guy's! I'm absolutely loving watching your pacific adventure and the day to day struggles you have along the way! Take care and safe travels guy's 👍
Just started watching this past week and I'm hooked, thanks. Also, my wife has the same type of spinnaker story on Lake Michigan as I was just like Gary and a bit slow on listening to her. I have learned my lesson. Keep up with the wonderful videos and be safe.
I'm curious, have either of you sailed across the equator before? Was there a ceremony, offerings to Neptune... to transform from Pollywags to Shellbacks... is it even official if a Shellback doesn't preside over the ceremony... lol
It’s great to see and hear all about the day to day life on passages. Thank you for not rushing through this and spreading it over more than one video!
Sailing One Life be safe and enjoy freedom,how the Fishing doing? Have to try to get in touch with Sailing Parley Revival Yet? Hope you can Catch some Fresh Sushi. Peace Be With You the Two of you.
Thanks for the Reply be Safe a hope King Neptune will bless you at the Equator and gives up one of His Friend for you. Please show this Blessing @@SailingOneLife
Brooke and Gary - you guys are rockin’ this sh*t !! This was a fantastic episode ! Your current editing style is excellent. Can’t wait to see the conclusion of this epic first time Pacific Ocean crossing. And speaking of which, CONGRATULATIONS as not only did you achieve this huge milestone but you two are now Shellbacks 🤙🏼⛵️ You two are rapidly becoming one of my top 3 sailing channels. ( and sorry, I’m not saying who is in which position of my top 3 ) 😊
Good video 👍yea Brooke was right about the last spinnaker,in rain and clouds wind can speed up without a warning ⚠️ Enjoyed all but the toilet repair part 😵💫felt sorry for Gary.Happy you are back at sea sailing again!!!!!❤
Good to catch up with you guys. I love how you handle all situations as a team. Safe passage. All the film of the caught mahi-mahi makes me want to run up to the Sandbar for some fish tacos.
@@SailingOneLife Actually, as I was going out the door, a friend called and said she was heading up to Grills at the Port to hear another friend of our's band play. So we ended up there. I'll save the fish tacos for another day. 😁
