Sailing Sweet Ruca
United States
Registrace 2. 04. 2019
We are two racing sailors that decided to go cruising. We sold it all, bought a sailboat, re-fit it ourselves for offshore sailing, and took off into the ocean with the goal of sailing around the world via the capes. Yes, the hard way!
A sailing couple from the fresh water of the Great Lakes, Kate is a middle school Spanish teacher and Curtis is an Entrepreneur. Together we have lots of sailboat racing experience, but cruising presented a new challenge with lots to learn. We are learning lots, from anchoring, to fishing, to off-the-grid systems, and even diving into the underwater world of freediving and scuba diving.
We watched the sailing CZcams channels like Delos, Sailing La Vagabonde, Tula’s Endless Summer, and Gone With the Wynn’s before leaving and like them wanted to share our sailing and diving adventures with you. Paying it forward with our own vlog. We would love for you to follow along as we visit new places, experience new cultures, and challenge ourselves.

You won't believe what happens when sailors call in reinforcements for a situation that the little boats can't handle! #rescue #superyacht #travel A large motor yacht is drifting towards a prestine beach in a storm. The sailing yachts and their small dinghies are no match for a 60 foot yacht adrift in heavy winds and can do nothing to save it from beaching and a potential environmental disaster...

Hey I'm 91 episodes in, nice boat, I have not sailed in 40 years it WA a 27 foot boat my buddy built. Curtis how do you your cap on when Kate seems like she will fly off. It is so unreal you tangled with a whale, I did see the damage with the pictures, I guess we didn't see the same. Glade you were able to make repairs. Fair winds and following seas. You two are fun.
🙏 Bless you
Well done. Thanks.
👏👏👏
Always enjoy your vids.thx guys
Guys quick question 🙋🏽.. what happened with your dog? How easy is it for Samoa, and port Williams before to enter sailing with agriculture issues ? Or health procedures? I really want to follow your route ! I did this before with my dad via Panama but I did not have a dog on board. Thnks !! Good winds
Cook’s Bay was the inspiration for Jimmy Buffett’s “One Particular Harbor”. What a spectacular slice of heaven
Yeah, the super yacht does nothing for me.
Liked the blow by blow of the gybe, and the discussion of the route plan. Thanks "A" team 😊
Thanks for another good one! Yep, take it when you can get it.
Nice sailing in favorable conditions, your right to keep on making miles in an opportunity like that!
This episode has it all. Sexy dancing, some drama in the customs, beautiful views and a solid political message from the captain.
I loved all the dancing in the beginning. Love the drone footage 😊 beautiful island shots. Poetry was a great touch. I see Roxy wasn't sticking around for the for the gybe ho
On to another amazing adventure !
Nice episode. Thanks for reading the poem. Great work mixing the footage with the music and the poem. Y’all are the best. Roxy is a lucky dog for having y’all around her all the time. Safe sailing ⛵️.
True pro's 👍
Is there a way to extend your stay for like three months so that you can see all of the islands that you wanted to? They should offer that to cruisers because cruisers spend money and that time frame is just way to short to enjoy. How about going to American Samoa and then sailing back? What other island could have you sailed to and then sailed back where it would have been supper easy to do?
It is my understanding that in PF, it takes more than a day before you may return. Dommage.
@@captainjimolchs What does dommage mean and could you elaborate more?
Poetry is like masturbation: not to be indulged in public.
The drone shots are fabulous! Gorgeous! You guys have great photography with your vids! Safe travels ⛵️⛵️⛵️ Oh, and loved the poem
I'd rather sail Sweet Ruca than that supper yacht because it's simple and not flashy which makes it much more fun in my opinion but I'm a simple yet complicated kind of guy. I bet the food aboard is much better but I hate dressing up and don't care about being waited on.
Excellent video as always. Super vessel sail or power equal super costs
Oh yeah Polynesian dances are pretty unambiguous :). These guys don't waste their time with useless talk :). They get down to business :).
Y. E. A. H. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 wine thirty with one of my favorite sailing teams ‼️‼️👍🏻 Happy you chose the weather window as you have a long way to go and sometimes there will be sacrifices. Looking forward to part 2 of sailing to American Samosa. See you next time. ✨🌊💨⛵️🏝️👙🌞✨
The more boat you have, the more it will cost you in time and money to maintain it. 🙂
Great moment ! Thank you team for your " partage" 😜 Kisses from Belgium .
Two master yachtsmen as a passenger I would feel safe going anywhere in the world with these lucky dog.
Thank you ❤
Love you reading the poem 💜 and the music with it was just right. Not too distracting. Love this video!
Can't wait to see Samoa deez videos.
Ha! I see what you did there. Nice.
Missed the open sea and Sweet Ruca but glad you all had fun
Loave the Dancing Guys... :) Be Safe... :)
Great episode. Have fun guys
Wow Sailor great episode ❤
Great video!
What a beautiful day to sail, need to set some time aside to take my Hobie Cat out to the lake!
Thank you. Wonderful as always.
Hello, how are you guys? Impeccable work and clean maneuvers. P.S. A big greeting and as always a bone for Roxy
Beautiful. I loved the poem (by Walt Whitman) that you recited. Literary elevation at sea level by a naval nomad. Thank you.
At-all not a-toll. As usual fantastic footage guys
Where are the whales???? Go back for the whales
Thanks!! Another great video!!
🧿👍
Un gran bel video! Buon mare e buon vento ragazzi!
Oh yea. Coffee with Sweet Ruca. It is good to see they keep their culture alive. Give Kate a grass skirt and she would look like a native island girl. The scenery around the mountains is pretty amazing. This video seemed to fly by quick. I think Kate has become a master at editing. Can't thank yall enough for the effort to bring these videos to us. Patience Curtis. Gotta have patience at the DMV and customs. Yall keep having fun and stay safe.
Did you have issues checking Roxi out of the country? You lost your green rope wheel. The drone shots of the boat are beautiful!!
Thank You, Folks!
Beautiful. Great video !
Loved to watch the two of you enjoy this amazing day! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Intense. Congratulations on rounding the Horn. Regarding the video, well done. Let the sea and the sailing do the talking.
