- Ahoy followers! Go offshore with us as Phillip and I sail our Niagara 35 five days across the Gulf of Mexico in some sporty bluewater conditions on our way to the Bahamas. That’s right, Video Annie is back! Well, under some conditions.
I definitely HAD to take a break last year from CZcams. Trying to film and produce weekly full-length quality videos to earn Ad and Patreon money proved brutal and straining on our ability to actually enjoy our cruising. For that reason, I stepped back and did not produce videos for a while. But, I do love to film and produce, just at a leisure pace that does not interfere with our enjoyment of the experience and not for any pay, just for fun. And, I’ve put together some amazing videos from our voyage to the Bahamas. I have been publishing them on my blog only, but after several die-hard CZcams fans reached out asking me to share them here, too, I decided to do that. Just putting them up for fun, at a slow pace, so you CZcamsrs can enjoy as well.
But, if you have been craving some HaveWind for a while now and want to get all caught up immediately, be my guest! There are dozens of articles, posts, and I believe about ten videos now from our Bahamas voyage, all just waiting for you there. Feel free to start here (www.havewindwilltravel.com/2018/01/04/bv1-packing-weather-planning-passage-day-one/) and work your way forward through the posts chronologically. In blog time, we’re at Green Turtle Cay right now for New Year’s 2018. Sweet!
I will always write and produce at www.HaveWindWillTravel.com because I love writing, photographing and filming, and I have a passion for sharing our adventures. This video covers one of our more intense offshore runs with 24 hours of 20-25 kts of wind and 6-8 (to sometimes 10) foot seas, but the boat and crew proved more than capable and we had a helluva time laying another 500 nm under our keel on our way to the Bahamas. We can’t wait to share the rest of the voyage with you. Hope you enjoy this first offshore leg! Buckle up! It’s one heck of a ride!
Sailboat model and length great video this on my bucket list
The GOM can be wonderful to cross or miserable. I have six crossings; one was great, one was okay, and the other four were miserable! But, what a beautuful place to be! Thanks!
Thanks for the comments and warm welcome back all! We’ve got plenty more videos to share. I’ll keep cranking them out at a slow and steady pace so you all can enjoy. We sailed our boat from Pensacola around Key West, to the Bahamas (we did the Abacos, Eleuthera, and the Berries) and back this season and are planning to come back next year, perhaps, to do the Exumas nice and slow or go explore some other part of the Caribbean. We’ll be doing lots of projects this summer on the boat and will definitely document those. Follow along at www.havewindwilltravel.com as well as our Instagram and Facebook pages. Thanks!
Chances are good that I worked on your yacht. I worked at Gulfstar in '79 and '80 on the decking crew. My job was to install all the hardware. I loved working on them and it does my heart good to see them still in use. Happy sailing.
Great fun!
Iove to see more guys!
Boy it's been awhile, glad your still sailing! At least it wasn't a boring trip.
Wow! Great video, nice editing.
I can’t believe Pensacola , Florida, can get this cold,unbelievable.

We’ve missed you both!! I can understand the stress of trying to keep up with that kind of video schedule. Life should be fun FIRST! I look forward to more of your adventures.
Stay wild , free and happy!!
Well done Captain Annie and first Mate Phillip. Also Captain Annie, you look so calm docking up as you would say.

I saw your boat in GTC, as I was getting ready to move on to Great Guana Cay. I love the Abacos
Now, this was a beautiful video! Great photography, wonderful seamanship, great characters, nicely edited and the sound and editing were top notch. The pace was inspiring!
Content de vous revoir ☺!

Wow..... I didn't Kno the gulf was that cold...y'all look like u have alot of exp....I sailed as teenager n lakes.... hoping to sail gulf one day
Happy New Year guys! As I watched this, it was 8 degrees outside. You have no idea how jealous I am right now. The boat looks great and Annie (excuse me, Capt. Annie) looks much more comfortable docking. Congratulations, and enjoy the trip!

Well here in Melboune Australia on this Saturday we are going to have 41*c or 105.6 f
So happy for ya’ll. The crescendo to all the hard work, boat yard living preparing your boat. Happy New Year !!🙌🙌
What are your thoughts on getting a windvane for steering? You seem to have a history with autopilots 😎
I was just thinking last week what a shame it is that you guys aren’t on here any more. With that solved, I’ll start wondering about world peace. :)
Great video. It’s been a while, where have you been?
Great video. Greetings from Sarasota, which you sailed right by! What kind of camera did you use for the prop check? We ran over a crab trap and it ruined a nice trip...
I still think Phil talks too much. Nice to see the two of you again.
Hope this video release means there will be more coming 🤓
Was that 5 days from around Pensacola to key west?
Now I have never sailed. But I am taking an interest in doing so. Why did it take five days to get from Pensacola to Key West? Is that because you just gingerly sailed a cross the Gulf? Or no that’s pretty much the normal amount of time it takes to do that 500 nautical miles?
What type of sailboat is that I have a Morgan 35 that looks very similar
she is so beautiful.
you look cute , not tired
I missed this when it came out !
2 things, first, it is nice to have a "pint size" captain to do those hard to reach repairs and second any sailor who only sail in flat calm water is no sailor !
Remember eyes to the lens not the screen.
Good video! I do recommend losing the music. Kinda gets very distracting!
What is the boat?
That crossing was nothing for a Niagara 35
Dial-up?
nice vid,great boat too,,,,i own a 28 hinterhoeller,, check her at ( sarcelle quebec ) on youtube
Justin Bieber marriage going to last longer then your boat will :) hehehehe…..
Sailed across the whole Gulf? Seriously??? You went from one part of Florida to another! Now, sailing from Galveston or Padre Island (in Texas) to the Keys would count as crossing the Gulf of Mexico, not what you did.
I’d say it’s across the gulf north to south
@@jacobymast6652 , one part of Florida to another part of Florida. PERIOD.
I enjoyed the video but your camera sucks!
Haha

Gotta love it
